Updated: Daredevil to Join the New Avengers in Issue #16
New Avengers scribe Brian Michael Bendis has revealed in an exclusive interview with USA Today that Daredevil is set to join the roster of the New Avengers in issue #16 of the series, which is due out on September 14th, 2011.
“He’s got a lot to answer for and a lot to deal with,” Bendis told the paper. “He is a fish out of water on the Avengers, and that’s uncomfortable and damn fun to write.”
“He needs to rediscover his relationships with the other Marvel characters, and the New Avengers team is filled with a lot of characters he has a lot of history with — some good history and some bad history, and that makes for what we writers call ‘awesome drama.’”
