Daredevil fans are in for a treat! A new miniseries, Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell, is launching, reuniting writer Charles Soule and artist Steve McNiven. This series draws inspiration from The Dark Knight Returns, depicting an older, powerless Matt Murdock grappling with his past.

Set in a future where superheroes are largely absent, the story explores what remains of Matt Murdock when his powers are gone. Soule explains this approach allows for a fresh perspective on the character, stripping him down to his core while exploring new creative avenues outside regular continuity. The series features a new corner of the Marvel Universe with lingering consequences from past events, offering opportunities for inventive storytelling.

Soule views this collaboration with McNiven as an evolution of their past work, including Death of Wolverine, noting the collaborative nature of Cold Day in Hell. While he remains tight-lipped about the roles of supporting characters and villains, he promises significant surprises.

The timing of the miniseries release coincides with the Daredevil: Born Again series on Disney+, drawing inspiration from Soule's previous Daredevil run. He confirms the show incorporates elements from his comic work, including Mayor Fisk and Muse, along with thematic elements. Soule expresses his excitement at seeing these ideas reach a wider audience.

Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell #1 releases April 2, 2025. The series is designed to be accessible even to new readers, requiring only basic knowledge of Daredevil's background.
