1999 NEWS

The Corona Coming Attractions site is reporting through an anonymous tipper that Steve Norrington, the director of Blade, is currently in talks to direct Daredevil. The site is also reporting that a writer named Carl Baker is writing the screenplay. This info is still rumour for now.

If you're looking to see how the art for DD9 and DD11 were created, check out Ron Wm. McElman's NohTV.com website, which provides a fantastic overview of David Mack's work. He has preliminary sketches of the covers and more. The scans are in the ACTION section.

Check out Alan David Doane's site for a new interview with the Marvel Knights guys. The site is here.

Watch for some appearances by creators David Mack and Brian Michael Bendis in Daredevil #10 when it ships. Bendis mentioned this on his web site message board.

The latest issue of Wizard has plenty of news about DD...
* Wizard has confirmed that David Mack's issues will run to #14, and there will be a 3-issue fill-in before Bob Gale starts with #18
* Bob Gale's story will feature DD getting sued, with Matt Murdock defending him
* Joe Quesada has said that a batch of old villains will appear in Gale's run. One of those villains will be the Matador!
* And Wizard has said there is a rumour of a second monthly Daredevil comic in 2000...

Diamond has updated its shipping lists, and the way it looks right now... DD#10 will not ship this year. Your guess is as good as mine.

The latest Diamond shipping list is out, and DD#10 is not listed for this week or the week of December 22.

On the NextPlanetOver message boards, David Mack had this to say about DD:

"Speaking of DD, after this current 6 issue series, I have set some time aside (before the start of the next Kabuki storyline) to paint a 3 issue story in DD directly following my 6 issue run. This will be really fun."

Paul Jenkins had this to say about the upcoming DD/Spidey limited series, from NEWSARAMA:

"[It's] 'mostly humorous'... It's a sort of crime/mystery that goes bananas in a big way with the last issue, and we're going to try and bring back some villains that have previously been very goofy in an attempt to make them less goofy."

Garth Ennis, in an interview with Matt Brady at the Mania site, had this to say about DD's upcoming appearance in the new Punisher series.

"Daredevil is the one exception to the no costumed heroes rule I'm sticking to with the Punisher," Ennis says [to Matt Brady]. "I'm putting him in issue #3 because it's become traditional that he should show up, and he and Frank [Castle] should have their little debate followed by their showdown with sickening, mind-wrenching violence. I basically wanted to do my particular twist on the Daredevil/Punisher relationship. While he's no less a superhero and a costumed crimefighter than any of the others, he is one that I know a little more about simply by virtue that I've read the Frank Miller issues. Most comics readers who don't care for superheroes but read the greats like Frank Miller will probably have read those Daredevil issues - his original run and the Kingpin/Nuke storyline. "I just had to put my two pence worth in on that. Apart from Daredevil, no super-heroes."

There's a reprint out now of Doctor Doom stories from the FF, and DD is featured in it. The stories are FF 39 and 40.

Okay, this news segment only applies to those DD fans who must get *every* appearance of DD, no matter how small. This is for those guys who must get every issue where someone even mentions DD's name or is thinking about him in a flashback. Anyway, in this week's Ant-Man special, there is a Christmas card hanging on the Avengers' wall from Murdock Nelson and Associates, based out of San Fransisco. The issue is $5.95 US! so consider how much you really want this 'non-appearance'. Oh yes, the Black Widow shows up in one panel too.

You can add another alternate reality appearance of DD to the growing list. Murdock the Blind, who last appeared in the Timeslip: The Coming of the Avengers special, makes a small appearance in the last issue of Avengers Forever. The Earth-X DD made an appearance in the previous issue #11.

For those of you who collect Darkdevil appearances, he shows up in Spider-Girl #17, along with Kaine and the Kingpin. Foggy Nelson even makes an appearance, and we get more details into who Darkdevil really is.

Entertainment Weekly has written that Sony has already registered the site for the Daredevil movie. Apparently the site will be located at www.daredevilthefilm.com.

Here's the result of an Internic search:

The Psycomic site is reporting that Paul Jenkins will be writing a mini-series with DD and Spidey that will probably be out next summer. Phil Winslade, who did the Ant-Man Christmas Special will do the art.

Fans of Bullseye should check out this week's Deadpool #36, where he makes another guest appearance.

The Comic Vault at http://www.ryaninteractive.com/comicvault has picked Daredevil 171 as their comic pick of the week. Michael Ryan reviews the issue during Frank Miller's original run.

November 1999

Kevin Hall's mailing list for Gene Colan at Onelist had an Essential Gene Colan poll this month. The results were taken from members of the list. They were asked their favourites of all the Gene Colan work out there. DD did well in voting. Among the honours were:
* Favourite Single Story (Daredevil #47)
* Favourite Ongoing Series
* Favourite Main Character
* Favourite Supporting Character (#1 - Foggy, #2 - Black Widow)
* Favourite Villain (#3 - Jester)
* Favourite Collaborator - Writer (#1 - Marv Wolfman, #3 - Stan Lee)
* Favourite Collaborator - Inker (#1 - Tom Palmer, #2 - Syd Shores, #3 - Dan Adkins

Fans of Gene Colan can join the list through Onelist, or go to Gene Colan's website at www.genecolan.com.

There's a new Cybercomic on the Marvel site starring Spider-Man and Howard the Duck. Several characters make very small (and I mean really small) cameos during this comic. DD makes a split second appearance, for all you DD appearance hunters out there.

For you 'DD' collectors, Earth X DD makes a small appearance in this week's Earth X #10 issue.

Wizard Magazine has decided to do another DD Casting Call, but this time with the Marvel Knights guys choosing the roles. Their choices were:
* Matt Damon as DD/Matt Murdock
* Oliver Platt as Foggy Nelson
* Robin Wright as Karen Page
* Sigourney Weaver as Razor Sharpe
* Jose Quesada (Joe's Dad) as The Priest
* Anne Bancroft as Sister Maggie
* Angelina Jolie as Black Widow
* Harley Quinn Smith (Kevin's daughter) as Karen (the baby)
* Mike Starr as Mr. Gabriel
* Alec Baldwin as Bullseye
* Robert De Niro as Kingpin
* Kevin Spacey as Mysterio
* And Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Smith doing the movie
When I get some time, I'll scan in all these photos for the movie section.

According to Michael Fleming of Variety, the Daredevil movie is now going to be made at Sony. Here's the article:

Sony dares to buy Marvel's Daredevil series

SONY EYES DAREDEVIL: Sony Pictures Entertainment is near a deal to acquire rights to turn the Marvel Comics fixture Daredevil into a live-action feature. The deal comes after Sony fast-tracked Spider-Man and earlier this year acquired Dr. Strange (Daily Variety, July 13) for screen treatment. Daredevil is considered one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel arsenal. Sony hopes to fast-track the story of how a blind lawyer becomes a superhero by overcoming his handicap using the heightened perception of his other senses.

Much like Spider-Man, which once had James Cameron ready to direct, Daredevil has its share of big names poised to make the film at Fox. Chris Columbus was set to write and direct, then passed it to Carlo Carlei when Columbus made a deal to do yet another Marvel staple, Fantastic Four.

Fox has Fantastic Four, the summer 2000 Bryan Singer-directed tentpole X-Men and Silver Surfer in development. Each is a big-budget special effects-heavy summer pic possibility, and Marvel decided to spread the superhero wealth around town. Impressed by Sony's quick progress on Spider-Man after years of legal entanglements, Marvel Enterprises prexy Avi Arad made the deal there. He'll exec produce, with Col's Matt Tolmach steering the project.

Check out this link from yesterday's National Post which features Kevin Smith. He talks about his recent stint on DD and why he doesn't understand fans who are so upset with Karen's death.

10/11 - [www.manwithoutfear.com is launched!]

As most of you saw this past week, my site has been down and there have been many problems with server performance. I decided to remedy it by moving my site completely from Interlog and hosting it somewhere else. So, I hope you guys like the new easier to remember domain name and hopefully the transition didn't break too much. :)

09/11 - [Isabella and Newell on Daredevil in March]

Former DD writer Tony Isabella has said in his Tony's Online Tips column that he is working on a special DD project with Eddy Newell that will be probably be released in March 2000. It's not known if they are the 'mystery fill-in team' or this is another project for DD altogether.

After weeks of delays, DD #9 appears on the shipping list for November 3. Also, Batman/DD ships that day too. Gambit #11 ships this week.

23/10 - [Fill-in issues of DD]

Joe Quesada sent a message to the DD mailing list and said that they are considering letting some creators do fill-in issues of DD, but do not want to announce the creators until something official is set in stone. Could the rumoured Brian Michael Bendis of _Jinx_ fame be involved? Or does this have anything to do with what David Mack posted below??

21/10 - [More DD from Mack?]

David Mack has been answering questions on the NextPlanetOver site, and here's a little excerpt from one of his postings:

"There have been some recent developments that will make you happy. I'm going to wait until Jimmy and Joe break the news. Suffice it to say that the six DD issues that I write, will not mark the end of my DD involvement."

20/10 - [No DD in January 2000 Previews]

Daredevil is not listed among titles shipping from Marvel in January 2000. This could be a move to not solicit issues until DD has fixed its delays problem.

20/10 - [DD in Wolverine Wizard Special]

18/10 - [DD #9 where are you?]

I know it's a broken record, but here's the latest...
DD#9 was supposed to ship September 29th.
It has still not appeared on Diamond's shipping list and it doesn't look like it will appear in October either, since the listing for October 20th or 27th doesn't show it.

13/10 - [The mystery of Mysterio]

DD fans should check out a 'non-appearance' of DD in Amazing Spider-Man #12, out Wednesday. There's a long 'explanation' of Mysterio's recent dealings with DD, along with a flashback sequence.

06/10 - [Marvel Monopoly]

The new Marvel edition of Monopoly does not have DD as one of the game pieces, but does have a 'property' of Daredevil 189 that is the first space after 'GO'. I'm not sure if DD is featured on any of the game cards.

05/10 - [Shipping update]

29/09 - [Bullseye and Elektra figures ship]

The Previews exclusive Marvel's Greatest Moments figures of Bullseye and Elektra shipped today. You may want to be selective of which package you get, because some of the figures I saw had Elektra looking cross-eyed.

28/09 - [DD 9 and TPB update]

DD#9 was supposed to come out September 29th, but it appears it won't be shipping until October 13th (at the earliest). The TPB doesn't have a set ship date either. More details as I find out when these comics will ship.

24/09 - [Bullseye & Kingpin in Deadpool 34]

Fans of Bullseye or Kingpin will want to check out a story from Deadpool's past in the latest issue #34 by new writer Christopher Priest. DP and Bullseye fight over who should be Kingpin's assassin.

We still haven't seen the results of this bout from the Contest of Champions series yet, but at the Marvel site you can vote again for DD in the Marvel Melee. Check out the Marvel site at www.marvel.com.

21/09 - [Shipping update]

Diamond is not listing the Daredevil Visionaries TPB among the comics shipping this week. This TPB reprints the Guardian Devil storyline from issues #1-8. Also, it appears DD#9 is not shipping next week too. It isn't listed for next week's releases. That list may be updated, so I'll keep an eye out on that if there are any changes.

21/09 - [Message Board and Want Ads back online]

Due to a server misconfiguration, the message board and want ads were unavailable for about a week. Thanks to everyone who waited patiently for me to deal with my ISP to fix the problem. Both sections should be working fine now.

17/09 - [Message Board and Want Ads downtime]

My ISP has changed some server settings, and essentially have made the message board and want ads sections not function correctly. I hope to have these sections back up soon.

17/09 - [Quesada's Quickies]

Check out this address for a preview of Daredevil #9, page 5, from the Quesada's Quickies section of the Marvel site.

13/09 - [Downtime for message board]

Due to some server changes on September 15th, the message board and other sections of the site will be unable to function correctly. This is only supposed to be from 0001-1201 that day, so hopefully full functionality will return once my ISP does its changes.

12/09 - [You can interview Quesada and Palmiotti]

Charles T. Glover, the editor of The Comic Zone! E-Magazine has informed me that he will be accepting questions on their website for an interview with Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti. He will take the best questions from the submissions and send them off to the Event Comics guys. If you want to submit a question, check out the website at this address.

09/09 - [Recent appearances]

Here are some comics you may want to check out for DD appearances. Spider-Man Chapter One #12 had a few panels of a yellow costumed DD. This week's Contest of Champions #3 has a one panel fight between DD and Firestar. And Spider-Girl #14 has Darkdevil guest-starring. I think DD also appeared in a recent issue of FF too, but I can't seem to get my hands on an issue around here.

08/09 - [DD 1/2 and figure]

The Toyfare DD figure is in comics stores, but is selling for an inflated price. I have no idea when Wizard will be shipping it to people who sent in the coupon. And in addition, the DD #1/2 is in stores too, and there are reports some people have received it in the mail.

06/09 - [I'm Back!]

As most of you know, I was away for over 3 weeks, so I haven't been checking e-mail and the like, so I'll be busy trying to get back up to speed with the site. Thanks to everyone who sent congratulatory messages. I (and my wife) appreciate it. So, what did I miss?

10/08 - [Shipping update]

The long delayed DD#8 is not listed for this week, nor next week on the Diamond Distributors' shipping lists. More than likely, it will come out August 25th, to make it consistent with Daredevil #9's scheduled ship date of Sept. 29th. In other DD news, the Daredevil and Elektra Battlebooks, which were supposed to come out in April of this year, have both been canceled and (maybe) they'll be resolicited at a later date. It appears close to 20 different Battlebooks orders were canceled.

09/08 - [Marvel Knights in San Diego]

03/08 - [Server failure]

22/07 - [More on Marvel novels situation]

Keith R. A. DeCandido, freelance editor at Byron Preiss, had this to say in response to a query about the Marvel novels situation in the Marvel newsgroup:

Warren [Ellis] did not lie -- beyond that, I really can't say much as everything is up in the air (and in the hands of folks with law degrees, mostly), but basically the Marvel novels are on hold until the present dispute between Marvel and BP Books is resolved.

Sadly, this means that the third book in the GAMMA QUEST trilogy is on hold.

As soon as I know something a bit more concrete, I will let folks hereabouts know, but I'm just a freelancer in all this -- I haven't been on the salaried staff of BP in over a year, and haven't been actually running the novels program since October.

21/07 - [DD will guest-star in Gambit series]

Watch for Gambit #11 in October which will feature DD, along with the villain Constrictor, and maybe even Wolverine. By Fabian Nicieza, Steve Skroce and Rob Hunter.

20/07 - [Warren Ellis DD novel]

As most of you know, Warren Ellis was writing a DD novel that was expected to ship in summer 2000. Well... here's what he had to say on the newsgroups about it:

"I've just been informed that the Marvel Books program has been frozen following some kind of difficulty between Marvel and Byron Preiss books. The odds seem fair to middling that the Daredevil novel won't actually happen at all...I'm waiting on further developments, but right now, it's down-tools..."

19/07 - [More news on Marvel Knights]

Check out the Mania site for an article on what was revealed at the Wizard Comic Con at this address. Apparently DD #1/2, offered by Wizard, will show just how Mysterio learned so much about Daredevil from the Kingpin.

08/07 - [More Marvel Knights news]

The Comic Book Continuum site (http://detnews.com/comicbooks/) talked with Jimmy Palmiotti recently, and he let them know some info on upcoming DD related projects. Palmiotti says there will be a new Black Widow mini-series next year, which will feature both Widows as well as Daredevil. To celebrate DD's 35th anniversary (which is really this year...), there will be a number of one-shots and maybe even a crossover with another comics company (not Event). He also says that Jae Lee *may* be involved with a DD project too.

06/07 - [Ant-Man, Quesada's Quickies and more]

Your Man At Marvel has provided more details about Bob Gale's new Marvel Knights Christmas Special. The star of the special will be Ant-Man. Phil Winslade will do the artwork. You may also want to check out Quesada's Quickies (in the Marvel to the Minute section) for DD#8 Page 10. A certain Marvel hero will make a guest appearance.

Here's a quote from David Mack, taken from the Comic Buyer's Guide:

"The Kingpin is a huge, menacing bad guy in the Marvel Universe, but people don't just start out saying that they're going to be bad guys. I want to explore and see what motivates him, what gives him his ambition, and why it's led him to where he is today. The same holds true with Daredevil. I want to take the most defining aspects of Daredevil - why he's doing the lawyer aspect, why he's doing the DD aspect, and see what he hopes to accomplish by both. Safe to say, it's going to be a very character-motivated plot."

25/02 - [Why Daredevil #6 is late]

Jimmy Palmiotti visited the Message Board a few days ago and let DD fans know why DD#6 is running late:

The reason that 6 is also running late is mainly that Joe's mom is REALLY sick and he has gone down to Florida to see her again and again as she is in and out of hospitals. In between all of this, he is trying to do the book, but this is next to impossible at this point, for his mom needs a lot of care and family support at this time. We are trying our best to get 6 out as soon as possible for you and it will be late, BUT, it is the best drawn, in my opinion, of all the issues. What Joe needs is support and prayers right now.
Thanks, Jimmy Palmiotti
