A move to TPBs is probably the main reason. I am one of those peopele who prefer to wait for TPB and see the only benefit of single issues is the fact the have print ads and they have a charm to them.

I think it just might be that people are just tranferring from the comics to the tpb.

To be honest, my only comics of Daredevil are the five Lowlife-comics by Bendis.
The rest of it, I have in TPBs.

Well, not that I was ever a regular Daredevil reader, but I was a (New) Avengers reader and swichted from comics to tpbs there.

So it just might be that. I mean, DD is still an awesome comic obviously.

Brubaker is a big name, and I know some people who specifically picks up his books and would drop them when they switch teams.

One thing I always would say if I had Marvel’s ear is “less decompression”. I want things to happen in the book. This latest issue—he goes to [location], and we found out that [group of characters] have a grudge against [character] and wants to [do detrimental thing] to him/her. That’s it.
That would’ve been one page in the silver age, which would be the other extreme. Lagom is best!
I think Diggle’s run is good so far; I’ve been reading them borrowed but I might add it to my list if it picks up.
