Daredevil: The Cold Day of Hell, thanks to the incredible works of Charles Saul and Steve McNiven, we were able to take what was the standard “old superhero” story and make it a compelling read. The duo creates a dark vision of Marvel’s universe without superheroes and Matt Murdoch, who has regained his strength after years of blindness. It was hell of riding, and Daredevil: Cold Days in Hell #3 is where it all ends.
Most of the books are dedicated to the final battle between Daredevil and Bullseye, airing in New York City. It’s a hell of battle thanks to the level of detail that McNiven has poured into his art. No quarters are given. Bullseye uses the substance that ultimately stabilizes his body and allows him to regain his fatal purpose, and he wastes no time using it innocent and ignorant. Meanwhile, Daredevil loses his slowly, reinforced sense of feeling, but once it becomes active, McNiven draws a red radar ring that echoes throughout New York.
McNiven doesn’t hold back the bloody element, especially when Punisher gets a loose, mechanized battle suit. His head is torn, his stomach is punched, and his nose is bitten. It’s raw and brutal, but that’s what you expect from Frank Castle – even if he doesn’t have limbs and is much older.
Amazing
Daredevil: Cold Days in Hell #3 is more than just a big knockdown dragout fight. Soule jumps into Daredevil’s head for the last time, revealing what keeps him moving even in the darkest times. Is it his faith in God? What is his desire to see the right thing? The answer is in the middle, and it becomes a rather moving ending that convinces Tyra, the young girl who returned in #1, to use her powers to save New York. “Are you hiding in the darkness or will you step into the light?” he asks her – a statement defining Daredevil in his nucleus. There’s one option that Soule and McNiven feel shouldn’t be when it comes to Daredevil and Punisher, but that’s a small qui-hit.
The Last Work of What Makes Daredevil: Hell on a Cold Day #3 is a gorgeous color art by Dean White, paired with Clayton Cowles lettering. Red is one of the most prominent colors. It could be Daredevil’s suit, the bloody acts of the Bullseye and Punisher, or Matt’s inner thoughts. Black continues behind, representing both the literal and the philosophor darkness in which Matt found himself. But there is a third colour at the end. The blind white representing the light of the new day, the final page is sung further.
Daredevil: A Cold Day in Hell #3 brings one of the more persuasive Daredevil stories to a brutal and heart-pounding end. This isn’t just Daredevil’s Dark Knight Return. It’s one of those stories that delve into the heart of what makes Daredevil work, even in his darkest times.
