Kingpin is back as the physical embodiment of the seven deadly sins to reclaim his place as Daredevil's arch-enemy

It's been nearly two years since Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, retired from crime with his wife Typhoid Mary and literally 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.

He’s on the hunt: One of Daredevil’s deadliest and most dangerous foes, empowered by forces unknown even to himself, prepares for the kill," reads Marvel's official description of Giant-Size Daredevil #1. "Yes, none other than Kingpin, stalking the streets of Manhattan by night. And no matter the speed with which Daredevil moves…there will be blood."

Kingpin hasn't been totally absent from Marvel Comics since his "retirement" from crime in April, 2022. He and his wife Typhoid Mary (herself a mutant) surfaced on the mutant island of Krakoa at the 2023 Hellfire Gala, and have been active in the mutant resistance as part of the current Fall of X storyline that's about to lead to a new X-Men relaunch. He also chose not to take up arms in the recent Gang War crossover that put
