Marvel Comics

Daredevil crosses a point of no return: he takes over the Hand and builds the Shadowland fortress over Hell's Kitchen. What starts as an attempt to reform the ninja clan becomes Matt Murdock's darkest reign, forcing Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and other heroes to intervene. Written by Andy Diggle and Antony Johnston with art by Marco Checchetto.

Closing of the Zdarsky-Checchetto run with the Devil's Reign event: Wilson Fisk outlaws all New York vigilantes in an act of personal revenge against Daredevil. The final Daredevil vs Kingpin showdown closes a decades-long cycle and redefines the relationship between the two characters. One of the most coherent Marvel events of the last decade.

Chip Zdarsky kicks off his acclaimed run with a radical premise: Matt Murdock accidentally kills a man during a fight in Hell's Kitchen, and that moment tears him apart. The entire run explores the moral, legal and religious consequences. At his side is Marco Checchetto, one of the most atmospheric cartoonists in modern comics. Multiple Eisner nominations.

Closing of the rotating phase before the start of Dan Slott's Big Time. The writers close their individual arcs and prepare the ground for the next phase: Horizon Labs, Spider-Island and the preparation of Superior Spider-Man. The end of Marvel's most ambitious editorial experiment with the character in decades.
