“Shadowland” series that Marvel keeps sending teasers out for, and the one we got today wasn’t much different. Apparently, the soul of New York is at stake and all the New York-centric superheroes are doing battle.
As far as I can ascertain, this sounds very much like a Batman sort of arc done over at Marvel.
Daredevil is the head of the Hand (much like Jason Todd was running crime in Gotham for a while) and low-level mobsters start getting killed (a purge of which seems to happen every decade or so in the Bat universe) and a bunch of 2nd tier, street-level heroes with ties to Daredevil get involved to figure out what’s going on. This happens all the time in the Bat universe with the ever-increasing numbers of 2nd tier, street level heroes with ties to Batman.
I mean, I love Batman and read more of it than anything, and if Marvel can provide me what is essentially a Batman sounding story with Marvel characters, I think I could be happy with that.
What do you guys think?
(Also, here’s more of the teasers:)
