New York is known as the city that never sleeps, but in the world of Marvel Comics, that’s somehow even more true, with everything from cackling goblins with pumpkin bombs to criminal Kingpins on the loose. For Matt Murdock, it’s a lot to handle, even if he’s not the only hero operating in the five boroughs. Coming off issue #5 of Stephanie Phillips‘ <em>Daredevil</em> Vol. 9, he’s managed to stop the serial killer Omen who targeted his best friend, Foggy Nelson, and is now focusing back in on his work as an adjunct law professor. As much as he needs a break to focus on non-vigilante life, he’s not afforded that luxury with the city’s criminal factions ready for all-out war.
Issue #6, released today, begins a new storyline for the Man Without Fear called “Of Moles and Owls,” which will see just about all the biggest street-level Marvel villains come out of the woodwork to take over New York or destroy each other and the city while trying. That includes Owlman, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Silvermane, the Tracksuit Mafia, and more, all of whom are looking for whatever edge they can get on each other. Daredevil is caught in the crossfire and threatens to break under the weight of so much criminal activity. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, he’s about to get a bit of much-needed backup from someone who knows him all too well.
Towards the end of the issue, after confronting Owlman for his little hostage stunt to attract the Devil’s attention, Matt learns from the criminal about an exchange going on that night with the police and a mole close to the Kingpin. The mole has agreed to give up a book that Wilson Fisk has used to record endless details about the criminal underworld, the future of his empire, and even the identities of masked vigilantes like Murdock. Before he can act on the information from Owlman to prevent an all-out war in the streets or even decide whether to trust him, Matt gets caught up in a battle against an upgraded Silvermane and a swarm of cops and lackeys under Hammerhead’s employ. As he’s being swallowed up by a crowd of crooks ready to beat him to a pulp,it’s revealed that his fellow Daredevil, Elektra Natchios, has been listening in on panicked radio chatter after hijacking a police vehicle.
Elektra has thus far been absent from Phillips’Daredevil run, last putting differences aside to fight alongside Matt against Fisk at the end of Volume 8. On one hand, her return gives the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen some much-needed help with another capable vigilante on the prowl. He’s also not in any position to refuse her given his current predicament. However, their tumultuous relationship means his old friend and foe may just as easily upend his life as save it. Given the devilish smile on her face, it’s clear that she’s eager to see Matt again and intrigued by all the forces at play in New York. She also arrives at a fitting time given<em>Daredevil: Born Again</em> will soon bring the character back to television in Season 3 as played byÉlodie Yung.
