Fans are obviously looking forward to the show more than ever, based on the post’s comments.LuisPereiaDTshared their excitement, saying, “That storyline slapped and its awesome that they are going this path when bringing the characters and universe again!”
“I have a feeling Marvel is making a comeback with this one.”GuruSaysSoadded.
“Nice,”FTWolf4said, “That should be a good story. Lots for people to think about and to compare to the real world.”
The leaks also make it clear the story will pick up fromEcho’s Devil’s Reign tease, featuring Wilson Fisk as Mayor and his anti-vigilante legislature. Earl’s character is seen wearing an arm patch that reads “Anti-Vigilante Task Force, New York City—Mayor Fisk.”
The dirty cop storyline was an early leak for Daredevil: Born Again. The season is said to feature a sub-plot focusing on a group of police officers who have adopted the Punisher’s logo and methods as their own. That puts them directly in the crosshairs of Frank Castle, who doesn’t want them to use his war as an excuse.
