Daredevil Epic Collection: Redemption

BORN AGAIN artist David Mazzucchelli makes his DAREDEVIL debut!

Daredevil enters a bold new era under writer Dennis O’Neil with a gritty, character-driven tone that explores humankind’s temptations and broken aspirations while pushing Matt Murdock to the limit. As we race toward issue #200, Kingpin enters an alliance with the Yakuza to rebuild Bullseye’s shattered spine with adamantium, and Daredevil teams with Wolverine and heads to Japan for a landmark showdown with Elektra’s killer. This volume also marks the debut of soon-to-be-legendary artist David Mazzucchelli and the saga of Micah Synn, a ruthless new foe who uncovers DD’s identity and challenges both Kingpin and Daredevil for control of New York. Plus: a story by sci-fi master Harlan Ellison, the debut of Glorianna O’Breen and a brutal experience for Foggy and Debbie Nelson.
