Two months after the chaos of Spider-Man’s war with the Sinister Seven, Hell’s Kitchen is bleeding again. Matt Murdock, after twelve years as Daredevil, has learned that no matter how many battles he wins, evil always finds its way back. By day, he runs Nelson & Murdock with Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, fighting for justice in court; by night, he brings it to the streets. But when bodies begin turning up — victims marked by surgical precision — Matt discovers the return of his deadliest foe: Lester, the assassin once known as Bullseye. Thought long gone, Bullseye has resurfaced deadlier than ever, enhanced and unleashed on New York by unseen forces with one objective — to kill Daredevil and everyone he’s ever cared about. Haunted by failure and burdened by faith, Matt is pushed to his limits as Bullseye tears through his city and his life, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. The line between justice and vengeance blurs as Daredevil descends into a relentless, R-rated war of attrition against the one man who knows how to break him completely. When Bullseye targets Foggy and Karen, Matt must confront not only his nemesis but the darkness within himself — the rage, guilt, and self-hatred he’s long tried to silence. Daredevil: Devil’s Reckoning is a brutal, emotional descent into hell, where faith and fury collide — and only one devil will walk out alive.
