Daredevil may have all those cool enhanced senses now, but apparently, they won't last forever. In a press release, Marvel says the new 3-issue miniseries "Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell" will introduce readers to a "grizzled, older, and virtually powerless Matt Murdock." On sale April 2, the series is co-written by Charles Soule and Steve McNiven, with art by McNiven.

Thankfully for the Man Without Fear, it sounds like he won't stay powerless for the entire series. Marvel's press release reads, "No longer operating as a superhero, Matt still finds ways to help others in a world more unjust than ever, but when a catastrophe miraculously restores his enhanced senses, he's able to take the fight to where it matters most as Daredevil."

Dark stories about the future of superheroes are nothing new and Daredevil is no exception. In 2013, Marvel published "Daredevil: End of Days" by Brian Michael Bendis and David W. Mack. An 8-issue miniseries, "End of Days" starts off with Daredevil's death at the hands of his nemesis Bullseye.
According to Soule, his collaboration with McNiven on "Daredevil: A Cold Day in Hell" was unique. He calls it, "a bit of an experiment for us, a back and forth discussion as scripts and inks and dialogue and colors came in throughout, and I think people are going to see that on the page." Soule went on to say, "Steve [McNiven] called it 'jazz' at one point, and I don't think that's so far off."
Unsurprisingly, a long list of creators have been recruited to create variant covers for "Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell" #1, including artists closely associated with Daredevil like Frank Miller and John Romita, Jr. More variant covers will be offered by Leinil Francis Yu, Rose Besch, and Ben Harvey.
While the series might see a "cold day" for ol' hornhead, overall it's a hot time for Daredevil. The first two episodes of the long-awaited TV series "Daredevil: Born Again" arrive on Disney+ tonight at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM PT.
The new series sees Charlie Cox return as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Along with Cox, "Daredevil: Born Again" sees the return of Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Pointdexter/Bullseye, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk.
