Daredevil is entering a new era with a fresh creative team and the introduction of a new villain. Writer Stephanie Phillips (Planet She-Hulk) and artist Lee Garbett (Death of Doctor Strange) are taking the reins with a new Daredevil #1.

The story will see Matt Murdock facing challenges in his personal life and superhero identity as he becomes a law professor and is challenged by the villain Omen. When Omen targets Matt, Daredevil will strive to learn more about the villain while also attempting to live a normal life.

“I’m taking on one of my favorite characters with one of my favorite artists, and together we’re exploring Daredevil’s noir sensibilities,” Phillips said. “Lee Garbett brings so much style and emotion to every page, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner to bring this version of Daredevil to life.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Stephanie Phillips on Daredevil (2026),” Garbett said. “We came into the project together, with a genuine love of the character and a clear vision for the book. Steph is an incredible writer and has absolutely nailed the tone and heart of Daredevil’s world. Every beat feels authentic and DD at its purest, but we’ve got fresh ideas and some big surprises in store!”

Daredevil #1 will be the second title in the True Believers Blind Bag program, which starts with Ultimate Endgame #1 (out on December 31, 2025). The blind bags will contain any of the issue’s cover, including rare variants exclusive to the blind bags and hand-drawn, one of a kind sketch covers.

The Daredevil #1 bling bags will contain covers by Garbett, Ryan Stegman (foil variant), Gabriele Dell’Otto, Alex Maleev, Joe Quesada, Pablo Villalobos, Greg Land (250th homage variant), Sal Buscema (bicentennial calendar hidden gem variant), Netease Games (Marvel Rivals variant, only available in the blind bag), two by Rose Besch (one virgin variant), two by Dan Panosian (one virgin variant, only available in the blind bag), and two by Daniel Warren Johnson (one virgin variant only available in the blind bag), plus a blank variant, Marvel TV variant, and blind bag exclusive variants by surprise contributors.
