Murdock at the helm of The Hand is an interesting moral dilemma. Does he take the lead, or allow them to look for leadership from someone like Fisk, who he knows will abuse the power? Though it's also arrogant of him to try and create change in a group that ash had this practice for over a hundred years.
 
It doesn't really seem likely that The Hand could be "turned". It would have to be gradual. They will notice what he's doing and they just have to say he's not worthy of leadership.
 
I think it will take a talented writer to explain the minutiae of the judicial system and political corruption for a comic books audience. It can be rather dry and confusing. Knowing some of it, that's probably why I enjoyed that movie "Law Abiding Citizen". Though, I think if a person wants to write well for Dare Devil. They need to know about the justice system. Otherwise, I think you do the character a disservice. He is a lawyer, and that part of his life should play a role.
It's sort of a similar issue with Batman being a detective. Not very often in the comics do we see Batman acting as a detective. People focus too much on his fighting. The man is more then just muscle. He has a mind as well. It was nice to show Batman doing detective work in the "Dark Knight" movie. Though, the idea of lifting a print off an expended round is laughable.
 
I feel that Dark Reign really does play as a sort of political allegory. Civil War showed what happens when you start giving up freedoms for safety. Captain America (i.e. the American Spirit) dies. Secret Invasion showed the consequences of worrying about the secret enemy within. Dark Reign shows what you get when you are too willing to hand over power to someone. I'm quite interested to see what events take place to cause the turn around.

I'm just glad to see a writer who isn't aping Miller. Let's face it the norm for this mag for over 20 years has been for Murdock to have some kind of nervouse breakdown and/or his girlfriend to be imperiled or killed. Don't get me wrong I've been along for the ride and I've always been a huge DD fan. There's shades of the nervous breakdown thing here, with his friends worrying about his motives and state of mind. But there's enough of an original storyline and concept (for this mag anyway) to keep me hooked. Entertwining this with Dark Reign throws up enough possibilities to make me unsure where it's going. Which is a good thing. I'm intrigued to say the least.

this concept sounds great 
 
 
 

DD is so hott right now

I have just started collecting Daredevil again (#500 onwards) and I think it is the best thing Marvel are doing currently, with the exception of Millars Ultimate Avnegers.

Started reading Daredevil with his entry in The List and i must say it has become one of my favorites, Loved 501 and this was great, been refreshing to see this level of consistency.

Aren't all corporations evil?
