yes, but anniversary issue and # 1 of a relaunch mean higher sales. If they could they would only publish anniversary issues and # 1 issues, relaunch a series every second month

F you marvel. I devote hundreds of dollars to your omnibus line, buy every variant that comes out for DD and still you are ending it on such a piss-poor run? Part of me is considering dropping every marvel book. Right now.

The whole ending of Daredevil feels horribly abrupt. The conceit of putting him in charge of the hand was really cool and started out really cool but the speed with which Matt Murdock became the thing that he hates feels really forced. There should be at least another couple of arcs of him putting his will against the nature of the Hand before he gave in.

Between this ending (any sign of a relaunch btw?) and the back up in Captain America I’m now only going to be getting S.H.I.E.L.D from Marvel as I cannot see anything in these solicits to fill the void for a street level/ crime book like Daredevil.

Wow… nice job, Marvel. Cancel this title after non-stop great creative runs just because Andy Diggle can’t get the job done. Should’ve just stuck him on the book as a filler until you good throw Greg Rucka on it. Seriously… what a s#!tty day to be a Daredevil fan.

Does anyone seriously think that Daredevil is CANCELLED versus just cancelled. Marvel kept resurrecting Spider-Girl, for God’s sake. This is yet another example of the Marvel hype machine cancelling a book to resurrect it with a new #1, I guarentee. The whole “Who Is The New Man Without Fear?” teaser series will probably lead into either a mini dealing with the absense of DD, or a one-shot, and New Daredevil #1 something similar will launch in the next six months. The thing I find annoying if renumbering the book just to cancel it to bring it back with another #1 that will be renumbered to 600 in another half dozen years.

And thus Marvel tacitly admits that “cancelling” Ult-Spidey was a pointless decision. Luckily for BMB and for us, the numbering has not and should not affect the quality of the comic.

DD was my last Marvel book. Just sad to take Matt down this road.I do not know if I can watch or read. I will try. I am amazed how sad I really feel.

Meh.

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END SAY IT AIN’T SO!?!?

Ugh. So basically, Daredevil reboot? More grit, more grime – darker and knightier? Whee. I’ll be reading Tiny Titans.

The Ultimate Spiderman news is really non-news. The covers have always said Ultimate Spiderman. NEVER, not even once have they said Ultimate Comics Spiderman (thank goodness, what a stupid ass name, I’m guessing Jeph Loeb came up with that gem).

Also, remember back when, when Marvel announced they were cancelling their entire X-Men line? Turns out it was Age of Apocolypse! Also, remember, this is Marvel were talking about. They cancel series, and relaunch them more frequently than some fanboys change underwear….

Wow! Another Marvel titel going back to the original numbering? How long before Avengers and New Avengers go back to their orignal numbers? I know that a new #1 means higher sales, but it’s just a shame that Marvel can’t sell a book based on its merit. Instead they have to rely on gimmicks and schemes.

F you Marvel.

It’s pretty amazing to me that after staying away from message boards for q couple of years I come back and people are still complaining about the same things. And trying to make a comics issue a comics company issue. Both DC and Marvel cancel and relaunch books constantly. How many times has The Flash been relaunched or renumbered recently? How many people have been the Flash in the last 10 years? How about Teen Titans since around 95? Wonder Woman? Both companies know how much money they can make from gimmicks, It’s just the way it is and has been since around 1985 when DC relaunched Superman. Other companies (even indies!) do the same thing.

*shakes head*

Daredevil – That was one of my favorite books for a good long time. Sad to see it end and be restarted, especially so soon after the renumbering to 500.

Ult Spidey – Also one of my favorite titles, but the new #1 stunt was a brilliant jumping off point for me. See Marvel, you could have kept a reader by not pulling this (pointless) crap. Instead, you lost one.

it’s a gimmick so quit crying hell he’ll be back but the whole number thing is a pain relaunch after relaunch it bet if the sells of these book stayed in the top 20-30 all the time the number will never change. like action comics, amazing spider-man, detective comics, batman etc….

Honestly Marvel, this renumbering, relaunching, return to numbering has to stop. Seriously. FOr a guy like me that is away from a LCS can only get issues sporadically through the years, get #12 of a series to find out its volume 2 or 3 and doesnt fit the issues I have is a pain in the ass.

Can someone come up with an logical explanation of why cancel a book to only relaunch and renumber it and then a year down the line go back to its original numbering? I wonder if the cover price will be $4.99?

So the SOBs at Marvel finally canceled Daredevil. I have been collecting him since I was a little kid and got all the back issues to #1, April 1964. He has always been my favorite Marvel character, if not my faorite ero period. Well I hope the hell they like it. Because after DD #512 comes out and its over. All my other Marvel titles will be canceled and I’ll become DC only.

May Marvel go backrupt and stay gone. To hell with them!

“THE HOBGOBLIN’S BACK! You wanted him, you got him! And he’s ready to hit the BIG TIME too — with a whole new bag of tricks! Who’s under the mask this time? Is it Roderick Kingsley, Jason Macendale, or somebody else? Ready for another long, unfolding mystery with months of clues, red herrings, and shocking twists? Well tough! We’re showing you who he is in THIS ISSUE!”

Seriously?

The Hobgoblin?

Why?

I mean, sure, a mystery of a who a masked character, especially a villain could be fun to read and follow. But if you’re going to do this, why not create a NEW character. Why not give the readers something NEW.

Why keep “Beating all these Dead characters, er, I mean, Horses.” ?

Re-numbering in my opinion is always a bad move, nothing good ever comes of it, and it is disrepectful to the legacy of the company. They should be proud of how many issues they have published, not try to hide it. All they need are good stories and it doesn’t matter if it is #38596, it will sell (anyone remember Hush?). I find it fascinating that in the old days, the publishers tried to avoid having new number ones, because the belief held in the editorial offices was that people would be more likely to buy a comic with a high issue number because it was perceived to have stood the test of time; #1′s were “untried” and readers were perceived to be less likely to take a chance on them. Hilarious, huh?

I just started reading Daredevil with the Noir series and the Lady Bullseye trade. It has filled my Batman void since DC, or should I say Morrison, ruined him. I enjoy Diggle and Johnston, who appears to be doing most of the writing. How typical.

Not surprised that Daredevil is canceled since they are probably going to kill him off. This whole thing with the hand has been lame and first time I stopped reading daredevil when that started.
By the way it isn’t just Daredevil that would make me want to boycott marvel. It’s also OMD/BND/OMIT, to many hulks, wolverine and deadpool overkill. What have they have done to avengers and x-men. Killing characters off and bringing them back and giving lame reason why.

Hey Alex H. For a roughly 8-9 years Daredevil was the only Marvel title I was reading. Any other books, Daredevil guest starred in them. What does this mean, Right now you compare a DC book to a Marvel title and the artwork is 100% better then anything Marvel is putting out Their whole art department is a bunch of rookies. Very little is any skill from any of them.

Also, why is the hell do we have to have 20 F’in Wolverine or Deadpool books? I also think there possible is close to a dozen Spiderman titles. Why?

Can’t they think of something new? For Daredevil they rushed fiinsihing off the storyline he was in and then BANG he was evil in Shadowland. No leadup, No hints in earlier issues.

I’ll finish getting the story and put them up. Fron 1964 to today I have all of his books. They need to recind this statement and FIRE all the A’holes running the show as far as Daredevil is concerned. Bring back Frank Miller.

I think Moon Knight should be the new “Man without fear” for awhile.Or Iron Fist.

“How long until The Avengers goes back to its original numbers?”

Depends on how Marvel wants to fudge the numbers to get it to #600 as quickly as possible.

Did someone just say “Can’t they think of something new” AND “Bring back Frank Miller” in the same post? That’s pretty awesome.
Also, they noted all the different Spidey and Wolvie titles. I’m sure all the Bat/Supes/Lanter/JLwhatever/Titan books are drawing the same complaints?

It’s all about relaunching DD later at $3.99 an issue. They know they can’t get away with going to $3.99 on this title right now. But if they make us ‘go without’ for a while, they know we’ll pay the $3.99 at relaunch because we’ll just be so happy to have DD back again.

Don’t forget Marvel are first and foremost businessmen who have been at this for a long time. And who I am liking less and less as time goes on.

Stop gouging people!

I have not bought in to the new #1 issue relaunches for a long time. I have felt that it is a poor excuse to take an extra $1 out of the pockets of dedicated readers. Sure it boosts slumping sales of a book for the first 5 or 6 issues and then it tapers of again. Most of the people buying these titles are not new readers, but long time readers of comic books who frequent their local comic book shops. It spurns people like me to drop the habit of picking up a new book, just because it costs more and it is only a gimmick to suck in good people’s hard earned dollars. If they truly wanted to bring in new readers and show appreciation for the old fans, why not make the cover price $1 less for a new first issue relaunch. I.e. Start with the #1 being $2.99, then start with their $3.99 pricing from issue #2 onward. It would even help retailers as well who are certainly going to buy an enormous amount of #1′s to get the variants. It’s basic marketing; if people feel they are getting a deal they are willing to make a purchase.

I don’t need anyone to point out that this does not make fiscal sense to lower the price. I realize there would be less profit, but maybe more people would be inclined to pick up a new relaunch if it cost less. As I said the retailers will prop the first issue up into the hundreds of thousands in sales by purchasing enough copies to get their variants.

I can’t justify it to myself to purchase a relaunch for more money, I leave the new book on the shelf because it doesn’t make fiscal sense to me.

Nerdy fanboy anger makes me smile.
Keep it up, guys.

I’m thinking that large price increases (especially for overseas readers) re-launches, re-numbering, re-voluming, obcene art or story on things they charge premium price for (both in variant covers as well as story-line art)and cancellations are all Marvel policy.

Its amazing how someone who had 98% marvel in his collection has been consistently buying with 95% of the purchases being DC these past four years. Its obviously going to continue into the future, based on all the crap above.

DC are smart, in that they are(largely) staying with the old status quo.
They will pick up so much business over the next decade by just sitting back.

obviously this was hinted at for awhile.

obviously people wouldn’t be overreacting if they hadn’t paid attention to the Marvel Con news in the months before.

Has anyone heard anything since this announcement? December’s solicitatios couldn’t come sooner!

Also might I add. Marvel has really been low-balling us on a lot of things as of late. Prices are to say the least, but the quality of the stories are not the same as they used to be and it seems to me that it’s due to the fact that they are too obsessed with marketing their products that they forget the quality of the products. Amazing Spider-man used to be such a great book but has fallen short due to Quesada’s stupid opinion that he wants to negate 30years of Spidey’s history. Hopefully Hobgoblin’s comeback helps bring it back, and Hulk’s story of the War of Hulks – ugh – and I used to be a big fan of Deadpool but now because of the film he is literally vomited everywhere in Marvel. I thought that would be fun but it’s like being served Pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next few years.

Its just sad that we have to loose another piece of our childhood to another one of Marvel’s marketing schemes. At least I got my darkhorse comics and the last few good DC titles.

Sorry for the rant!

Best you could edit the blog name Blog@Newsarama » Blog Archive » DAREDEVIL Ending in November, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN Returns to Original Numbering to something more better for your blog post you write. I enjoyed the the writing still.

We have started to consider bankruptcy as my personal onle option at this time. I am just a little puzzled by The difference between chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy. I have a home in Florida and also own a residence but I have no earnings to generate any type of payments at the moment. I would need some expert advice in the event that anyone might share some insight based on my scenario.
