'Daredevil: Reborn' series announced

Marvel Comics has announced a new Daredevil miniseries which launches in January, spinning out of the conclusion of current Marvel event Shadowland.

Daredevil: Reborn was unveiled at Fan Expo Canada by Marvel Comics manager of sales and communications Arune Singh. Comic Book Resources reports that although the plot and characters of the miniseries are yet to be revealed, current Daredevil scribe Andy Diggle will be writing the new series.

The announcement comes after a number of teaser images were released by Marvel asking who the new 'Man Without Fear' will be, with one character's name in particular being mentioned.

"It feels like it's time for a Gambit book," senior editor Steve Wacker said about the longtime X-Men character. "I love the visual - Gambit has been on my mind a lot lately."

The anouncement of the Daredevil: Reborn series strongly hints that Matt Murdock will no longer be Daredevil at the end of Shadowland. It was also announced that any fallout from the series will be explored in a title called Shadowland: After The Fall.

Daredevil#512 marks the end of the current series, with a shocking conclusion promised for the finale.
