Daredevil: End of Days #5

The fifth chapter of this eight-part limited series arrives with a cover by Alex Maleev that is quietly devastating — a bloodied figure slumped over a steering wheel inside a vehicle, rendered in muted, bruised tones that feel more like a crime novel painting than a superhero comic. It's a striking, intimate image that carries the whole weight of the series' noir-soaked premise on its shoulders. With Bendis, Mack, Janson, Sienkiewicz, and Hollingsworth collaborating inside, End of Days continues to be one of 2013's most compellingly dark corners of the Marvel universe.
