About this Collection

This collection kicks off the Daredevil Visionaries series with the acclaimed 'Guardian Devil' storyline by writer Kevin Smith and artist Joe Quesada. It follows Matt Murdock as he faces a series of personal and professional crises, including a mysterious baby left in his care and a deadly new adversary, while grappling with his faith and identity as Daredevil. The volume collects Daredevil (Vol. 2) #1-8, featuring appearances by key characters like Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Bullseye, Mephisto, and the Kingpin.

In "Guardian Devil Part One: "...And a Child Shall Lead Them All"", Daredevil finds himself ensnared in a mystery that pulls him into a dangerous game where a mysterious child may be at the heart of chaos.

Written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by Joe Quesada, with inks by Jimmy Palmiotti and colors by Avalon Studios' Drew and Laura, this issue’s cover by Quesada and Palmiotti captures the tension of a story where innocence and danger blur.
