Daredevil is getting the Marvel Legacy treatment in November and issue #595 of the series will bring back The Kingpin in a very unexpected way; he's going to become the new mayor of New York City!
That's quite a change for the villain but one which makes sense considering the fact he's spent Secret Empire winning over the public by doing good deeds throughout the city. In this arc, writer Charles Soule will be joined by artist Stefano Landini and the former promises a major status quo shift here.
"One thing that’s always helped Matt in his fights against Fisk is that he’s had the law on his side," he explains. "The Kingpin of Crime is… the Kingpin of Crime, and so by definition he couldn’t really operate in the open. In this 'Legacy' story, that has changed. The city belongs to the Kingpin, which means, in many ways, Daredevil is the outlaw. I think it’ll make for a really interesting story."
With Daredevil #600 on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how this factors into that and what this will mean for the Man Without Fear moving forward. What do you guys think of this major shakeup?
