Daredevil: The Devil In Cell-Block D

The Man Without Fear is behind bars!

For the past few years, Matt Murdock’s life has been teetering on the edge of destruction. Now, pushed beyond the limit, Matt finds himself behind the eight ball with no clear way out — exposed as Daredevil and incarcerated in Rykers, Foggy Nelson’s death plaguing his every waking moment. Blaming himself, Matt runs wild, determined to find out who put his best friend at the end of a knife. This is Daredevil as you’ve never seen him before — unplugged from his own sense of right and wrong, alone in the cold walls of the system he’s spent his life defending — and the only thing on his mind is vengeance! But while Matt is locked up, who’s that running around Hell’s Kitchen pretending to be Daredevil? And what secrets was Foggy keeping?! Award-winning creators Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark begin their acclaimed run — featuring appearances by Bullseye, the Kingpin and the Punisher!
