Andy Diggle

Daredevil crosses a point of no return: he takes over the Hand and builds the Shadowland fortress over Hell's Kitchen. What starts as an attempt to reform the ninja clan becomes Matt Murdock's darkest reign, forcing Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and other heroes to intervene. Written by Andy Diggle and Antony Johnston with art by Marco Checchetto.

After Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn was handed the keys to Marvel's security apparatus. Andy Diggle's Thunderbolts: Dark Reign documents what happened when a mass murderer ran the government's sanctioned superhero team — a study in institutional corruption dressed as a superhero comic. The Thunderbolts under Osborn became Marvel's most morally compromised cast of the era. Collects 1,328 pages of Thunderbolts during the Dark Reign period.
