The comic says to the reader in hushed tones: "Of course all of your heroes are killers." (Photo: Marvel Entertainment) That's why making Daredevil a murderer with such logical and moral clarity feel like an epiphany. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and even Spider-Man all nod to their own complicity in manslaughter, stating that, "it's part of the job." It's a logical outcome of the superhero genre, but one that goes ignored or unstated in almost all of these comics. So it comes in chapter five that not only Daredevil, but all of his fellow street-level crime fighters, must acknowledge what comes of their actions. Like the tasers and stun batons carried by police, there are only "less lethal" options, none that leave out the possibility of death altogether. Even someone superhumanly powered cannot crack skulls against concrete forever without eventually leaving bodies in their wake.
Instead, he has doubled down on the simple nature of violence. Zdarsky has gone out of his way to wipe away these possibilities. Initially, there was the possibility of a villainous plot or Daredevil's victim not actually being dead. And with DD's absence from Hell's Kitchen, the real devils can come out to play."Know Fear" has spent many pages running through the various excuses that could be summoned for killing a man. Because when a criminal dies, and Daredevil takes the blame, Matt must go on the run in a desperate bid to clear his name! But even he can't outrun judgment forever.
Mistakes will be made along the way - and this time, one might actually prove to be the end of him. The next chapter in the ever-surprising saga of Daredevil! After a brush with death, Matt Murdock must piece together his shattered life - and that includes returning to action as Daredevil! But years of trauma have taken their toll, and becoming the guardian of Hell's Kitchen he once was won't be easy.
