You won't be sorry dude, DD is arguably marvel's most consistent character. He hasn't had a bad story since the 90's.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Thanks, Lone Wolf, and likewise. I actually had a bigger, badder version all ready to go for when I hit 300-posts, but then I realized my restraints were more limited until 1,000-posts. Still, what I ended up with is a lot better than nothing, I think.

Thanks again.

You'll get to those 1,000 posts eventually. t:

So I jumped on the DD bandwagon by accident. I meant to order black panther but somehow I've been getting Daredevil... I don't mind. I don't mind one bit

Welcome aboard, call it a blessing in disguise.

HeroesCon: Marvel enters the Shadowland

Also, Diggle posted some interior art via Twitpic in what appears to be DD in his new suit with White Tiger.

Anyone pick up #507? Thought it was pretty good and a nice way to close up the arc for the next big step for DD in Shadowland.

Also, Johnston confirmed that the only two main books to read during the whole thing are DD and the Shadowland mini. That you don't need all the tie-ins to understand the story - the two listed will be easy reads in knowing what's going on. So that's a huge relief on my wallet. t:

 

[kguillou]

So someone spoil me please. Is White Tiger really working against DD?

[venom892]

I hope that's just misdirection.Matt has stared into the Abyss too often and survived to succumb now.

 

[kguillou]

The birth of Marvel's greatest villain

Oh puh-lease, who does marvel think they're fooling? They're gonna turn one of their most beloved characters into a villain and suffer a fan outrage of epic proportions? Yeah right. This is just pure marketing, Marvel aint that dumb.

 

[mre]

It's almost crazy enough to work.

 

[Harlekin]

He'll be all right at the end of it.

 

[Drz]

Good night sweet prince.

Honestly Bullseye can't die with all these promotions for his death. I smell a fake death!

 

[Nightwing 52]

Whoa! I'm digging that teaser. Again paying homage to some classic DD goodness. I'm intrigued as to where they're going with Bullseye. Part of me hopes he doesn't bite it.

 

[Drz]

I pre-ordered my Bendis DD Ultimate Collection volume 1 by the way. Since the Omnibuses are impossible to get, getting 3 Ultimate Collections instead of 2 Omnibuses is a fair trade imo.

 

[runawayboulder]

Good night sweet prince.

Spoiler

So long Bullseye! I wanted him to get killed in SIEGE, but it's only right that he dies in DD.

 

[kguillou]

Oh come on, now they're blatantly showing us Matt killing Bulleseye.Wtf man. Either Marvel is seriously blowing their load and can't wait for Shadowland #1 to come out or this is some kind of fake out death. Alluding to something happening is one thing but blatantly showing it 2 months before the issue comes out?

So uh....is Frank Castle human again or did Cassaday not get the memo? lol

 

[runawayboulder]

The solits for Sept have Franken-Castle coming to an end and Shadowland was in the works for months, so I guess Quesada gave it the axe a while ago.

[JewishHobbit]

What's up with this Johnston writer? I just got caught up with Daredevil and thought this was the Diggle era, but there's Johnston writing the Daredevil comics portion of Shadowland, and I saw that his name was in the previous arc. So is he and Diggle co-writers now? Is this ongoing?

 

[venom892]

Shadowland proved to take up a lot of Diggle's time so they bought on Johnston to help out during the event.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Hmm, then I wonder why they didn't just have Shadowland be an arc in Daredevil, or halt Daredevil like they did Nova and Guardians for Thanos Imperative? Oh well, I'm not complaining. With two differant writers on the two main books I hope it flows okay.
