Daredevil: The Dark Art

Enter MUSE! The saga deepens in this brand-new edition of the essential source material behind Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+.

After a crushing courtroom defeat, MATT MURDOCK's life as both attorney and vigilante are thrown into turmoil. But the true nightmare begins on the streets of Hell's Kitchen, where a string of gruesome murders leads to the debut of a terrifying new villain: MUSE - a serial killer who transforms his victims into grotesque "artworks."

As DAREDEVIL confronts this sadistic mad man, a price is suddenly put on his head--drawing BULLSEYE and a host of the city's deadliest assassins into the hunt. And looming above it all is the fight of Matt's life: a case that takes him to the steps of the Supreme Court, where the fate of his secret identity hangs in the balance.

With #1 New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule and Eisner Award-nominated artist Ron Garney raising the stakes at every turn, The Dark Art cements itself as a chilling and essential chapter in the saga that inspired the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.
