Daredevil is not the sort of character who often gets the benefit of a line-wide event. The hero usually keeps to himself as a street-level character, the protector of Hell’s Kitchen who very rarely steps out of his comfort zone of Manhattan or away from his typical problems. But every so often, the character is thrust into a wider spotlight. A recent instance of this was the Devil’s Reign event, in which Kingpin, then New York City’s mayor, outlawed vigilantes. A more classic one was that of Inferno, where Matt Murdock and his supporting cast have to deal with a demon infestation courtesy of Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen.But there’s one event that’s become infamously connected with Daredevil, spanning pretty much all of writer Andy Diggle’s time on the character. It was even the starting point of now-beloved artist Marco Checchetto working on Marvel and the Daredevil character, getting to return to the title as mainstay artist and co-collaborator during Chip Zdarsky’s run. Shadowland was a dark saga that brought Matt Murdock to one of his lowest-ever points. Daredevil finally snapped as he was made the ruler of the Hand organization, after years of torment and tragedy, and became a monster—literally, he was possessed by a demon—that the other heroes of New York needed to stop. While not exactly beloved, the event was a key point in the tumultuous life of Daredevil.In the last third of the esteemed crime writer’s run, Daredevil is approached by the villain Lady Bullseye on behalf of the Hand, put through some rigorous testing to make sure he’s worthy of leading the organization. This is right after Murdock had narrowly dodged longer than a few months in prison, as well as after his wife, Milla Donovan, was placed into a mental institution for life after the wicked Mister Fear tampered with her mind.
