Charles Soule and Steve McNiven are teaming up for the artist’s first major Marvel work in a decade. As announced at the Marvel Fanfare with C.B. Cebulski Panel at New York Comic Con, the duo will be tackling a new limited series titled Daredevil: Cold Day In Hell.
Soule notably had a lauded run on Daredevil in 2015 and previously worked with McNiven on Death of Wolverine. Now, they’ll get back together with a riff on McNiven’s work on Old Man Logan with a look at a Marvel future version of Matt Murdock.

With no one by his side, Daredevil has little chance against the evil permeating every corner until Captain America entrusts him with a mission to safeguard the world’s only hope…
