Yes, Kevin Smith has returned to the Knights -- and to the character that first brought him to Marvel! You see, during Kevin's run as writer of DAREDEVIL, the psychopath known as Bullseye killed Karen Page, the woman that Matt Murdock loved. And if you think that DD is going to let the insane assassin get away with it... well, you just don't know the Man Without Fear! The grudge-match of the year kicks off on November 13th in the pages of DAREDEVIL: THE TARGET #1! Just look for the painted cover by series' artist Glenn Fabry!

And if it's more Horn Head action you crave, "The Trial of the Century" continues just a week later in the pages of DAREDEVIL #39! Will the White Tiger be charged with murder? How can Matt Murdock defend him, while he himself is currently accused of being a costumed vigilante? Brian Michael Bendis and Manuel Gutierrez will be waiting for you in the courtroom on November 20th!

Ditto!

Wow, stunning art.... it seems digitally colored in areas, but I'm thinking it's a hybrid of paint and digicolor? Anyway...

I could only ask that Bullseye is in his traditional costume, but ah well...

Okay Marvel needs to make up its mind. Either we are using everystory the character has ever been in or we are slimming down the backstory. Why would you bother to movie-ize Bullseye's costume if you are going to refer to DD's blue ninja outfit?

Using the "movie-ized" version of Bullseye's outfit doesn't necessarily negate the past. The comic book X-Men have scrapped their spandex and now wear uniforms similar to their movie version. Chalk it up to a simple change of outfit, that's all.

And why should choosing to movie-ize Bullseye's costume have any impact on Daredevil's, past or present?

[Joel Harris]

Well... changing costumes isn't that small of a deal, really. I wouldn't say chalk it up to a "simple change of outfit" if they put Captain America in a leather biker jacket and chaps or something. It's part of what makes them identifiable.... imo, of course.

The interior art on this book didn't thrill; perhaps Gregarious Glenn should stick with covers.

And the characterisation doesn't exactly mesh with the monthly book. It's sort of like reading the conclusion to 'B.Wayne: Fugitive' then encountering the Loeb Batman: "Oh, my aching back. OO-er! I've fallen off the Batrope!"
