I’ve seen scripts for a couple of them so far and they’re fantastic."Īs the preview art reveals, Fisk's real motive is his desire to finally uncover Daredevil's secret identity.
One of the things that’s been stressed in my calls with Marvel is that we want to make sure there are stories to tell here that really spring out of the event and what Fisk does. "There are tie-ins-it’s an event after all-but we’ve kept it tight. Though Zdarsky reassured fans the scope of the crossover won't grow too large. To date, December's Spider-Woman #18 is the only confirmed tie-in issue, but it's safe to expect plenty more Devil's Reign content in early 2022. Naturally, with so many heroes and villains involved in this conflict, Devil's Reign is being treated as a full-fledged crossover event with tie-in issues and companion books. And Marvel superheroes aren’t about to overthrow democracy."
Sure, Thor could turn him into paste, but Fisk knows that and has planned for it. Zdarsky continued, "What makes Fisk an elevated threat is his mind, not his fists. But, beyond that, he has some aces up his sleeves that are definitely not about politics." "He’s a politician and he’s actually pretty good at it, which is a problem for our heroes. "He’s trying to sway the public using cherry-picked examples of various incidents, Matt’s recent troubles being one of them," Zdarsky said. For another, he'll be fighting the heroes in the court of public opinion, bringing to mind Marvel's more politically topical crossovers like Civil War and Dark Reign. For one thing, he'll be spearheading the newest incarnation of the Thunderbolts as a source of added muscle. That might seem like an impossible force for a non-superhuman like Fisk, but Zdarsky teases the Kingpin has more than a few aces up his oversized sleeve. Like, originally it was a big Daredevil story, and then it was suggested we make it a mini event and then when I submitted the first outline it became clear this is much bigger than Daredevil and the street-level heroes, so it got the green light as a big ol’ event!"ĭevil's Reign features a wide cast of New York-based heroes, including the Ben Reilly version of Spider-Man and members of both the Fantastic Four and Avengers. Zdarsky continued, "Part of what shaped the story is the fact that, when I pitched the Daredevil storyline to the Marvel editors and writers, the feedback kept making it bigger.

"But the fallout and what it meant for New York was something I worked on in the background as the series went along." "From the beginning I had Fisk's catalyst figured out, the thing that propels him to, well, lose it," Zdarsky told IGN. Now, he's ready to use both in order to rid the city of its costumed vigilante problem. Since becoming the duly elected mayor of New York City, Fisk has been quietly amassing both political power and an underground army of supervillains.
Zdarksy revealed that Devil's Reign isn't a Daredevil story so much as it is the culmination of Fisk's recent journey in the Marvel Universe. But with Wilson Fisk more powerful than ever, both devils will need a lot of friends to survive the coming days.

In Devil's Reign, Matt is now free again and sharing the mantle with Elektra. For example, in issue #1, a weary Matt Murdock committed manslaughter, and later in issue #26, Elektra took up the mantle of Daredevil after Matt turned himself over to the police. Zdarsky has made waves with his Daredevil run several times already.
