Daredevil: End of Days
Encyclopedia
Daredevil: End of Days is a planned American comic book mini-series featuring the Marvel Comics
character Daredevil
. The miniseries is to be written by Brian Michael Bendis
and David W. Mack
, drawn by Klaus Janson
, inked by Bill Sienkiewicz
and with covers by Alex Maleev
. It concerns the death of Daredevil, not unlike previous "Marvel: The End
" miniseries, which told the final stories of other Marvel Comics characters.
According to Bendis, "It goes a little further than most of The End stories. And we make it canon
. This is in continuity
; not too dissimilar to how Dark Knight Returns became continuity through sheer force of will. So we put it out there and everybody jumped."
The series finds the future as a violent and dark underworld. According to Bendis, the first two issues (out of a possible six) will be double-sized. Nearly all of Daredevil's rogues gallery, his surviving past loves, and various other Marvel heroes will make appearances.
Despite little news on the project in recent years, Bendis mentioned it in a recent interview as 'The project that never ends,' implying work is still being done on the project. In addition, at Comicpalooza
2011 in Houston, TX, David Mack also affirmed that work was still being done on the series.
Following in June 2011, in a press release that announced Daredevil would be joining the New Avengers, Marvel also announced that the long awaited Daredevil: End of Days series would see print in Fall 2011.
