Definitely doesn’t have the feel of a mega event. More or less a crossover centered on the Avengers but *Shadow*land?

“Even In the Heroic Age, there is still darkness” – I could see this as a tag line for a promo teaser

[...] great blog has covered this idea, Christine over at The Other Murdock Papers, and I’d like to think she’s onto something. Current Daredevil scribe, Andy Diggle, [...]

Interesting. I don’t even remember hearing anything about Shadowland. I dont’ think it’ll have anything to do with Siege as that is already well under way and tie-ins are known well in advance, but it’s likely it’ll have something to do with Daredevil based on the lack of solicits, Diggle’s involvement and his Twitter comments.

ANd based on the original description, it sounds like Black Tarantula, Daredevil, White Tiger will make up the street level heroes you don’t associate with events. Could probably throw in Iron Fist to the mix since he’s lacking a book and has ties to Daredevil and Luke Cage or Spidey could help add more name power (well, Spider-Man anyways) and keep it street level. Might end up like Assault on New Olympus for Hercules with some guest star power propping up the minievent.

If Diggle is already hard at work (as Tom Brevoort suggests) on this event (if indeed that is what he is working on) then we may not need to wait long to see if we’re right (given the March 2010 delay of the main DD series). There should be some kind of announcement in the weeks ahead.

True, I may be jumping the gun a little, but I think the circumstantial evidence does point in this direction. Considering that Shadowland (or whatever it’s current title is) has been described as an event that the street-level characters will be involved in, it also fits Diggle’s bill pretty well. Then there’s all of Quesada’s talk about a “Daredevil family of books” which sounds odd when talking about a guy who only has one. Either way, I will keep up the detective work.

Thanks for commenting!

I agree, Twitter is absolutely perfect for this kind of thing and I love it for that. As for these tweets, I’m not convinced that they all point a direct line to what you’re thinking, but they certainly point somewhere, so we just have to keep on the scent.
Good work!

Case closed? Thoughts on Marvel’s Shadowland…

After Joe Quesada mentioned the Marvel project Shadowland back in August, very little news has been released. With the “secret project” Andy Diggle has alluded to in the past, and some recent comments from Tom Breevort about Daredevil skipping a mont…
