There will also be two Dynamic Forces signed editions.
One is signed by Mark Waid for $19.62 and another signed by John Romita, Sr., for $69.99.
I will also try to find out the ratios for the covers, if anyone needs that info (for you completists out there).

Thanks KM. You are the man as always.
The Rivera cover is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Just brilliant. People might not dig the aesthetics of it but the mind-blowing creativity of it carries the day for me.
The Martin cover is meh. Why does DD look evil in it?
The Adams cover, while not as creative as Rivera's, is quite slick and typically awesome work by Adams. Score another one for the legend. |

| A new #1 and five covers. I guess they need some way to sell the book. Waid's "writing" certainly isn't going to do it. |

Why would you say that? Waid is a talented, creative, renowned writer. If you created a list of best comic book writers of all-time, Waid cracks the top 25, imo.
I'm absolutely expecting this run to be better than Diggle, better than Brubaker, and perhaps better than Bendis. |

| Better than Smith, too, of course. Basically, I'm coming in with high expectations. I think Waid will match or exceed anything that happened in Volume 2 of DD. Almost everything Waid has written has been good. We're lucky to have him on board as DD's writer. |

| Wheelie, does that mean that you pretty much think Daredevil's 2nd volume was subpar, or do you just have that much faith in Waid? |

He'd be lucky to make the top 2,500. His run on FANTASTIC FOUR--a book and idea of which he had absolutely no understanding at all--was an unending embarrassment, noteworthy only for completely destroying one of the best villains Marvel ever created in a cheap stunt to temporarily boost sales. Before that, he ground out KINGDOM COME, which was an absolutely wretched piece of work, an extended whine about the decline of early '60s DC ethos in comics. Not a competent story. Just a whine. Waid worked from so stacked a deck as to make it not only entirely uninteresting but offensively stupid (the series had great artwork, though, which is what sold it--to see how well it would have done without Ross, check out Waid's sequel, which lacked him). He's never given me so much as a hint that he's able to handle any degree of complexity or subtlety (and DD is a character that needs both), or even just write a god story, and he seems fundamentally ideologically opposed to the everything that makes DD work.

I think Waid is at brilliant, for example his runs on the Hulk, Flash, and even Ka Zar etc were great, I will admit that his stuff on the Fantastic Four was pretty bad, good ideas but just did not work out well, the ending to the story where they invaded heaven was the worst thing I have ever read in comics.
But mostly he is top notch so got high hopes!

I never read his FF nor Kingdom Come but I do know the latter is critically acclaimed and your opinion is in the vast minority. (Doesn't mean it's wrong, of course -- taste is certainly subjective)
What I HAVE read of Waid are his Flash, Irredeemable, and JLA runs and they are FANTASTIC.
I have a feeling most people are going to love his Daredevil run. Certainly DD #1 kicked butt, no? |
