Aug 13, 2025OverallThis is a fantastic conclusion to the story, and as expected, there are a few casualties along the way. I especially loved that Daredevil had to face Bullseye while his powers were fading with each passing second visually represented through brief flashes of vision interrupted by darkness. The inner monologue toward the end is brilliant, with Daredevil questioning why he's been on this journey at all, trying to justify his actions both to himself and to some greater presence. His final plea to Tyra, convincing her to use her light, is executed perfectly and feels earned. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this arc. Whether it becomes a future classic isn't for me to decide, but as far as Daredevil stories go, it's one of the best I've read in recent years. Read Full Review

Aug 06, 2025Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell #3 is a brutal, blood-soaked farewell to Matt Murdock, but also a love letter to what makes Daredevil endure the relentless fight to do what's right, even when the world stops watching. Soule, McNiven, and White have crafted a finale that feels both intimate and epic, flawed but unforgettable. If this truly is Daredevil's last stand, it's a hell of a way to go out. Read Full Review

Aug 07, 2025Ultimately, Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell #3 is a visceral, atmospheric finale that honors the theme of heroism in ruin. New York may go dark, but what shines through is Matt Murdocks unwavering resolve. The real question Soule leaves you with isnt about a legacyit's about your own willingness to stand up when hell comes knocking. Its a powerful, somber note to close on: dystopian in tone, unwavering in heart. If issues1 and2 showed us a man reborn in bleakness, issue3 shows us why hes still worth following. Its a fitting end for one of Marvels boldest takes on its most haunted hero. Read Full Review

Plot Bullseye frees a nearly paralyzed Punisher and prepares for his final attack, for which he drinks an unknown liquid and puts his uniform back on. The Punisher climbs into an exoskeleton Bullseye had stored, with which he manages to free Tyra and eliminate everyone, all part of Bullseye's twisted plan. Daredevil arrives where Bullseye is doing a live broadcast, and the two begin to fight like old times. Bullseye has hundreds of needles in his skin, which improves his pulse and aim. The Punisher arrives and nearly kills Bullseye; Matt stops him like old times. Bullseye's plan is to gather thousands of people around this fight, either with the Punisher or Daredevil, to activate a bomb filled with the radioactive substance that g more

The parallels to Dark Knight Returns are pretty strong but if you're going to crib, crib from the best. And this story lived up to the standard that DKR set. Great story, great writing, awesome scenes, good art. "Nubs" Punisher was true to character, fighting to the end. Loved it.

This mini was everything I love about Daredevil. Doing whatever it takes to help even just one person, no matter the cost to himself. Staring evil in the face and refusing to stoop to its level or surrender to it. Helping others to see the light even while he himself struggles to see it. It was, in a word, perfect. Also, the moment where Bullseye spat the tooth had my jaw on the floor. So freaking cool. Charles Soule...thank you for this. Big props to Steve McNiven too who brought it to life with his exceptional artwork.

Was almost perfect until the end. It wasn't bad by any means, just a bit of a let down for me.
