About this Collection

This trade paperback collects the five-issue miniseries Daredevil: Love's Labors Lost (2002), written by David Mack with art by Joe Quesada and others. The story follows Matt Murdock as he reflects on past romantic relationships, including his loves with Karen Page, Elektra, and others, while facing a new threat that forces him to confront his personal losses. Mack's lyrical narrative and Quesada's expressive artwork combine for a character-driven exploration of Daredevil's emotional vulnerabilities.

In "Prophecy," Daredevil finds himself caught between a desperate prisoner’s bid for freedom and a dangerous mission tied to the Old Woman of Beare. As the Gael uses a prison pressing machine to escape, Daredevil uncovers a troubling connection—Glori is secretly working for the I.R.A.—while the mystery deepens. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with striking precision by David Mazzucchelli, with colors by Steve Mellor and letters by Joe Rosen, this issue’s cover by David Mazzucchelli captures the tension in a single, haunting image.
