When I first started reading the preview I got the impression that Shadowland is going to be another Civil War. Just a bunch of wham bam action with characters making big decisions that shape continuity forever, but without the proper impact to support what happens.
Whatever Shadowland does, at least Daredevil looks FREAKING SICK. |

Tom told me that he saw it on eBay for $150...
I've been asking retailers about it, and they don't seem to know anything about it... so it must be a very rare variant (1:150 perhaps?)
I doubt many stores are going to order 150 copies of Shadowland #1. _________________ Kuljit Mithra

Okay, if you really, really, really want the B&W cover, be prepared to pay a lot for it. I asked Marvel about the cover and they told me it's a special Marvel Retailer Resource Center exclusive variant. That means only stores who are part of that program with Marvel will get one, and who knows how many copies each store will get... in any case, it will ship in August to those select stores. _________________ Kuljit Mithra

You don't think the reason above others it sold it out as fast as it did is because of that "buy this many, get this many half off" deal?
Incidentallt, you don't have to spoil it, but what are your thoughts on the issue? |

***SPOILERS***
I read it. I reread #507 and I read Shadowland #1 again.
My main problem so far with Shadowland is the sharp plunge into evil Daredevil has taken since #507. When Bakuto was found dead in #507, Daredevil confronted White Tiger and the other three Daimyo about suspecting foul play. I realize that White Tiger (seemingly) convinced him not to look into it further, and the Daimyo took that as a victory, thinking they have successfully led him onto the Hand's path of evil, but the fact that he still stopped and questioned them signaled to me that the old Matt wasn't quite gone yet.
Cut to Shadowland #1. Daredevil seems to have just returned to New York. He has a new costume, which seems to be nothing more than a different colour scheme (so what's the point?). Power Man and Iron Fist ask him if he wants help, and he won't accept their help unless they swear allegiance to the Hand. Then the splash page at the end.
I do not feel that Diggle has done a sufficient job showing the eradication of Daredevil's morals by the Snakeroot. I think at least two more issues were necessary for us to find Matt this much under the Hand's thumb. I think Daredevil has demonstrated himself over his rich history to be a hero of tremendous will. Yes, he's been through a lot lately, but he's always been through a lot. If Daredevil was going to "surrender to the dark side" I would need to see the entire gradual process. I don't think Diggle has done that.
