☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2009 hardcover collects the classic seven-issue storyline from Daredevil #227-233, written by Frank Miller with art by David Mazzucchelli. The story follows Matt Murdock as his life is systematically dismantled by the Kingpin, leading to a powerful exploration of identity, faith, and resilience. Widely regarded as one of the definitive Daredevil arcs, it's a landmark in superhero storytelling for its gritty, character-driven narrative.
In "Apocalypse," Matt Murdock faces his darkest hour as the Kingpin pushes him to the brink, orchestrating a brutal confrontation that leaves him broken and discarded. After being beaten and abandoned in a river with a dead cab driver’s body, Matt’s survival becomes a haunting mystery the Kingpin can’t ignore. With David Mazzucchelli’s stark, expressive art and Frank Miller’s relentless storytelling, this pivotal issue captures the raw edge of a hero pushed beyond limits.
In "Purgatory," Matt faces a brutal escalation when the Kingpin strikes back with cold precision, leaving him broken and abandoned. After a crushing defeat, Matt is cast into the river—only to reemerge, alive and hunted, as the Kingpin's game turns darker.
In "Pariah!", young Matt Murdock recalls the night Turk, masked as Santa, stabbed him—his first memory of pain and loss, soon followed by the quiet care of Sister Maggie. As adult Ben, a journalist, is cautioned to drop a story linking Matt to the Kingpin, the past begins to echo in the present.
In the aftermath of a brutal ordeal, Matt Murdock finds himself in the care of Sister Maggie, a woman whose quiet strength becomes a lifeline. As Karen Page arrives in New York searching for answers, Ben Urich grapples with the truth behind the man known as Daredevil, while Kingpin, ever calculating, commissions a new Daredevil costume from Melvin Potter. When Matt finally learns the shocking truth about Sister Maggie’s identity, his past and present collide in ways he never expected.
In "Saved," Ben’s investigation into the Kingpin puts his wife in grave danger, forcing Matt to step into the shadows once more—this time in a Daredevil costume he didn’t choose. When the fight ends, the mask stays on, and the weight of the past meets the fragile hope of a reunion between Matt and Karen.
In "Armageddon," Daredevil confronts Nuke in a brutal clash that draws Captain America into the fray. As the two heroes uncover the truth, they link Kingpin to the Nuke program, exposing a web of government secrets that threatens to unravel everything.
