Fresh out of the ‘Marvel Fanfare with C.B. Cebulski’ Panel at New York Comic Con this weekend, Marvel have announced details of DAREDEVIL:COLD DAY IN HELL, an epic new ‘dark future’ series from writer Charles Soule and artist Steve McNiven, launching next April.

Set in a Marvel Universe future on the brink of collapse, the series introduces a grizzled, older version of Matt Murdock. Here’s the official synopsis:

Years into the future, a powerless Matt Murdock is no longer Daredevil, but he’s still the Man Without Fear! Doing whatever he can to help those in need in a city broken beyond repair, he’ll finally be able take the fight to where it matters most when something catastrophic happens causing his powers to miraculously return. 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…

“I know whatever idea I write is going to be executed masterfully by Steve, and that level of trust allows you to take a lot of risks,” Soule said. “It’s been a really interesting process because the way we made it is something I wouldn’t do with an artist that I didn’t have this level of collaboration and trust with. We’ve been working on this book for four years, and that time has been well spent.”

“I started out by going why are not more people learning from Frank [Miller] and the storytelling he does,” added McNiven. “I was inspired by his work on Dark Knight Returns. To a certain degree, the structure of a 16 panel grid forces you to do different storytelling techniques.”
