Daredevil, Vol. 5 (Marvel Comics, 2015–2018)
Launched in late 2015, Daredevil Vol. 5 brings Matt Murdock back “in black” and back to the streets of New York with a sharp, modern blend of courtroom tension and street-level violence. Written by Charles Soule, the run leans hard into Matt’s double life—balancing vigilantism with a renewed commitment to the law—while steadily tightening the screws until both identities are put under maximum pressure.
One of the defining elements of this volume is how it rebuilds Daredevil’s world with fresh momentum: a new status quo for Matt’s legal career, a new protégé in Blindspot, and a steady escalation of threats that feel personal, political, and impossible to punch your way out of. The run is equal parts legal drama, moral dilemma, and noir superhero action—very grounded, but always simmering with the sense that a single mistake could collapse everything.
Midway through, the title shifts into Marvel’s legacy numbering (jumping from #28 to #595) and drives straight into one of the era’s biggest Daredevil premises: Wilson Fisk’s power in New York becomes institutional, turning Daredevil’s war with the Kingpin into something far more dangerous than a back-alley feud. That “Mayor Fisk” era builds toward the milestone Daredevil #600 and sets up a dramatic endgame that reshapes the board for Matt Murdock going forward.
Primary creative run: Charles Soule (writer), with major art by Ron Garney and later Stefano Landini (among others).
Issue numbering: #1–28, then legacy #595–612.
