Andy Diggle joins the ranks of decent writers who’ve produced a crappy event comic with Shadowpants!
What do you do when Bullseye blows up a tenement block in Hell’s Kitchen? Well, if you’re Daredevil, you put on a black version of your outfit, build a giant Eastern-themed fortress in its place, become head of a ninja cult, establish martial law over your territory, and start raising the dead. Of course. Perfect. Sense.
All Shadowland is is an evil version of Daredevil fighting various Marvel characters - the usual contrived scenario with too much loud dumb action with zero consequences. Though I did laugh when The Punisher showed up, said “Kung-Fu THIS” and unloaded his machine gun into a crowd of ninjas!
Billy Tan’s art is excellent - the black Daredevil outfit does look cool - and what little Bullseye stuff there was was also entertaining. But Shadowland is mostly mindless, predictably dull nonsense.
