Today sees the publication of Dark Reign: Omega, the final issue of the Daredevil event that has remade the politics and streets of New York City. After a battle over Daredevil's identity, Mayor Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, is no longer mayor and has fled the country with Typhoid Mary, after murdering Mike Murdock. Though everyone thought it was Matt Murdock and still does. Daredevil now no longer has a secret identity. And beating Wilson Fisk to the mayorship now is one Luke Cage. But it seems that the mayor's power has its limits when it comes to being a superhero.

It remains illegal to be a superhero in New York City. What will that mean for the Fantastic Four, all the Spider-Men, and the many heroes that litter the streets? At least the X-Men have diplomatic immunity.

While Daredevil – both of them – have their own plans going forward, well away from the streets of New York.

They are off to take down the demon ninja cult known as The Hand. Who are up to stuff.

Keen Marvel Comics readers know that the Hand are currently being run by Daredevil's sparring partner, Frank Castle, the Punisher. They seem to serve him but there is clearly an underlying agenda.

Is it the Hand's plan to use the Punisher to take complete control of the world? To quote Neil Gaiman, they only have to be asked… and this does suggest some kind of crossover between the two titles coming. The solicitations for the new Daredevil series have been rather vague… Devil's Reign Omega and Punisher #3 are published by Marvel Comics today.
