What kind of Daredevil mini series would like to see in the future? What stories would you like to see told in mini series?

Depends on whether it would be a mini series taking place in the past, present or future.

Future - waiting for the mini series (that's being written right now by Bendis if i'm not mistaken) of Daredevil's last days alive and how he dies so that ought to be "interesting"

Past - His younger years before Daredevil has been done nearly to death but i'd like to see more Stick (alot more Stick) since the character's been dead for more then 25 years and i doubt they have any interest of touching him when they had Shadowland as an opportunity. There's alot of mystery in the training backstory and their time in Japan so i'd like to know more.

Present - If anything comes from the love triangle between Spiderman, Blackcat and Daredevil (if not an ongoing relationship with Matt in the main book) then a Daredevil/Black cat mini series similair to "Wolverine and Blackcat: Claws" or "Spiderman/Blackcat: the evil that men do".

Any of them i'd buy. Thoughts?

Good question. You mentioned Long Halloween, which made me think that Loeb and Sale need to have another go with DD. Their work on Batman, and also Loeb's HUSH arc are insane.

I wouldnt mind a more horror-esque mini series. Not to the extent of Ghost Rider, but say someone like Scarecrow or Madcap coming to NY and kidnapping kids or something.

Maybe even something under MAX imprint.

Quick question, seeing as you mentioned Matt's early days. How often have we seen him as a teen? You know that point when the things on your mind are sex, popularity, being cool, etc...?

that's the thing we see the 13 year old being bullied and we see the 18 year old, the 19 year old freshman, the 26 year old law graduate and ongoing but never anything in the high school years. It's just assumed he was a socially reclusive kid with his peers and his first relationship (and the first time he had sex naturally) was with Elektra.

They go to such ends on detailing Peter Parkers youth i just figure a good story can be made of Matt's training with Stick.

You brought up Max. I only want to see Daredevil Max if it got really realistic on his fight against the Hand ninja and Kingpins mob with a realistic spin on classic villains. Batman meets Punisher with heavy duty equipment such as body armor and other military pieces, more focus on the Japanese angle and to warrant the max title Daredevil would kill (within reason and when warranted) with the billy clubs, a katana and if they really wanted a nod to frank miller would be him carrying a bow. for the villains i was thinking A katana fight with the matador would be epic, jester could be a John Wayne Gacy style rapist, bullet could be the local muscle who reminds Matt of his dads enforcer days, Bullseye could have trained with the Hand along with Elektra and Matt, take away the superpowers and you could leave Typhoid Mary the way she is.

That's all i have for now i guess. Due to the recent popularity of Daredevil knowing marvel he's likely going to get another series just like deadpool and wolverine.

so a short (and i mean very short) max run would be nice for a year.

a ten issue run would be perfect for a graphic novel.

Wasn't the "Daredevil : End of days" the miniserie supposed to tell the last days in the life of Matt Murdock, and his death ?

To be honest, I'm a little torn on it... I'm sure it will be an amazing tale with a great conclusion, but knowing the future, if it's completely cannon like Bendis said it is (and not a simple "possible future", like these stories are) a limitation to future DD writer (who will have to make things in continuity with Bendis book)

For the past story... well, many thing are known... The only mini serie that can bring something new is a mini serie about sister maggie, and her shady past. Yes, I would love to see that, and how it impacted Matt life.

I think it would be interesting if David Mack revisited the pairing of Daredevil and Echo again.

Also a legal battle between Matt and Jennifer Walters could be fun. Has Daredevil ever done anything with She-Hulk before?

wow, so many great suggestions especially from
"theunrealstudios".

I would love to see much more about Stick and Master Izo.
I also think maybe something with Wolverine would be good since hey have ties to Japan, Lady Deathstrike (Daredevil 197 was her 1st App), New Avengers, etc. Maybe even Deadpool.

I wouldn't mind seeing a guest creative team series like the old Batman: legends of the dark knight series. Having it as a MAX would be ok too. However, I wouldn't it to be based around more "realistic" and bloodier violence, instead I would have it be about more "realistic" crimes like drug trafficking, prostitution, domestic violence and homicides. Focus on the victims, perpetrators and how Matt deals with each success or failure in bringing justice. A lot like what Ann Noncenti was writing about. Keep the level of violence down so the MAX line gets remembered for mature themes rather than max violence.

yep, Nocenti's themes were really mature and interesting to read. Wasnt there an issue where kids were being kidnapped for porn movies?
