We already knew that Marvel comics has an upcoming limited Bullseye series putting the spotlight on some of the Daredevil supporting cast members dubbed as the “Running with the Devil” initiative, but today Marvel confirmed in a press release that original Bullseye co-creator Marv Wolfman (Deathstroke) is returning to the character with art from Alec Morgan (Aquaman). In the press release Marvel released the slightest tease at the story explaining that Bullseye is on the hunt for sensitive Mafia information in a storyline spanning the globe.

The main story in the comic has already been announced with writing from Ed Brisson (Iron Fist) with art from Guillermo Sanna (Deadpool). The comic has been confirmed as a five-issue limited series debuting February 1 from the publisher covering New York City all the way to South Africa. The series picks up with Bullseye taking a break from villain-ing.

February is a big time for Daredevil as readers will finally discover how the status quo shift from Mark Waid (Captain America) and Chris Samnee (Checkmate) last issue transitioned into Charles Soule (Uncanny Inhumans) and Ron Garney’s (Captain America) run on the series in issue #17 and Kingpin and Elektra are also both getting ongoing series that same month! Matt Murdock returned to New York from San Francisco lacking his former girlfriend, Kirsten McDuffie as readers were introduced to Daredevil’s new pupil, Blindspot. It also seems that we will learn how Murdock’s secret identity has been forgotten? Look for more answers in Daredevil #17!

Bullseye was created in March, 1976 by Marv Wolfman and John Romita Sr. (Amazing Spider-Man) first debuting in Daredevil #131. Aside from a Daredevil villain, Bullseye has been a Major League baseball player and National Security Agent.

  1. >> original Bullseye co-creator Marvel Wolfman >>

    No no no no no.

    Marv-El Wolfman.

    The hyphen is important.

  2. Marv Wolfman’s Daredevil comics of the ’70s are great fun. And his Jester storyline, about media manipulation, eerily predicted the use of dead actors in new movies — as witness the CGI resurrection of Peter Cushing in ROGUE ONE.

    You could also say that storyline anticipated the current proliferation of fake news. Which many gullible members of the public believe.
