About this Collection
This Epic Collection volume, titled 'Fall from Grace,' brings together a pivotal era for the Man Without Fear, collecting issues from the mid-1990s. The storyline sees Matt Murdock grappling with the fallout of his secret identity being exposed, leading to a dark and desperate chapter where he must fight not only classic foes but also a new, deadly vigilante named the Fallen. It features the work of writer D.G. Chichester and artists including Scott McDaniel, capturing the gritty, noir-infused tone of the time.
In "Vendettas," Daredevil faces a wave of escalating threats as Steel Collar and Killobyte strike with renewed fury, aided by Gambit’s unexpected intervention. With Matt presumed dead and Karen thrust into the spotlight of a dangerous new world, Matt—under the alias Jack Batlin—tests his new training ground while Strucker’s techno-terrorist plans grow bolder. Meanwhile, a tense encounter with Elektra and a surprising alliance with Captain America at a masquerade rave reveal deeper divisions in their beliefs about a future ruled by machines. Written by D. G. Chichester and illustrated by Scott McDaniel, with inks by Hector Collazo and Rich Rankin, colors by Joe Andreani, and letters by Bill Oakley, this issue features a cover by Scott McDaniel.
