Is it insensitive to call a preview of Daredevil #1, a book about a blind superhero, a first look? It's not me, that was the title on the Marvel press release...okay, maybe I am feeling a little evil tonight but with good reason. The Sidekickcast kept loyal to DD through the terrible times of the poorly executed and disapointing Shadowland, held fast whilst undergoing the lacklusture Daredevil: Reborn and have even dedicated a full feature, The Devils Back Bones to the glory days of our favourite Marvel vigilante. Now, here we are,back again right where we started, new book, new creative team but same old Matt Murdock.

Follow up:

This rebooted series released at the end of June is written by Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Irredeemable) with Paolo Rivera (Amazing Spider-Man) and Marcos Martin (Amazing Spider-Man) both teaming up on the art. Apart from the stunning cover depicting Daredvil's power represented by a world of words, this book looks to be taking a lighter tone than in previous years and it may be that Daredevil once again becomes a bonefide true blue (or at least crimson) superhero. NOt sure how Sidekickcast host Dan is going to react to that but I for one am willing to give this a chance, it sure does look purty and Waid has never really let me down yet.
