Daredevil #512 and Shadowland: After the Fall
For what's worth, #512 predates After the Fall publication-wise, but chronologically they both happen during the same period of time. I think #512 works better after, so I'm posting it second. Four pages from each issue.
After the Fall is written by Antony Johnson and illustrated by Roberto La Torre and Marco Checchetto. (My selection is from Marco) It's basically narrated by Ben Urich who, along with everyone else, is looking for Matt who disappeared after the events of Shadowland. He finds a tape left for him by Murdock.
Urich tells Elektra that people deserve to know the truth, but she says that Matt should be able to heal and that the people are better off not knowing what happened.
Later, Urich meets up with Foggy. The two discuss Matt (Urich doesn't mention the tape) and the current state of Hell's Kitchen is brought up. Urich thinks that it's improved.
Urich thinks to himself that perhaps everyone could learn from Foggy's optimism, and that as the sun rises on Hell's Kitchen, "maybe we should all learn to live without fear".
In Daredevil #512 (by Andy Diggle and Antony Johnston, with art from Checchetto.
The Kingpin berates the Hand, telling them that thanks to their alliance with Daredevil, they now lie broken and without leadership...
Meanwhile, there are sightings of Daredevil throughout the city. Luke Cage and Iron Fist search for him, but it turns out to be someone else...
Finally, at the end of the issue...

Like manrain said, he was a swashbuckler back before Miller came onto the book and started noir-ing the shit out of it. The last big "swashbuckle" thing was Daredevil: Yellow, by Loeb/Sale, and even that has a touch it, because the whole premise is Matt writing about Karen Page after she died, with him flashing back to the past.
Well, it's not out of the blue
DeMatteis wrote a story where Matt decides to commit suicide by jumping to his death. He changes his mind on the way down..but he still made that decision.
Kevin Smith wrote a story where Matt puts a loaded gun to his head. Only a memory of Karen stops him
In the end of Shadowland, Matt spiritually/psychically/whatever stabs himself. Foggy doing CPR and Iron Fist seemed convinced it had physical results.
On the other hand, he has this wierd metaphoric power to come back to life, Jesus-style, just like he did here. It's never been pushed to the point of Wolverine type power, always very subtle and maybe didn't happen, but Miller did give Stick and his evil opposites, the Hand, the ability to resurrect people.
