The Magdalena / Daredevil #1
In "The Devil in Longhand," Phil Hester crafts a gritty, atmospheric thriller as the Magdalena (Patience) and Daredevil (Matt Murdock) collide in Hell's Kitchen, drawn together by a supernatural threat rising from the city's darkest corners. When an ancient demon—once imprisoned and tortured by monks—returns with a vengeance, he dons a cursed armor forged from the souls of his captors' descendants, turning vengeance into a living nightmare. With bold storytelling and striking visuals by Hester, whose dual role as writer and artist shapes every frame, this first issue blends supernatural dread with the raw moral complexity that defines the characters. The cover, also by Hester, captures the story’s brooding intensity.
