Can someone tell me why Marvel felt it necessary to have IF disguised as DD? Was it just to re-introduce IF?

In Daredevil's own book, Matt Murdock was inprisoned for being Daredevil (vigilantism, etc.) and was in Rykers Island. It turned out he was being played by Vanessa Fisk, the Kingpin's ex-wife, in an act of revenge and she hired Iron Fist to pose as DD while DD was in prison (a) to throw suspicion off Matt's being DD but also (b) to put Matt in a bind when Matt went to Europe to find Foggy's killer (he can't be two places at once) and throw suspicion back on Matt if Vanessa were to let the world know DD was in Europe.

So, that's why another DD. But why Iron Fist? I'm not sure. It may be they wanted to relaunch the character as he'd been appearing in other titles like DD's before and the new Dr. Strange mini series. Logically, there are very few heroes who could impersonate DD and pull it off. Maybe Cap, Iron Fist, Spider-Man...that's about it.

So joe, Cap or Daredevil? Which is the best mainstream comic out there? I'm sticking to daredevil.

Ummm...I think you've asked me this one before and I don't remember which I said. If I had to chose between them as the only comic I could read I'd have to say...















Damn, ummm....























....I guess....




























...ugh, this is hard...




























...okay, I'll say...





























...Daredevil is the best mainstream comic out there. But Cap is the best written character in comics (based on Brubaker's book, not based on Civil War).

The Iron Fist reintroduction appears to be a huge commercial and critical success. Check out this preview art for #3. Looks pretty sweet!
