Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell - Hardcover

by Charles Soule (Author), Steve McNiven (Illustrator), Steve McNiven

The superstar team behind Death of Wolverine reunite for a bold, dystopian saga that redefines Daredevil at the end of his life and at the edge of a broken world.

In a future where heroes have fallen and New York lies in ruins, an aging MATT MURDOCK has left his days as DAREDEVIL behind. But when CAPTAIN AMERICA entrusts him with one last mission, Matt is forced back into a war he thought he'd left forever. With powers that have become unreliable with age, a frail body, and his old enemy BULLSEYE on the warpath once again, Daredevil must decide what it is that keeps him fighting: his faith, a sense of justice, or simply the refusal to let evil rule unchecked.

Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule (Daredevil: Back in Black, Star Wars) and illustrated by Eisner Award-nominee Steve McNiven (Civil War, Old Man Logan), DAREDEVIL: COLD DAY IN HELL is a timeless reminder of why heroes endure even in a world consumed by darkness.

In addition, he worked as the legal consultant for the 2022 Disney+ television She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law.

Artist Steve McNiven parlayed a chance trip to San Diego Comic-Con into a position at CrossGen Comics, where he quickly earned a regular assignment on Meridian. When CrossGen ceased publishing, McNiven moved on to Marvel Knights 4 with writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Next, he joined Warren Ellis on Ultimate Secret. In 2006, McNiven and Mark Millar shattered the Marvel Universe's status quo in Civil War. His next assignments included Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers and the initial story arc of Amazing Spider-Man's "Brand New Day" era. McNiven and Millar reteamed for "Old Man Logan" in Wolverine and the creator-owned Nemesis, published under the Marvel Icon imprint. With Ed Brubaker, McNiven helped relaunch Captain America; his later Marvel work includes Guardians of the Galaxy with Bendis and Uncanny Avengers with Rick Remender. McNiven cemented his reputation as one of the all-time great Wolverine artists on the climactic series Death of Wolverine.
