The only thing I've heard about it is that Daredevil kills Bullseye and that ends his comic book run. Is anyone reading it or can anyone tell me about it?

The gist of it is,Marvel's turning Matt Murdock into a villain along the lines of Hal Jordan's Parallax.....minus the space bugs.Daredevil has set up a fortress called Shadowland in Hell's Kitchen and with the Hand has been violently proactive(i.e. killing anyone that does a crime more or less)in it's protection.Of course that sets him against a bunch of heroes like Spider-Man,Iron Fist,Luke Cage.,etc.

The big difference is Parallax was very powerful and was a threat to the DC heroes even if they banded together. Whereas Daredevil is just a blind man with the power of sight. Even with his ninjas, he probably shouldn't pose much trouble for two heroes banded together. Hell, Tony Stark and Shield can wipe him out.

Has it been handled well, cuz that's a big turn for DD? Is there a panel where the Punisher is saying "Finally!"?

I'm sure this will last about as long as evil Iron Man corrupted by Kang and evil 'Onslaught' Xavier corrupted by Magneto

They seem to be hinting that Castle's sort of a wild card in all this, and may or may not even be taking Matt's side:
  • In this week’s “Shadowland” #3, Daredevil's war on crime is complicated by the arrival of another anti-crime crusader, Frank Castle -- AKA The Punisher. “Frank is a guy who deals with what's right in front of him. He's not interested in the moral politics of what Matt Murdock is doing. The other characters are agonizing about the pros and cons of Matt's new direction, but Frank isn't the kind of character who agonizes about that stuff,” Diggle said. “When he wades in in issue #3, it's not because he's taking sides. It's because he's responding to a very immediate clear and present danger, and he does so in his own inimitable style. It's actually quite fun having a character like Frank Castle around when these other characters are so conflicted about the decisions Matt is making. You can just have Frank step in and say, 'You know what? Just shoot the guy!'”


Speaking of the Punisher, this brings up an interesting point. In a modern Marvel U where Frank Castle is, at worst, an uneasy ally of the "good" guys, Wolverine and Bucky Cap are Avengers and Tony Stark regularly alternates between idealistic billionaire and sleazy government agent not that different from Norman Osborne, are we really supposed to be believe that "Daredevil starting to kill people" is that hard a pill for Spidey, et al, to swallow?

Is it worth reading? It sounds like a Summer forced event.

It's shit!

The tie-in minis are some of worst shit I have read in a very long time.

The only Puniser book I read is the Max series! Isn't the Punisher in the Marvel Universe still a Franken-punisher?

I stopped reading Punisher back when he got plastic surgery and became a negro.

They even teamed him up with Luke Cage. It's like they're trying to offend the racist demographic. Marvel can be such a dick sometimes.

Guy's don't waste your money on the Punisher/Daken story they just wrapped up. They fought for four issues. Than Daken ran away. Predictable and disappointing.

Aren't they all?

Anyway, I've never been a fan of turning heroes into anti-hero type villains.

Either update/upgrade the villains that are already there or create a new one.

Honestly?No it's not.The only reason to read it is to see how they're changing Murdock.The rest of the story is crap.
