History ComicBook / Shadowland

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bullseye has both arms broken and gets impaled just like he did with Elektra. Becomes cathartic in light of ''ComicBook/DarkReign'' and the atrocities he committed, either by himself or in Osborn's name. Made effective with [[DirtyCoward the shitless scared look on his face]] before he's killed.
-->'''Bullseye''': [[VillainousBreakdown W-wait... Th-this ain't... ain't like you... Y-you wouldn't--]]

* BigBad: The Beast of the Hand, the demon served by the [[{{Ninja}} Hand]], who is [[DemonicPossession slowly possessing]] [[Characters/DaredevilMattMurdock Daredevil]] as his attempt to lead the Hand and turn it into a force for good [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes terribly arwy]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the current ''ComicBook/HeroicAge''.

* AssholeVictim: Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} completely loses his shit and murders Bullseye after dislocating his arms. This was supposed to show that Daredevil was descending into darkness, but [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic it backfired as most people wanted Daredevil to actually kill the man who blew up a block in Hell's Kitchen and gloated over it.]]

* BadassNormal: Comicbook/MoonKnight and Punisher to name a few.

* EnemyMine: Kingpin summons Comicbook/GhostRider to help him, as well as ComicBook/LukeCage and the ComicBook/IronFist, to take down Daredevil.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bullseye has both arms broken and gets impaled just like he did with Elektra. Becomes cathartic in light of ''Comicbook/DarkReign'' and the atrocities he committed, either by himself or in Osborn's name. Made effective with [[DirtyCoward the shitless scared look on his face]] before he's killed.

* FallenHero: At the beginning of Creator/KevinSmith's run on ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, Karen Page was stuffed into a fridge in ''Guardian Devil''. Then, Creator/BrianMichaelBendis took over and his identity was exposed to the public, eventually, he was incarcerated for obstruction of justice. After beating the rap, his new wife, Milla, suffered a psychotic breakdown, and the marriage dissolved (Matt cheating on her with Dakota North happened in between). By the time Lady Bullseye started to kill his closest allies to resurrect them as zombie ninja slaves, Matt finally said "screw this" and abandoned his life as Matt Murdock to become the leader of the Hand. Though still a TechnicalPacifist, the crossover ''Shadowland'' changed this with Marvel promoting Daredevil as the new "greatest super-villain of the Marvel Universe".

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Daredevil's attempt to reform the Hand as its new leader in the ''ComicBook/{{Shadowland}}'' storyline failed horribly [[spoiler: after the Hand's ''true'' leader, the demon known as The Beast, possessed him.]]

''Shadowland'' is a 2022 comic book event from Creator/MarvelComics, a CrisisCrossover set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, and written by Andy Diggle with art by Billy Tan.

''Shadowland'' is a Creator/MarvelComics crossover published in 2010.

Set after the events of ''ComicBook/{{Siege}}'', Shadowland follows ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} and his life after his FaceHeelTurn.

The series is divided into a five-part miniseries, a three-part ComicBook/MoonKnight mini, a four-part mini about a new [[ComicBook/LukeCage Power Man]] and a few one-shots following ComicBook/{{Bullseye|MarvelComics}}, ComicBook/{{Elektra}}, ComicBook/GhostRider and ComicBook/SpiderMan, plus tie-ins to other titles, including ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}''.

* BatFamilyCrossover: All the Street-Level superheroes from Marvel AKA the Marvel Knights. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Wolverine]]

* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Pretty much everyone. But the cake goes to the killers in the "Blood on the Streets" miniseries. How exactly a quartet of detectives just happen to have enough training to use ninja weapons to take out armed thugs and bodyguards is completely unexplained.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Daredevil's new costume is [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver all black with wrist blades, longer horns and red lining]]. Lampshaded by ComicBook/SpiderMan, who points out he's an expert when he says black costume switch always ends bad.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bullseye has both arms broken and gets impaled just like he did with Elektra. Becomes cathartic in light of ''Comicbook/DarkReign'' and the atrocities he committed, either by himself or in Osborn's name. Made effective with [[DirtyCoward the shitless scared look in his face]] before he's killed.

* PrepareToDie: this line is delivered to Master Izo, leading to the awesome answer "I was preparing before you were born".

After Matt Murdock became the leader of the Hand, it was his turn to take over New York City. Matt slowly begins to show that he's JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope, first by building a temple/prison in Hell's Kitchen (the eponymous "Shadowland") and then by ''killing'' Bullseye. Eventually, it's revealed that Daredevil has actually been possessed by a demon called "the Beast." When Iron Fist manages to exorcise it from Matt's body, Matt kills himself before it can take control again. In the aftermath, Elektra steals his body to resurrect him like she was once resurrected.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Teasers for the series carried the tagline "Witness the birth of the Marvel Universe's greatest villain". [[spoiler:Matt is ultimately redeemed by the end of the story.]]
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: As the BigBad, Daredevil's gotten a pretty big boost in power to contend with the other street-level heroes who are usually a bit above him in terms of strength. [[spoiler: This boost is the first hint that Daredevil isn't really Matt, but rather him under DemonicPossession]].

* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Rather, the ''organization'' behind the man: it was the Snakeroot that summoned the demon that possessed Daredevil and turned him evil so that he could serve their purpose.]]

* ConservationOfNinjitsu: It doesn't take much to kill the Hand Ninja.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bullseye. Let's just say that all he ever did (especially during ''Comicbook/DarkReign'', which had just finished) finally comes back at him. Made even more effective with the shitless scared look in his face before he's killed.

* OhCrap: Bullseye when he realizes that Daredevil's no longer adherring to ThouShaltNotKill.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Bullseye. Let's just say that all he ever did finally comes back at him. Made even more effective with the shitless scared look in his face before he's killed.

* BreakTheCutie: After all the years, Daredevil has finally snapped.
** Of course, Daredevil hadn't been "the Cutie" for decades - his definitive story arch basically involved destroying his entire life and every writer since then seemed to think they could only make their mark by torturing him worse than the last guy - but he did start out as a lighthearted character before the conga line of pain started.

** Of course [[JustifiedTrope Wolverine is Marvel's best expert at fighting The Hand, after Daredevil himself.]]
