Dark Horizons is reporting that two casting breakdowns are out for Elektra and a young Matt Murdock.

Elektra Natchios - Age Range 21-31. Elektra is the daughter of a Greek business tycoon. Exotic, intelligent, raised in private schools in a life of priviledge. Very beautiful, athletic and trained in martial arts".

Young Matt Murdock - Age Range 12-14. Brown hair and brown eyes. Matt Murdock as a young boy - smart, articulate, sensitive yet strong. Idolizes his father, who is a boxer. He is struck in the eyes and goes blind, only to find other senses have been heightened. Trains his body to gymnast levels.

Also, Wizard Magazine this month has published a rumour that Penelope Cruz is up for the role of Elektra. But then again, they still say Vin Diesel is involved with the movie...

Comic artist Frank Teran forwarded me a link to a DD pic he created. It's Daredevil in Cinamascope and is available to view here.

Fans of the Marvel Knights title may be wondering why MK#16 wasn't among the titles solicited for August. The already running late title may have not been solicited to play catch-up. When asked about this on his message board by poster JackJr, writer Chuck Dixon said "For a variety of reasons we missed shipping that month". MK#12 is now scheduled for June 27, #13 for July 11 and #14 and #15 were originally scheduled for June and July, respectively.

Chris Ryall and Christopher Allen of the Comic Book Galaxy site have recently come together to present their views on the second volume of the Miller Visionaries TPB. If you've never read those Miller tales, or were wondering if it's worth picking up, check out their column here. This link is to the first part. The second part is available here until it is archived.

Yes guys, it's been 5 years for this site in its many incarnations. The site began on my university account, then to Interlog, then to where it is now, at its own domain. I never thought in a million years I'd still be doing this years later. But quickly I realized there was an audience for this character... a hidden passion among DD fans that you'll rarely see in other characters. You are what makes this site thrive... the regulars who visit day after day just to see what's new in DD's world. I am honoured that you continue to let me do this.

There are rumours circulating that Frank Quitely may be the replacement for Joe Quesada on DD when Bob Gale's arc starts (from Rich Johnston's All the Rage column at www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com). HOWEVER, take this news as RUMOUR because unless something major has changed, Quitely isn't the one taking over. I've heard it's someone else. :)
