Just announced at C2E2 (and anticipated by Rich Johnston), Mark Waid will helm the relaunched Daredevil title, joined by artists Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin. Read the story at Marvel.com for more details--interestingly, Waid wants to amp up the superheroing (presumably compared to Bendis' epic run as well as Brubaker's, both emphasizing the crime aspect of Daredevil's world as well as his life as Matt Murdock). [UPDATED with link to a Newsarama interview with Waid, here.]
Waid gets very existential in this passage from the news story:
Matt's a man who desperately needs the order of law to give him the illusion that complex things that seem out of control—including, say, his life—can make sense. Matt's a man who wants justice for others because there's still a small but flickering flame in him that, while he's made his peace with it, knows how unjust it was that a young boy lost his sight just because he tried to help an old man across the street one day. Matt's a man who wants to believe that there's a purpose to everything in the universe, including the freak accident that changed him as a child; because if there's not a purpose and unity to it all, if everything really is random and unconnected, then that way lies madness and bitterness.
I'm definitely looking forward to this--Daredevil was my entry point into the Marvel world, and still a sentimental favorite.
