Shadowland: Daredevil by Andy Diggle, Antony Johnston
1.0

This might be more like a 2 star. Cause the art is actually solid. Especially in those Daredevil issues. And the first issue ain't bad, watching Matt fuck up Bullseye is very satisfying.

But holy shit is the story some horseshit. This is easily the lowest point I ever read in all my Daredevil reading. If you haven't read Daredevil he has a ton of amazing runs from Frank Miller to Bendis to Chip to Waid. This run is easily the worst in the last 30 years. And easily one of the worst superhero events I ever read.

Daredevil gets possessed by a actual devil and goes head to head with some power house superheroes to stop it. Every single storybeat you can guess, every single death is reverse, every single big major storyline pushed in Bendis/Brubaker's run is turned to shit, and basically this entire goddamn event is one boring slog with even worse side stories than it somehow.

So yeah, FUCK Shadowland.
