What can we expect from Charles Soule's new take on Daredevil?

Devil's advocate

Marvel may have finally pulled back the curtain and unveiled their "All-New, All-Different" line-up, but details surrounding many books are still up in the air. Fresh off the back of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's critically-acclaimed run on the character, one of the titles comic-book fans are most looking forward to is the new Daredevil.

Due to hit the stands this October under the stewardship of writer Charles Soule (She-Hulk, Strongman, Swamp Thing) and artist Ron Garney (JLA, The Amazing Spider-Man), Marvel are promising a return to the noir-trappings that made Daredevil such a fan-favourite during the eighties and early-noughties.

In the words of Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso, Soule and Garney are "going to leap headfirst into noir -- delving into the darker corners of Murdock's world without getting lost in it."

Details on the plot, not to mention the identity of Matt Murdock's mysterious, staff-wielding apprentice, are being kept under wraps, but Soule took to twitter to briefly talk about his take on the iconic crime fighter, as well as give props to the current Daredevil creative team.

Following @markwaid and @ChrisSamnee is no joke, but @rongarney and I will do our damnedest to carry the torch. (And yes, pun intended.)

I'll talk more about my take down the road, but I've been thinking about my version of Daredevil for years and years. This will be that.

He talks about how he has been mulling over the character for a while, revealing that he has been weighing up his take on the character for "years and years",  before going on to confirm that Matt Murdock and his new partner would butts heads with some never before seen villains, described by Soule as "new" and "weird".

He also scuppered the rumour that DD would be teaming up with southern belle Gambit, assuring fans that the "devil's apprentice" seen on the cover is not the cajun X-Man.

Also - THAT IS NOT GAMBIT. More on that fellow soon.
