About this Issue

This issue is the first appearance of Morgan Whittier, the second character to bear the Muse mantle — a new, female incarnation of the Daredevil villain created by writer Erica Schultz and artist Valentina Pinti — making it a genuine origin-issue debut within an established villain legacy. It also represents the fullest expression of writer Schultz's multi-miniseries stewardship of Elektra Natchios as Daredevil, a character evolution that had been building across several consecutive limited series. As a Red Band release, it sits within a broader publishing-history moment in which Marvel formalized a new adults-only, polybagged format line — following its debut with Blood Hunt in 2024 — and this issue is among the earliest titles to exist exclusively within that framework rather than as an alternate edition of a standard book. The issue also dovetails with renewed reader and cultural interest in Muse as a character, given his concurrent appearance in the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.

History

Announced by Marvel in September 2024, the series was conceived as the third consecutive Elektra-as-Daredevil miniseries from writer Erica Schultz, following Daredevil: Gang War (2023–24) and Daredevil: Woman Without Fear (2024). Schultz was paired with artist Valentina Pinti — known for her work on Blade and Immortal Thor — along with interior contributions from José Luís, with Paulo Siqueira providing the main cover. The project was positioned explicitly as a Red Band title from the outset, meaning it launched polybagged with a Parental Advisory rating as a print-only release, not available digitally or on Marvel Unlimited, which is consistent with Marvel's stated policy for the Red Band line.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • First appearance of Morgan Whittier, the second Muse, a new female incarnation of the villain created by Erica Schultz and Valentina Pinti (per Wikipedia's Muse character entry and Marvel Fandom Wiki).
  • Written by Erica Schultz; interior art by Valentina Pinti and José Luís; main cover by Paulo Siqueira; released January 8, 2025 (cover-dated March 2025).
  • The original Muse first appeared in Daredevil vol. 5 #11 (September 2016), created by Charles Soule and Ron Garney; the original character died in Daredevil (2015) #600.
  • The issue establishes that after his death, the original Muse's spirit descended to Hell, where he encountered and began influencing Morgan Whittier — an artist — eventually guiding her to become the new Muse.
  • This is the third consecutive Elektra-focused Daredevil miniseries from Schultz, preceded by Daredevil: Gang War (2023–24) and Daredevil: Woman Without Fear (2024).
  • Published as part of Marvel's Red Band line — a polybagged, Parental Advisory-rated, print-only format introduced with Blood Hunt in 2024, sold exclusively through comic shops and not available digitally or on Marvel Unlimited.
  • The five-issue limited series was collected in a trade paperback (ISBN 978-1302964665); the series ran January–May 2025.
  • Featured characters include Elektra Natchios as Daredevil (protagonist), the new Muse (Morgan Whittier), and references to Matt Murdock, Blindspot, and Sam Chung — with Blindspot and Muse both carrying history from Charles Soule's earlier Daredevil run.
