Wow! Great artwork! Shadowland has been great thus far and I can't believe [BLACKOUT]Kingpin sent Ghost Rider after DD. Also I'm loving The real Avengers threat about DD. "It would be unwise."[/BLACKOUT]
Just great to have a Marvel event without Bendis having his grubby hands in it.....thus far anyway.

Where did you read that?

 

[venom892]

Just got Shadowland #2.Man was that an awesome issue!Midnyte Sun let's just say your going to need this book in your collection.

 

[bryanss3]

is it just me or are the DD Shadowland issues better written that Shadowland itself. Not saying Shadowland is bad so far but i feel far more invested in DD than the mini.

 

[mre]

I agree with you bryanss3. The Daredevil issues are way better. I am not really liking the Shadowland issues outside of Daredevil. Something is off about them.

 

[Project862006]

ok guys i want to get into DD where should i start i hear brubaker's run is damn good where does his series start - Inside & Out?

and is it a good series to start picking up

 

[mre]

Start with Vol. 2 issue #26 where Bendis started writing regularly all the way up to now. From Bendis to Brubaker to Diggle, it's a fantastic ride.
If you really want to though, start 25 issues earlier with vol. 2 issue #1, "Guardian Devil" storyline, up to current.
Either way, you will not regret it. I read Guardian Devil, and then jumped to Bendis' run though.

 

[Project862006]

oh damn i ordered issues 82 - 105 brubkers stuff

will try to get bendis stuff some how lol

 

[mre]

Yeah, Bendis' stuff is just as good as Brubakers. And set's up Brubakers run as well. So I would read Bendis' stuff first

 

[Daredevil]

What is everyones favorite DD story? Mine is Blind Alley.

Heck, all of Frank Miller Visionaries Vol 1 is EXTREMELY good.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I've only read the first arc of vol. 2 and then jumped to Bendis's run to current, so I don't have a huge reference. But of that, I'd have to say I enjoyed the whole Mr. Fear arc the most from Brubaker's run.

My single favorite DD issue was #181. Yeah it's pretty common, but I remember reading it as a kid and being totally blown away. All I could think after reading that (and not having much exposure to DD to that point) was how it read like it could have been the last ever issue of DD ever and it would've been the greatest ending ever.

Another issue that blew me away was #191 called "Roulette", when DD was playing Russian roulette with a paralyzed Bullseye in his hospital room. The ending line was incredible. "Guess we're stuck with each other, Bullseye".

It was such a mindf**k when you think about it. The whole issue was DD talking to Bullseye in a voice over in DD's head. Imagine what Bullseye must have been thinking, trapped in a hospital bed while your nemesis says nothing, pointing a gun at your head and his own, pulling the trigger each time. HARDCORE STUFF.

 

[kguillou]

That was def a CLASSIC issue. Bullseye musta been like "this mofo is crazy!". My personal favorite issue was the Bendis story where DD lost it and carved a bullseye into Bullseye's forehead with a jagged rock. That scene was so brutal and it was a culmination of all the frustration and anger Matt had been keeping inside during the whole unmasking fiasco. Plus Bullseye's had it comin for long long time and it was nice to see DD dish out some cold justice.

DD's monthly is getting canceled with #512.....


http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=27942

The last bit of solicitation news we'll hit is the fact that "Daredevil" is solicited as the final issue, which took a lot of people by surprise. Last week, we talked about how when creatively things weren't lining up, Thor went on what became a kind of needed break. With these teasers coming for a new "Man Without Fear" are we to expect that Daredevil will be taking a similar turn off the pages of comics for a while?

Brevoort: I should never be surprised by the reactions our audience at this point, and yet time and again, week in and week out, they surprise me. We've been promoting "Who is the new Man Without Fear?" for something like three weeks now, and yet everybody is surprised that "Daredevil" is ending. One pretty clearly follows the other, so I was sort of taken aback by the response to the solicits being, "Oh my gosh! 'Daredevil' is ending!" What did you expect was going to happen when we asked who the new Man Without Fear would be?
Obviously, I can't get into the story mechanics behind any of this, but it's all an outgrowth of "Shadowland" and its finale. We absolutely could be looking at a situation where, as with Thor, there is no Daredevil series for a while, but there is somebody else in an equivalent role. That's hardly earth-shattering, and in fact, taking a character like Daredevil off the canvas for a little while may make the heart grow fonder due to absence more so than just having him around doing his thing and being overlooked because he's always been there. It certainly did with Thor.
On top of that, whenever we do one of these event stories we like to have them result in change. We like for them to "matter", as Axel was saying earlier. So clearly the world of Daredevil and Hell's Kitchen and all the street-level heroes and their titles is going to be impacted in a major way by the end of "Shadowland." The fact that "Daredevil" is ending is one of the effects of that but not the only one.

Well, I've got to say, Tom. I think the thing that made this move really shocking was that you just made the move to renumber at issue #500.

Brevoort: That was 12 issues ago! It's been a whole year! [Laughter] I cancelled "Avengers" three issues after reverting its numbering to #500. And it's not like if we brought the title back, you couldn't bring it back at #513. It's not as though those issues go away.



Brevoort is a giant *****e. I swear both he and Quesada are like the James Dolan/Isiah Thomas of Marvel Comics.

 

[kguillou]

I like Brevoort a lot less than i like Quesada. Brevoort always comes off as this standoffish "i know better than you" *****e. When Spectacular Spiderman was canceled, he pretty much called all of Spectacular's fans a bunch crybabies and told us to get over it. Quesada seems much more easy going than him.

Anyway, i call BS on DD being canceled. Thor was in a completely different situation than DD is now. Thor was cancelled because NO one was reading Thor and there was no interest for the character (No offense to Thor fans). DD has had a much larger following in this past decade and altho his book isn't a top seller, he has a strong core fanbase. Plus DD is probably the only marvel character that has had consistently exceptional runs back to back. If anything at all, we may not get a DD book for a month or two, but he'll be back by January no doubt.

 

[Drz]

I wonder are we getting Bendis' Daredevil: The End story now?

 

[runawayboulder]

I personally hate how they need to play the numbers since those 2 jerk-off's took over. They constantly bounce back and forth between #1's and #500's. Just let the comic run normally. I have a lot of respect for DC not screwing with the numbers for Batman, Detective Comics and Action Comics.

 

[TimBisley]

Its really hard to mess with Action Comics and Detective Comics, they have been around almost 1000 issues.

 

[Docker2.0]

Where did you read that?

In Shadowland.

What are you talking about Brevoort? "Who is the new Man Without Fear" was asked before when Iron Fist took up the DD costume while Matt was in prison, and Daredevil wasn't cancelled.
Also, "Who is the new Spider-Man" was asked when Mattie Franklin took over as Spider-Man without the book being cancelled...
So... Maybe you can understand our shock now?

 

[imdaly]

Welllllll...in THIS case you might not have much to stand on. "Who is the new Spider-Man" was used to relaunch ASM with a new #1 after the "last issue" of ASM just the month before it.

 

[Daredevil]

I am going to read Daredevil #1-#500 by the end of the year that is my goal. Ambitious, no?

 

[kguillou]

Bah, you can do it in a week if you wanted to.

 

[Daredevil]

Am I the only one that never really liked DD's first yellow costume... I dont know but I didnt find it as awesome and intimidating as his red one.

You mean D-Man's costume?
