We just posted our list of “Happiest Daredevil Moments,” and today Marvel’s solicits confirmed that his end is officially here. Shadowland saw the “birth of the greatest villain in the Marvel Universe”, and apparently his finale as well. Take a look at the solicit below:
DAREDEVIL #512
Written by ANDY DIGGLE
Pencils & Cover by ROBERTO DE LA TORRE
A SHADOWLAND TIE-IN: FINAL ISSUE! Years of acting as the Guardian Devil of Hell’s Kitchen have taken their toll on The Man Without Fear. Hell’s Kitchen lies in ruins, and it is up to the people of New York to start anew and begin rebuilding. In this last chapter of his story, will Matt Murdock at last find final redemption for the events of SHADOWLAND?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
Even the final Shadowland solicit doesn’t bode well for Murdock. It reads: “With the help of his former enemy-turned-champion, Daredevil has thwarted his former friends and finds himself prepared to claim all of New York for himself. The chaos of Shadowland has reached a boiling point, and Daredevil himself may not survive to see the result!” Uh oh.
So, what’s going to become of the Man without Fear? Will Matt Murdock die, or simply retire? Is someone going to take up the new mantle? It looks like the end of Shadowland will be more monumental than we’d originally assumed.
Keep your eyes peeled for the almost assured Daredevil: Reborn comic in a few more months.
