It’s been nearly two years since Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, retired from crime with his wife Typhoid Mary andliterally sailed into the sunset, away from New York City, Hell’s Kitchen, and Daredevil. And in June’s Giant-Size Daredevil #1, he’ll finally cross paths with Matt Murdock again - but this time, he’ll have some hellish new powers to challenge the Man Without Fear.
That’s right, Kingpin is getting powers (again). But unlike in Devil’s Reign, when he was able to put the mind-controlling power of the Purple Man into a cane, Kingpin himself will be the vessel for the essence of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Along with being a well-known part of some denominations of Christian religious doctrine, the Seven Deadly Sins - as in real, demonic, physical entities - have beenbedeviling Matt Murdock in writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Aaron Kuder’s main Daredevil title, in which Matt is now living the life of a Catholic priest rather than an attorney.
The Giant-Size Daredevil one-shot, written by Ahmed with art from Paul Davidson, will take on the point of view of Fisk as he is possessed by the evil forces of the Seven Deadly Sins to stalk Daredevil through Hell’s Kitchen.
“I’ve always loved villain POV stories, and Wilson Fisk has the ultimate street level villain POV!” says Ahmed in a statement accompanying the announcement. “We went really big and bloody with this, bringing Kingpin back in a huge way, and I can’t wait for fans to check it out.”
