He will not be in every tie-in, although the writers have said his "presence will be felt." _________________ Andrew |

Something I find puzzling about Shadowland, even before it kicks off is this: Daredevil ordered the construction of Shadowland in response to the bombing of that housing complex, which was ordered by Norman Osborn. Following that, Daredevil has been leading the Hand in an effort to cleanse Hell's Kitchen of all remnants of H.A.M.M.E.R. But, now that Siege is over, Norman Osborn has been stripped of power, and H.A.M.M.E.R. appears to be a memory (although there still seems to be remnants of it in Black Widow #2). Steve Rogers appears to be the new leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. So, what the hell is Daredevil doing, and why is this Shadowland drama going to take up the rest of 2010? Isn't the problem that Daredevil was addressing with Shadowland already fixed? |

I thought Rogers was not re-instating S.H.I.E.L.D. He is the top cop and all, but all he has done is put a couple Avengers teams together. Is S.H.I.E.L.D. really functioning again? _________________ Andrew |

It would appear from the preview of 507 that Shadowland wasn't even Matt's idea, but an idea planted by the Hand. |

Very interesting. | About what? DD as a "villain", as he's being branded purely for hype, I'm sure? |

Even if DD killed Bullseye, it wouldn't be that big a deal, in my opinion. DD has often killed those who put innocents in danger, and what's actually surprising is how he's kept himself from NOT killing Bullseye until now.
I suspect that the teaser is just a ploy, and that DD will kill someone else, someone whose assassination at the hands of DD will have a much more shocking effect. |

This whole villain thing got me thinking. If Marvel was going to switch writers, this would be the perfect opportunity. Think about it: Bendis put him in jail, Bru made him leader of the Hand, Diggle makes him a villain. Obviously Matt would never be a true villain, but someone like Garth Ennis or Jason Aaron could work with that. |

I find it sad that a Daredevil fan can view Matt as someone who would allow himself the option to kill. Historically, that's a territory he would never allow himself to enter.
Yes, in #181 he dropped Bullseye from the guywire. But his first instinct was to save him, and Bullseye was not going to have that, and attempted to kill Daredevil, who then let go of him. I don't think Bullseye was giving him much of a choice.
Yes, in born again, he blew up a helicopter with the pilot inside. But the pilot was killing civilians, and Daredevil had got his hands on Nuke's weapon. He couldn't allow more civilians to die. He fired and immediately asked for forgiveness.
Those are the two instances I can think of from Volume 1. In Volume 2 before Diggle, I can't think of Daredevil killing anybody (although I did skip the second half of Bendis' run). With Diggle, Daredevil has led the slaughter / torture of H.A.M.M.E.R. agents. I now believe that his behaviour can be explained because he is under the control of the Hand.
But my point is that I have always looked at Daredevil as a hero with a very strong moral centre who doesn't allow himself to waver. Read "The Death of Jean De Wolfe." Read David Lapham's "Daredevil vs. Punisher." To that end, read any encounter between Daredevil and Punisher in Volume 1. He was the noblest of characters. I'm hoping one day he can get back to that. |

Whenever The Hand has resuscitated a Marvel character (the attempted resurrection of Elektra, the resurrection of Doctor Octopus, etc.) the aim has always been to control the character. It is indeed likely that since Matt's revival by The Hand in DD Volume #2 #80, he has slowly come under The Hand's influence. Matt has undoubtedly put up a valiant struggle psychologically and emotionally - but he is now succumbing.
I cannot recall the last time Matt had a so-called "thought balloon." Perhaps there is a reason for this. It is entrirely possible that Marvel does not want the readers to fully understand the inner conflict that has been brewing within the protagonist. |

And how is that different from what I said? I think it's pretty simple: you put civilian lives at risk while DD is around? Well, watch out, because it's highly likely that DD will kill you for that.
This is what is historically proven, more than "he would never allow himself to enter that territory". |

Kind of bummed to see that all the tie-in books will carry the $4 price tag. I was hoping they would be $3. |
