Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev Ultimate Collection #1
In "Wake Up Part 1," Daredevil confronts a threat that cuts deeper than any blade—someone within the Kingpin’s empire has defied him, and now the man who once spared a life is being hunted. Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev deliver a tense, character-driven opener where past choices echo into the present, and every shadow holds a secret. The cover by Alex Maleev captures the mood perfectly, a stark, moody portrait of a man caught between vengeance and consequence.
