To celebrate Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, which premiered on Disney+ earlier this week, Marvel Comics will spotlight artwork from the highly-anticipated show in a new line of variant covers.
On sale starting in April, the three "Marvel Television Variant Covers" will be featured on issues #20 - #21 of Daredevil's current solo comic series as well as the second issue of the upcoming Daredevil: Cold Day In Hell limited series.
The covers showcase original costume illustrations and concept art from Marvel Studios' Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding and Visual Development Supervisor Jackson Sze, including designs for Daredevil's new suit debuting in the show.
Easily the most intriguing piece shows Matt Murdock looking a little worse for wear and wearing a red tactical mask while wielding the broken remains of his cane.
Daredevil #20 by Saladin Ahmed and José Luis Soares kicks off an all-new story arc of Ahmed's acclaimed run where the Man Without Fear suits up in his iconic black armour to face off against a new enemy.
Daredevil: Cold Day In Hell, by superstar comic creators Charles Soule and Steve McNiven is a three-issue prestige limited series that takes place in a grim future and stars an older, grizzled Matt Murdock who must become Daredevil once more.
Check out this new Daredevil: Born Again concept art below.
