Daredevil

So "Shadowland" wrapped up this week, and as you might have guessed, it wasn't that great.  I gave it a 2.5/5, and that was only because Billy Tan finally stepped it up for this issue.  I'm a fan of Andy Diggle, but what the hell happened here buddy?  The "Daredevil" ongoing was great under you.  But then you decided to destroy the series.  But before I get on with the bad, there is some good coming out of this crap of an event.

Since Kevin Smith brought back the brilliance of Daredevil, Matt Murdock has always been the hero that is pushed to the edge, then comes back from it.  Brian Michael Bendis did this a lot during his run, but I was fine with it.  Ed Brubaker did the same, but the stories were good, so who gives a shit.  With "Shadowland" ending, it looks like Murdock is finally changing his ways.

Now, I'm a person who will love a story even though it is a slight regurgitation of an older story.  If it has some new elements that the old didn't, I'm all for it.  I was fine for years with this status quo for The Man Without Fear.  While reading "Shadowland," it was clear this was something completely new.  And I loved it for that.  But the execution was atrocious.  Matt Murdock turned into a villain, and for everything he did, I want the Punisher to kill him.  And he deserves it.  But I digress.

This event has shaken up Hell's Kitchen and looks to bring Black Panther as well.  T'Challa doesn't get the attention he deserves.  Matt Murdock will become a new person because of this.  Hopefully "Daredevil: Reborn" won't suck as much as "Shadowland" did.

What hasn't been discussed much is how his friendship to the super hero community will be after this.  His best friend, Spider-Man, will no doubt forgive him after a while, but he won't trust Murdock for a good long while.  Please Dan Slott, have this be featured in an issue.  It would be good for a stand alone issue to go back over their disagreements once Daredevil eventually comes back.

I expect some sort of fallout to come up in "Heroes for Hire" at some point.  Be it with Matt Murdock in the issue or not.  Iron Fist, Moon Knight, the Punisher, and Luke Cage won't take what Matt did lying down.   

I like the idea of Matt going to another city to be Daredevil.  With Captain Britain no longer having his own ongoing, maybe Matt can go to London.  I would just like him to go to any major city in Europe.  It would be nice to see some of the other countries in the Marvel U.  Hell, how about another city besides New York or San Francisco.  It would also give them a chance to make villains from other countries.
