Checking comics news websites, I got a hunch when I saw that DD #100 wasn't listed in all places as being released on September 6th.

So I went to Marvel's place.

It comes out on September 12th, they say.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

I had dreamed that I could read in august the delayed #99 and then #100 right on schedule.

Then the release of #100 was moved forward to September 6th, which seemed adequate as it maintained the distance between issues. But now it's September 12th

Oh, right. It's just one more week. I suppose that as soon as I see Jazzy Romita Sr.'s pages, the tough wait will be a thing of the past.

I take consolation in thinking that the delays will allow Michael Lark some extra time to keep delivering the goods on the Art side.

Still... Ouch, ouch, ouch: It's a hard world for little fanpeople

While it IS a bummer that issue #100 has apparently been pushed back again, it will be 3x the size of a regular issue which will be nice!

I guess I'm sounding like Teddy Teague (who couldn't wait for his issue of the League), but yes, I try to gather fortitude Wink

from the fact that it will be a king-size dose of DD, and that the previews strongly suggest that these extra pages will be filled with goodness.

(But then the "without Fear" story will be interrupted -I imagine- by the October -November?- Annual, like World War I, this arch won't be "over by Christmas")

I'm always a little dissapointed when a book I'm looking forward to is delayed, but I'm actually not this time (well, not much anyway lol). In part because it's just a week, but also because this issue should be worth the wait for the fact that it's filled with so many extras alone, but also for the artwork. I hope it sells real well too.

I'm very hopeful that #100 will be a great issue that's well worth waiting for.

With the extra helpings of some classic artists in the upcoming issue, enough miniseries to keep things interesting without overexposing our hero, consistently fine writing by Brubaker (heck, he's even kept Matt alive) this is a great time to be a DD fan.

So, I just read this issue for an advance review at SBC. I don't want to go into specifics and spoil it, but it's a solid anniversary issue. It's great to see so many great Daredevil artists unite on this project, and their contributions feel very organic in terms of the way they fit into the story (and not as jarring as the different artists' panels in DD #50).

Also, the reprints of DD #90 and 91 give some background on Mr. Fear (and provide a nice Black Widow-centric story that I hadn't read before), and we get a few other nice extras too.

I hadn't read these reprinted issues before, so I enjoyed their inclusion here. Colan was great, wasn't he?

And yes, the guest artist segments are better integrated into the book (as you'll have seen in the previews, they get more than just one panel each, for a start!).

I'll let you know when the review is up, so that I can go into more detail about the issue.

Wait, so it the "triple sized" issue just a normal issue along with 2 reprinted issues? That's a little lame.

I'm not sure if Colan is my favorite artist on DD, he's up there though.

However, nobody ever drew the Black Widow as well as Gene Colan. These reprints will be a real treat.
