Daredevil, the long-running Marvel series that in recent years earned critical acclaim in the hands of creators like Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev, Ed Brubaker, Michael Lark and Andy Diggle, apparently will end in November with the conclusion of the "Shadowland" crossover.

That's according to the publisher's November solicitations, which uncharacteristically lists Daredevil #512 as the "FINAL ISSUE." Marvel typically doesn't announce cancellations that far in advance, suggesting there's something "special" in store; perhaps a miniseries interlude as Matt Murdock grapples with the ramifications of the "Shadowland" storyline, or a complete series relaunch. Daredevil returned to its original numbering in September 2009 with Issue 500.

"Shadowland," billed as "The Battle for the Soul of New York," revolves around a temple/prison constructed by Murdock, now leader of the Hand, to house the criminals who stand in his way of cleaning up Hell's Kitchen. His methods, however, bring him into conflict with many of Marvel's "street-level" heroes, including Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Moon Knight, Elektra and Ghost Rider. The crossover, which debuted in July, involves the core miniseries, Daredevil, Thunderbolts and numerous tie-in miniseries and one-shots.

In related news, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man will return to the original numbering abandoned a year ago with the relaunch of Marvel's Ultimate line. So instead of No. 16, November's triple-size 10th-anniversary issue will be No. 150.
