    Daredevil

    Character » Daredevil appears in 4764 issues.

    As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while trying to save an elderly stranger about to get hit by a truck carrying the dangerous material. In turn, his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day, he is a successful trial lawyer; but by night, he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil: the Man Without Fear.

    I'm sad to see Mark Waid go

    No matter how many haters he's got here, I absolutely adore(d) his run and just needed to get this off my chest.

    I'm already mourning for Matt, because I can tell that something awful is going to happen as soon as somebody else takes over, like Bullseye killing Kirsten or so.

    In all fairness, the character's best stories are dripping in edge.

    In all fairness we don't need more Frank Miller imitators.

    So? Most creators influence the ones that come after especially if they make a large impact. Anyway last time I heard you didn't like Waid and hadn't actually read any Daredevil so what gives?

    His Flash run was pretty decent.

    Any source for this claim? I don't doubt it happening since Daredevil's new black and red costume being a big move away from Waid's colourful Silver Age inspired run coupled with Waid being the new Avengers writer indicates this is going to happen.

    You can always read crime noir books from other publishers.

    @lvenger: They've been saying for a while now that Waid's run is ending.

    Published: February 25, 2015

    Rating: Rated T+

    Writer: Mark Waid

    THE END BEGINS HERE! Mark Waid and Chis Samnee begin the climactic final chapter of their beloved, Eisner Award Winning run with the return of one of Matt Murdock’s oldest and (now) scariest enemies.

    @lvenger: I think they might have even mentioned it in interviews before that. All I need to know now is who will be writing\drawing the new book and if it will be a Daredevil book or a Defenders book. (I want Andrea Sorrentino)

    @lvenger: I'd love to see Jeff Lemire's take on him, if you've read his Green Arrow or Bloodshot you can tell he's really good at taking a character in new directions whilst staying true. Wouldn't mind also seeing Cullen Bunn or Greg Rucka having a shot.

    @jonny_anonymous: Read the former, I thought you'd pick him. Bunn could do a decent job but practically, he's got several titles at DC. Rucka could definitely write a strong Daredevil run, his Gotham Central and Batman work is a testament to that. But his primary concern is going to be on Lazarus for the forseeable future, I know he's focused on that.

    @lvenger: Yeah Bunn writes a lot of books so I could see that affecting his work and yeah Ricks is focusing on his Indy work these days.

    @kcomicfan: I'm afraid it has ended on Wednesday, Waid's last issue of Daredevil came out earlier this week. You can be sad now.

    I liked the beginning of Waid's run, simply because there was less of the grim-dark crap, but he really went off the rails towards the end.

    So, yeah, good riddance.
