Daredevil #1.50 Gives Us The Political Future Of Daredevil In San Francisco
Today's Daredevil #1.50 celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Daredevil, first published by Marvel Comics in April 1964. But because this is Marvel Time, Matt Murdock is prety much the same age as when he started, give or take.
But in this issue, we see the character celebrating his fiftieth birthday. No longer Daredevil (for as long as that lasts) but still living in San Francisco, where he moved last month. A handy way of emphasising that this move from East to West is permanent…
But we also get a glimpse of his future, and the future of the Marvel Universe to come. And just like the Daredevil of the alternate Earth seen in Fantastic Four Annual 1998, he loks like, for a while he became mayor. And then married another…
And look for a rogues gallery yet to come. The Shroud. The Purple Children (offspring of the Purple Man?) and Jubula Pride. And you will meet one of those in this very issue…
It was feared that when this book was cancelled and relaunched under All-New Marvel NOW that writer Mark Waid would take that as an opportunity to leave the book. But it seems that there are plenty more Daredevil stories from Mark Waid to come.
