YES! Spidey and Daredevil. Count me in man, i've been waiting for these guys to reunite for years.

 

[Blader5489]

Sounds awesome. These summertime issues make having to sit through the introductory months a lot more bearable.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesome! Spidey and Daredevil teaming up is going to be so fantastic!

 

[spider greg]

Wow! They all sound good.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Hope we get some established villains in Classified's army.

 

[Blader5489]

Hope we get some established villains in Classified's army.

I remember one of the writers saying that they'd be using some older villains starting this summer. So it's a definite possibility.

Yeah, and the Enforcers are included I think.

 

[kguillou]

He was shot in the head by Underworld who used adamantium bullets, iirc., but he's been "killed" several times before in the comics...we'll see if they bother to mention that story at all, or if they just wait until the fans call them out on it and explain it away with that convienient "Joe Q Retcon" they came up with...

So Hammerhead, known for his indestructible skull, was shot in the head...and you're surprised he's still alive?

I must get this, too!

Nothing surprises me at Marvel anymore.

Regardless; the last time i checked, adamantium was a much harder metal than steel alloy. Especially when projected from a high caliber firearm.

 

[Venom 1988]

He was shot in the head with adamantium bullets, the same thing his head is made out of....so I'm pretty sure the bullets could kill him

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

i think his skull was reinforced with SECONDARY adamantium, which is far less durable.

 

[Venom 1988]

Well then there you go

 

[Donald Thomas]

Aloha,
Which means that by the time it actually penetrated his skull the bullet was next to harmless.There, dosen't that make comic book sense?.

[Finlandman]

They did all that trouble to get Peter's cat in bag again, and now this Classified get's to know it?! I'll scream if Classified get's an amnesia at the end of the story.

 

[kguillou]

I hope "Classified" isnt the actual name of the villain.

 

[Blader5489]

Doesn't mean that nobody can ever learn Spidey's identity ever again.

 

[WolfCypher]

Great, another new villain. I was hoping one good thing we'd get outta BND was the return of classic Spider-Man villains, like what Sensation and Friendly Neighborhood gave us before this "brilliant" idea of cancelling those two titles in favor of "new villain 3x Month = ASM".

Aloha,
I counted 18 new villians in the first 25 issues of Amazing Spider-Man v.1. Approximately 12 new villians in the first 25 issues of Amazing Spider-Man v.2.For all intents and purposes BND is v.3 and according to Breevorts Bibile (see Swing Shift Directors Cut),http://www.donaldspidermanthomas.com/html/library_limited_page5.html the plan is to introduce NEW villians and supporting cast members within the first year of BND. Glad to see both Wolverine and soon DD in the mix. If they ever meet Peter Parker, they'll know who he is(again).

Aloha,
Sounds like Norman Osborn syndrome to me.

564 sounds good, I enjoy hearing different perspectives in a story especially when they include the villians'. 565, 566? Yeah, less so. There'll be no getting excited about Pete's identity getting out in the near future. It's good they're using daredevil again, unlike wolverine, he makes sense for pete to be around. NA terrifies me as bendis can't write 616 Pete as anything other than a punch line, a sidekick to luke cage, or a ninja beat up dummy.

Hammerhead definately died from underworld, but I'm guessing they're just not going to mention it.

I'll venture a guess and say the villian is Black Trantula, since he's pretty big in DD right now. I hope they explain why he's completely changed.
