Article Summary

  • Nyla Skin returns in Daredevil #20 with a multidimensional twist by Saladin Ahmed and Jose Luis Soares.
  • Matt Murdock's old suit and old flame bring unexpected romance and intrigue to Hell's Kitchen.
  • Surprises unfold as Daredevil crosses paths with a now-thieving, dimension-hopping Nyla Skin.
  • Amidst new threats, Matt finds solace in love as a dangerous enemy looms over Daredevil #20.

Created by Ann Nocenti and Lee Weeks for Daredevil #285 back in 1990, Nyla Skin was a homeless, partially deaf young woman who burgled houses to survive, and who befriended Matt Murdock, during a period in which he was suffering amnesia and was going by the name "Jack", and invited him burgling with her. She was kidnapped by Bullseye impersonating Daredevil for the Kingpin. Daredevil rescued her but left her behind to keep her out of danger.

Which, considering her next appearance was robbing a bank truck with Conan The Barbarian thirty years later in 2020 by Saladin Ahmed and Luke Ross, pursuing helicopters, being teleported to Wakanda, then to Atlantis, where she learnt to breathe underwater, fighting gods and goddesses, and Mephisto himself, I'm not sure that worked out… but that was the last we heard of her.

But now she's back. And how. Saladin Ahmed has brought her along with him from Conan to Daredevil. And left little to the imagination.
