I reeeeally don't want to look. B-B-But at the same time...it's Moon Knight! I'm torn.

 

[Energist]

As far as I can tell, the other Shadowland solicitations really don't spoil anything. The Moon Knight one, however, has a pretty big reveal in it as it relates to the event as a whole.

 

[Daredevil]

I dunno if I should get Shadowland or not. So many mixed reviews and so little money right now.

 

[mre]

Meh, unless I'm missing something huge, it doesn't seem that big a deal to me. Anyone who has read the latest Daredevil can conclude it's fairly obvious that Matt is not in control of his own mind.
This is nothing compared to when they revealed the image of DD killing Bullseye.

 

[Drz]

I don't think Bullseye is dead, i think he will be back in Shadowland's finale to fight Matt again. He can control his heart after all.

 

[venom892]

I guess we'll find out in the Shadowland:Bullseye one shot.

 

[kguillou]

I still think it would be a cool twist if Bullseye was dead but Matt decides to ressurect him through the Hand and therefore have Bullseye under his control. How interesting would that be?

 

[kguillou]

Hah! I was right! Check this out:

I assumed he'd been under control since around #505, but the Moon Knight solicitation reveals explicitly:

Spoiler

who/what is controlling him.

Again, not that that's a very surprising revelation in and of itself, either; a lot of people guessed that after #508. Nevertheless, it is a pretty big plot point to spoil in a solicitation, I think, so I thought some people might want a heads-up.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

is anybody else completely underwhelmed by Cassaday's work on these covers? he seems to have gotten incredibly lazy lately.

 

[Energist]

I dunno if I should get Shadowland or not. So many mixed reviews and so little money right now.

I'm getting it plus all the tie-ins, but I'm a total Daredevil mark. That said, the first issue of the main series was only so-so, in my opinion, but in my experience the first issue of most events is typically very by-the-numbers. After the last issue of Daredevil, though, I'm more than confident that Diggle's going to make it an enjoyable ride.

If nothing else, you should check out the main series in addition to Daredevil. It being a Daredevil-centric event, there's bound to be a ton of spillover between the two titles, and you wouldn't want to miss anything big, would you.

 

[Energist]

Totally agree. I think this is the first time I've been underwhelmed by Daredevil's cover art since Vol. 2 kicked off.

Someone over at CBR gave some info about those "New Man Without Fear" banners:

Just to describe them... they weren't super detailed. The left side of the image just said something like, "Who is the new man without fear?" and the right side had a picture of the hero in a dark, gritty, Daredevilish pose in urban environments.

 

[Drz]

So is Andy going to write about Ronin or the new Man of Fear? I is abit confused. Oh and thanks for the updates. <3

 

[Nightwing 52]

I don't think Diggle will mention the new Ronin (unless of course it is Matt) but if there's a new Daredevil running around I'm sure he will. We'll see I guess..We're only in almost in August and I already want to know what's going to happen dammit!

Just to go back to the talk of people who have been DD before or might be this time around, I remembered the other day that T'Challa used to be DD once upon a time. And not to mention his sister is currently holding his former title...

Hmm... Ok. Well that explains it then. I don't know who/what that is that the spoiler refers to.

I don't think Bullseye is dead, i think he will be back in Shadowland's finale to fight Matt again. He can control his heart after all.

OF COURSE! Good call!

 

[kguillou]

DD is gonna resurrect Bullseye and make him his slave. That is an absolutely awesome idea. Of course it wont last very long, Bullseye will break the spell somehow, but it'll be nice while it lasts.

 

[Drz]

Shadowland #2 preview!

 

[Nightwing 52]

Beat me to it, D.

Jake ****ing Lockley!

 

[Nightwing 52]

Someone managed to snap these at the Con:

Apparently T'Challa also had his own banner.

 

[NightBeetle]

Nova had his own banner too but I can't seem to find a leak picture of it..

 

[Daredevil]

Is that Kraven? What the heck wow

 

[Energist]

Right now, I'm guessing Matt might take a break from "Daredevil'ing" for a while after what he's been put through in Shadowland. Being "afraid" of what he became, he'll no longer be "The Man Without Fear," and in his absence other heroes, vigilantes, and even villains will try to fill the void/make a name for themselves in Hell's Kitchen.

I'm not at all worried about Matt's safety, however. I remember Diggle saying he was going to really concentrate on Matt's lawyer side in an upcoming storyline, and having Matt take a sabbatical from being Daredevil would definitely make room for that type of a story arc.
