Daredevil is born again - all over again! Industry stars Saladin Ahmed and Aaron Kuder have laced up and entered the ring, ready to take Matt Murdock on a knockout of an adventure! But how is he back? Where does his wife, Elektra, fit into all of this? And why is Matt wearing a priest's collar? The Man Without Fear has a new calling as a man of faith, but corruption is tearing apart Hell's Kitchen! Those who have sworn to protect the city have betrayed their oaths, and Matt feels compelled to seek righteous retribution - one billy club to the face at a time! But when Bullseye makes his bloody entrance into Matt's new life and the bodies being to pile up, Daredevil must make an impossible choice between stopping his deadliest enemy and saving the soul of his friend! Collecting DAREDEVIL (2023) #1-5.
Saladin Ahmed is an acclaimed novelist and poet who is fast gaining a reputation as one of the comics industry’s brightest talents. His 2012 book Throne of the Crescent Moon, the first volume in a trilogy, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel and won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. The critical praise continued for his Marvel Comics debut on Black Bolt with artist Christian Ward, which won the 2018 Eisner Award for Best New Series. Ahmed followed that project with Exiles, then went on to chart the adventures of two of Marvel’s brightest young heroes in Miles Morales: Spider-Man and Magnificent Ms. Marvel.

Artist and writer Aaron Kuder cut his teeth in the comics industry working on the New York Times best-selling book The Amory Wars and Key of Z, both with Claudio Sanchez from Evil Ink Comics. Since 2012, his work has graced the pages of Green Lantern: New Guardians, Legion Lost and Action Comics for DC, as well as Avenging Spider-Man and Marvel Universe vs. the Avengers. Kuder joined Gerry Duggan on both All-New Guardians of the Galaxy and Infinity Countdown, and Ed Brisson on Ghost Rider.
