Daredevil: Shadowland Vol. 2

This volume is the second book of the Chinese comic collection tied to the Marvel event Shadowland. The whole Shadowland story revolves around the entanglement between Daredevil, Matt Murdock, and the mysterious ninja organization the Hand: Daredevil and the Hand have long been mortal enemies, but this time the Hand invites him to join and lead them. Matt accepts on the grounds of 'guiding the organization back to the right path from within,' but things do not go the way he hopes. New York's street heroes find Daredevil acting ever more hardline and ruthless; Hell's Kitchen is sealed off and tensions mount, and those close to him — Foggy Nelson, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Elektra, Misty Knight — come to stand against him one after another. Around the Hand's expansion, street crime, and the split among heroes, the city sinks into a war without gunfire. The Shadowland tie-ins fill out the main story from different perspectives. In the Blood on the Streets thread, for example, four street operatives of very different styles — Silver Sable, Paladin, Misty Knight, and the Shroud — begin from cases they are each investigating and discover that someone is killing mob figures in the Hand's name and framing others, forcing them to set aside their grudges and join forces to find the truth; other tie-ins follow characters such as Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Elektra, and Spider-Man, showing their situations and choices during the event. These stories interweave with the main line, making the world of Shadowland more three-dimensional and the characters' struggles between good and evil more credible. This is volume 2 of the series; the exact contents and chapter arrangement are subject to the physical table of contents, as the actual contents of the Chinese edition's volumes cannot currently be verified, and the above is an introduction to the overall background of Shadowland.
