Earlier today, Jock tweeted the cover of January’s Daredevil: Reborn #1. He’s since removed it, but here it is for posterity. Feel free to speculate away!
Daredevil: Reborn was announced this past Saturday at Fan Expo in Toronto, and follows up on the end of Shadowland and the Daredevil ongoing series, both scheduled for November. December one-shot Shadowland: After the Fall will serve as a bridge. What this has to do with the recent “Who Will Be The New Man Without Fear?” marketing campaign remains to be seen.
Reports target the series at four issues, from current Daredevil writer (and Jock’s frequent collaborator on titles such as The Losers) Andy Diggle and veteran Vertigo artist Davide Gianfelice (Northlanders, Greek Street). Thanks to the resourceful Kevin Melrose over at Robot6 for grabbing the cover before it disappeared. Given that the link was removed, it may not be the final version — or, as this tweet implies, Jock may just have been having Internet issues.

I’m just getting into Daredevil, since DC has totally screwed up Batman and he is the closest thing Marvel has to him, so it is good news that he apparently is not going anywhere. Nice to see Diggle is still on board, however Gianfelice is not the right guy for a noirish book like Daredevil.

I totally farted.. it was a “moment without fear”… but the smell of the gas bomb was totally illustrated in Gene Colan style… oh man, I’ve got another butt-fart… oh, it smells like cheese… ugh
August 31st, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Uhm, Gary… You don’t have a significant other in your life do you? What are you 10 years old that you think mentioning a fart is funny. Grow up, dude.
August 31st, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Why does appreciating or making a fart joke immediately imply that one does not have a significant other? Explain that logic to me please. I’m not taking a position on the level of social appropriateness being displayed by the comment but I’m curious as to why that reaction was elicited. I’ve met plenty of women that have no issues with such humor and have boyfriends with the same proclivity. Was the comment less than civilized? Yes. Puerile? Absolutely. Unecessary? Also yes. But that is no solid indicator as to the relationship status of this individual. I’m just sayin’.

So the line between Hero & Villain gets blurred a little further.
A lawyer lying under oath to protect his secret identity is moraly questionable, but understandable and it didn’t hurt anyone.
Battling police, costumed heroes, and anyone else that doesn’t accept your taking over a section of a city … is CRIMINAL.
Causing civil unrest which leads to the injury or death of others; paying criminals to commit crimes including property damage, bodily injury, or death … is CRIMINAL
We all know Matt Murdock will be back as DD in no time. Will he say “sorry” and all will be forgiven, or will he just forget he did it like Tony Stark and we’ll have a welcome back party.
How many people have the X-Men killed? Even soldiers have rules of combat.
“Kingdom Come” addressed how what is accepted as a HERO, has been changed and continues to change.
I’m older than many of my customers and having grown up reading DC, I have a hard time calling most of Marvels characters “heroes”.

the line between hero and villain has been blurred by fart jokes.

Any hero worth their salt is going to do their best to eliminate villainous evil doers, not just stop them temporarily only to have to stop them from doing people harm again in the future. Any other perception of heroism outside of being proactive instead of reactive is naive at best.

When the Newsarama boards are not working, someone in management should put a story about it on the front page to keep visitors in the loop about what’s going on and when the situation will be resolved.
Right?
August 31st, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Gary,
I see what you did there. No worries mate. *pfft*
August 31st, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Metaphors be with you, Gary.
August 31st, 2010 at 8:50 pm
Really? A man over 10 doesn’t find fart jokes funny. I hardly call that a man.
Really? Can’t Marvel just rest Daredevil for awhile to concentrate on the 1500 Avengers titles?
August 31st, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Thunderer needs to spend some time with a good dictionary and figure out what both “heroic” and “naive” mean.
As for DAREDEVIL REBORN, I get a distinct stink of “Battle For the Cowl” from it.
Or, maybe, somebody just farted.
August 31st, 2010 at 11:14 pm
We call soldiers heroes all the time, and their actions of killed innocent women and children. I’m not slamming soldiers but a hero to me does what he has to do, even if it’s wrong or morally questionable to do what is needed. A hero also is human, who makes mistakes, and deals with them, and nor ruled, or crippled by them. A hero makes mistakes and moves on.
August 31st, 2010 at 11:47 pm
A hero does what he thinks is right (for the benefit of society) despite the consequences. Really they act on barrowed time because they work outside of official channels. If the story eliminates the consequences well they aren’t a heroes any more. They’re kind of a counterculture symbols with a deviant streak; well unless they changed the laws along the way.
August 31st, 2010 at 11:56 pm
MOre Diggle. Damn it. Well, hopefully it’ll be more DD and less Shadowland since Shadowland sucks pretty hard core like that hooker down the street for 84 bucks.
I really don’t understand the desparity between his writing on Daredevil, which while different still feels like Daredevil, and Shadowland which feels like a big stupid action movie skipping all of the good meaty character bits.
I’m sorry, I typoed a F as a b somewhere in there.

i just hope this will be a transitionary period and matt will return to the horns after some soul searching. Matt is a tragic figure very much like moonknight. The’d make a good team…hmm…

You don’t know sh!t about what it means to be a hero!
A hero saves countless lives without taking not even one in his whole life!
Marines are not heroes. They’re soldiers.
Punisher is not a hero. He’s a vigilante.
Superman in Singer’s movie is a hero!
If you don’t like him, you don’t like heroes, but vigilantes and psychos like Ledger’s Joker. Period.

Soldiers aren’t heroes. They may be brave. They may be patriotic. But they aren’t heroes.
They’re doing a job, just like police, just like firefighters, just like lifeguards, just like doctors, just like teachers. All of these jobs purport to be making the world a better place, to be making a difference.
But it’s a job.
I mean, great, a doctor saves lives every day, but he’s getting paid for it. Would he save lives if he weren’t getting paid? Would a soldier go into enemy territory if he weren’t being compensated for it? If so, then he’d be a hero. If not, he’s just a soldier.
A hero is someone who does an extraordinarily good deed for no reward.

Gorezodd you really made me laugh with that, mainly, because with one word you said what everyone else here thinks about these guys!!
September 1st, 2010 at 10:28 am
Wow, Booyah, where to begin?
The people you listed are all heroes. ESPECIALLY the soldiers, police officers and firefighters. They do a job, yes, but they don’t have to and they risk their lives every day for the betterment of society.
They could just as easily do something else that doesn’t require them to offer up their very lives every day.
Doctors…same thing, while not risking their lives they do something they love and it saves countless lives everyday. Yeah, they get paid for it and they deserve it.
I’m not sure how someone begins to think like this but it’s amusing in a way.
September 1st, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Mack,
No, my vocabulary and diction is fine, genius. Thanks for your concern but judging by your post, your concern is misdirected.
Omar and Toneloak have more rational and informed opinions on this subject.
September 2nd, 2010 at 7:40 am
Sorry, no. People throw the word “hero” around a lot, but a word “hero” has a very narrow definition.
A hero is someone who risks his/her life to save someone else’s.
One can argue that a person who makes a tremendous personal sacrifice to better the lives of others is also a hero. Mother Theresa, say.
But anyone else doing a difficult job is just a worker. Doctors, teacher, nurses are laudable for hard work, but not heroes. Cops and firefighters are borderline heroes because they face risks every day for society. And no sports star is ever a hero.
SuperHEROES hurl themselves into danger to save others.
Which, by definition, means Superman is not really a hero, because he’s rarely in personal danger. It’s not brave for Superman to enter a burning building to save someone, because he’s invulnerable. It’s brave for Batman to do the same.

Skott, they get paid for it. That’s what separates them from heroes. Heroes are selfless. They seek to gain nothing from the deeds they do. Like Sarah said, it has to do with risk and personal sacrifice – the willingness to put themselves at risk and potentially sacrifice themselves.
A soldier who signed up for the military and then shoots people isn’t a hero.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:40 am
Just wanted to comment on how gorgeous the cover illustration is. It caught my attention in a way a cover has not done in a long time.
…And that’s as close as I get to the ridiculous ‘discussions’(more like idiotic outbursts) going on above…
September 21st, 2010 at 4:15 pm
What a stupid definition.
A hero is simply a person who performs heroic acts. These generally involve bravery. I always imagine a hero to be a person who has performed one outstanding act of bravery, or has regularly faced danger in defence of a laudable idea or country.
Admiral Nelson was a hero.
Captain Thomas Cochrane of the Royal Navy IS my hero, the very embodiment of heroism and yes he was rewarded amply for his efforts but still suffered dreadfully due to the jealousy of others. He was totally anti-corruption, and totally brave and laudable.
Soldiers in general are not heroes but those who win battles, not just in fact, but in a particular style, such as General Montgomery or Wellington, ARE HEROES.
So that is my definition:
A hero to me is someone who is brave and resourceful, getting results above what could be expected of most ordinary people. They have a certain quality that can be anything really, but it raises them above the rest of us.

I absolutely accept what you have said. In reality, I browsed throughout your other posts and I believe you are absolutely correct. Congrats with this online site.
