Issue #1 of SHADOWLAND: BLOOD ON THE STREETS goes on sale next month.
Now, Comic Book Resources takes a look at the series’ four major players — Silver Sable, Misty Knight, Paladin and The Shroud — from the perspective of the NYPD’s Lt Rafe Scarfe, as part of their ongoing Shadowland feature The Unusual Suspects.
Remember, books like this live and die by pre-orders and advance interest. If you want to read BLOOD ON THE STREETS, if you want to make sure your retailer has copies, if you want to support these characters and increase the chances of them showing up again… please tell your retailer that you want the series, and even pre-order it if you’re able. The order code for issue #1 is JUN100581.
14th July 2010 / Daredevil / On Sale / Shadowland
As mentioned at the weekend, this week sees the release of DAREDEVIL #508 — today, in fact, if you live in North America.
This is the first part of In The Shadows, the arc which will show readers the ‘other side’ of the SHADOWLAND event, with more emphasis on Matt Murdock, his friends, and the trouble they all find themselves in as DD spirals out of control. Here’s the solicit:
Matt Murdock has long played judge and jury to criminals as Daredevil, but has he now become executioner as well?! SHADOWLAND takes over Daredevil and his friends aren’t about to stand by and lose him on the path he seems destined for. A major player joins the battle as Hell’s Kitchen is about to live up to its name once more!
The order code is MAY100590, it’s on sale in all the usual places, and you can read a preview at CBR.
10th July 2010 / Daredevil / Dead Space / On Sale / Shadowland / Wasteland
Typical. I go on vacation for a week, and it all kicks off. While I was away…
WASTELAND
WASTELAND #29 went on sale. This is the fourth part of the “Enemy Within” story arc, and is a big issue for several reasons. First, here’s the solicit:
The ENEMY WITHIN story arc continues, and this issue Watchman Dexus is in the spotlight! Recent times have been tough for Dexus, as his attempts to control the Newbegin council have apparently come to nought. Now things are about to get even trickier… but the Watchman is nothing if not devious, and the Sunner rebellion might be just the help he needs.
The order code is MAR101107.
Second, this issue marks the departure of regular artist Christopher Mitten, who’s moving on to creative pastures new. Filling his inestimable boots is Remington Veteto, a fresh-faced graduate of SCAD.
Finally, we’ve revamped the official website, thebigwet.com — with a funky new look, cleaner layout, and better organization.
DEAD SPACE
Next up is the news that, yes, I’m working in the DEAD SPACE universe once again. DEAD SPACE IGNITION is an interactive fiction/motion comic/game/experiment that lays the groundwork for next year’s DEAD SPACE 2 with a brand new story, characters, locations and events.
IGNITION will be released this fall, for download on XBLA and PSN. More information on that as and when it’s available.
DAREDEVIL
In DAREDEVIL news, SHADOWLAND #1 went on sale this week, written by Andy Diggle and kicking off this summer’s DD-centric event. You can read a preview of it here…
…And you can also read a preview of DAREDEVIL #508, by Andy and myself. #508 is the first issue of the “In The Shadows” story arc that runs alongside SHADOWLAND itself, and goes on sale next week.
And that’s all she wrote. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a couple of hundred unread emails to plough through…

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen me refer a few times recently to an unannounced project known only as $SECRETMARVELBOOK. Well, the secret is out.
SHADOWLAND: BLOOD ON THE STREETS is a miniseries that will run parallel to SHADOWLAND itself later this year. It’s a street-level noir-ish mystery featuring four cult favourite characters: Misty Knight, The Shroud, Silver Sable and Paladin.
Four very different heroes, thrown together when they discover a series of events that Daredevil won’t acknowledge: the Hand is killing low-rent mobsters throughout New York, without trial or recourse.
Illustrated by the fantastic Wellinton Alves (who also drew a story for me in YUGGOTH CREATURES, way back when!), BLOOD ON THE STREETS is monthly, and begins in August. You can read more about the book, the characters and how I came to be writing it, and see some teaser art, at…
— Marvel.com
— IGN
— Newsarama
…and of course I’ll keep everyone updated here and on Twitter.
(Yes, there was a date embargo on all these interviews. How did you guess?)
17th April 2010 / Daredevil / Shadowland
The big DAREDEVIL summer event has finally been announced: SHADOWLAND, by Andy Diggle and Billy Tan. This will, as you’d expect, tie in to the main DAREDEVIL series quite heavily, and is one of the main reasons I’m sticking around on the title.
If you want to know more, click that link for an interview with Andy. And watch this space, as they say, for some intriguing news in the near future…
