Summary

This is issue #14 of Daredevil Vol. 4 (launched in 2014, 21 issues total), the Mark Waid and Chris Samnee run, released March 25, 2015, with Marvel legacy numbering Daredevil #562. The story picks up as Matt Murdock restarts his life in San Francisco: he runs a law firm with Kirsten McDuffie while negotiating with publisher Wendell McDuffie to release his autobiography, ghostwritten by Foggy Nelson. Pressed by Wendell, Matt abandons the pretense of a mask and secret identity altogether, donning an unmasked red-and-black three-piece suit and appearing openly in both the courtroom and the streets, declaring he has only one identity—Matt Murdock is Daredevil. Kirsten and Foggy each harbor misgivings about this almost arrogant candor, and the San Francisco police are equally unimpressed. In the main plot, Matt meets Jubula Pride, a young woman searching the city for her missing father; she is the daughter of the Owl, Leland Owlsley, is highly skilled in combat, and fights alongside Daredevil from her very first appearance. Their investigation leads them to Alcatraz, where they discover the Owl is not the mastermind but a captive, while Max Coleridge, the Shroud, conceals his true scheme in the shadows. The issue opens with the brightest self-revelation of Matt's life, yet by its end the shadows are drawn back into the frame.

Editor's review

第 14 期是韦德与萨姆尼这段艾斯纳奖获奖连载临近收尾时的关键转折点:它几乎一次性拆掉了马特在旧金山建立的全部“安全网”。最有价值的地方不只是一套新制服,更是“摘下面具”这个决定本身——马特不再把夜魔侠当作另一重人格,而是公开承认自己就是那个在法庭门口差点迟到、却会跳上被告席讲段子的盲人律师。萨姆尼在本期把棒球场的对话戏排出二十格的分镜,让棒球练习与身份辩论同步推进;随后又以整页跨页展现朱布拉·普莱德的空中格斗,动作力度与构图都属教科书级别。配色师马修·威尔逊在开篇刻意收敛红色,直到马特登场才放手铺满画面,把这一“造型宣言”的冲击力推到顶点。对于长期读者,本期的价值在于看到韦德如何处理他全篇最核心的命题:一个受过太多伤的人,究竟能不能光明正大地活着。答案在此被高高抛起,然后落下。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 正在追马克·韦德《夜魔侠》全程连载的读者
  • 喜欢克里斯·萨姆尼动作分镜与角色设计的漫画迷
  • 想了解夜魔侠“公开身份”时期设定的读者
  • 习惯按单期追漫威连载、可接受短篇完结的老美漫读者

Not a good fit for

  • 只想读完整篇章故事、不愿看单期衔接的读者
  • 对超英漫画动作暴力场面敏感的读者
  • 完全没有夜魔侠背景、希望从第一期读起的入门者

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读第四卷第 11—13 期,本期多处情节直接承自前几期的自传线与旧金山风波。
  2. 留意开篇法庭戏与棒球场的分镜节奏,威尔逊对红色的克制使用是为最后造型揭晓服务的。
  3. 读完本期可接着读第 15 期,两者构成同一段“公开身份”转折的因果。
  4. 若习惯合订本阅读,本期收录于《Daredevil by Mark Waid》第 5 卷与《Daredevil: The Autobiography of Matt Murdock》合订本。

FAQ

这一期是整套第四卷吗?
不是。本条目对应的是《夜魔侠》第四卷(2014 年启动)的第 14 期单期故事,不是整卷合订本。该卷共 21 期,本期漫画传承编号为《夜魔侠》第 562 期。
第 14 期的编剧和画师是谁?
编剧为马克·韦德(Mark Waid),线稿与封面由克里斯·萨姆尼(Chris Samnee)负责,上色为马修·威尔逊(Matthew Wilson),由漫威漫画(Marvel Comics)于 2015 年 3 月 25 日发行。
夜魔侠在第 14 期换制服了吗?
是的。本期他放弃遮脸的面具,改穿红黑三件套西装,以公开身份活动,这一造型转变是本期最受关注的情节节点,也是他与出版商温德尔·麦克达菲对话后的直接决定。
朱布拉·普莱德是谁?
她是反派“猫头鹰”利兰·奥尔斯利的女儿,本期首次登场,正在寻找失踪的父亲,并与夜魔侠一同追查至恶魔岛;她身手矫健,是旧金山阶段新增的重要角色。
