After years of buildup in the pages of their Eisner-nominated run on DAREDEVIL, writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto will bring their superb talents for high-stakes storytelling to the greater Marvel Universe in DEVIL’S REIGN!

Launching in December, DEVIL’S REIGN will be a classic-style Marvel Comics crossover event, tying into some of your favorite ongoing titles and ushering in exciting new series. The far-reaching saga will center around Kingpin as he broadens his lofty goals in a scheme that will unleash dark secrets about some of Marvel’s greatest heroes. Having kept these shocking truths to himself for ages, Kingpin is ready to ruthlessly expose his foes to gain more power than ever before, and he has more than enough dirt on the Marvel Universe to come out on top!


Wilson Fisk went from Kingpin to mayor of the biggest city in America and is going to bring his full criminal and political power to bear on the super heroes who call NYC home. The man who once destroyed Daredevil has set his sights on the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and more. And since it’s Fisk, once he takes them all down, you know he’s going to sign it. CROSSBONES! TASKMASTER! TYPHOID MARY! SHOCKER! WHIPLASH! RHINO! KRAVEN! Fisk has an army of Super Villains at his command—and this is just his opening salvo. For years, Fisk has waited for his time to strike, and YOU WON’T BELIEVE the aces he’s got up his sleeves!

“Our Daredevil plan just kept getting bigger and bigger, to the point where it would clearly affect the Marvel Universe in huge ways,” Zdarsky explained. “Thankfully, Marvel recognized this as well and gave Marco and I the opportunity to tell the story on a massive stage with DEVIL’S REIGN! This is a proper Marvel event springing from the pages of Daredevil and I think all Marvel readers will love what’s coming!"

"Devil's Reign. Finally here we are. I am really excited and happy to work on this Marvel event. I am also proud of it since it comes directly from our Daredevil’s series, that both, Chip and I, have been working on for a long time now,” Checchetto said. “When I read the story of this event I was speechless. As a fan, I can tell you that I am happy to see Daredevil among the protagonists of this event. I have the opportunity to draw so many characters that I love so much, heroes and villains, and I'm trying to give everyone the dignity and respect they deserve. It will be great."

Be there in December when Kingpin declares war in DEVIL’S REIGN #1! Stay tuned for more information including exciting tie-in announcements, cover reveals, and more!

Is this going to include The Hand storyline that seems to be bubbling under the radar in the current DD run?

[Iron Maiden]

I'm going to have to finally read this run on Marvel Unlimited. I've been putting it off.

Shame that Peter isn't in this, he was a major recurring part in DD run.Chip setting Pete up and then Beyond comes in and takes it all away.
Not that Marvel gives a damn about continuity, Wanda is "dead" and also leading an event at the same time.

[Tony Stark]

I'm really psyched for this event. I've heard about everything going on in Daredevil and it has to come to a head big time. I was going to read it anyway, but putting Tony in it even makes it more enticing.

[OBrianTallent]

I'm not usually a Daredevil fan, but i started picking it up when Elektra took over the mantle and have been really enjoying it. I'm looking forward to this as well.

[charliehustle415]

I'm curious is this is monthly or biweekly

To be fair, Darkhold was delayed by a year due to COVID, the X-Men story wasn't delayed nearly as much. Darkhold is set before the Hellfire Gala.

*Looks at cast* hm.

[Anthony W]

It's nice to know that Luke Cage still doesn't wear a costume out of some misguided attempt at "keepin' it real".

Well we do need to know there is ONE black hero in NYC. They fresh out of everyone else though it seems. There just shouldn't be a book where 95% of the cast looks the same in NYC. But i'm burnt out so off to bed.

[Anthony W]

Man if all these high level heroes are needed just to take Kingpin down I'm pretty sure the Joker could wreck the Marvel Universe.

[Diammandis]

Since this cover and solict pretty much confirms that all the heroes who were seen bloodied and beat up on the floor by Kingpin are participating in this event i really do wonder about the roles they have

Man if all these high level heroes are needed just to take Kingpin down I'm pretty sure the Joker could wreck the Marvel Universe.

Well i mean if Kingpins deploying a horde of supervillains across nyc i can see why so many heroes are needed lol

Facts, can't Tony or Reed take care of this.Like they can handle the multiverse ending but not a fat-man as mayor?(I'm not fat shaming Kingpin, it just sounds cooler that way)
