Okay, this is pretty awesome. To promote Daredevil #1, Marvel has put out an audio version of the issue, with character voices provided by Marvel editors Tom Brennan, Ellie Pyle and Jordan D. White, and panel descriptions read by the issue’s writer, Mark Waid. As editor Steve Wacker explains at the start of the recording, it’s an impromptu read-through, so don’t expect a perfect radio play, but it’s a really nice idea for a book about a blind hero – and, if nothing else, hearing Waid’s panel descriptions is a treat.

I think this is fantastic and should be an ongoing initiative for MARVEL Comics.
I imagine there isn’t much superhero publications available to the Blind. This would be a fantastic way to tap into a small market – and very much embracing of an otherwise marginalized community.
