During his time writing Daredevil in the 2000s, Brian Michael Bendis often received letters from fans asking why he hated the Marvel Comics character, taking the writer to task for not giving him a break and wondering why he put the blind superhero through so much stress and hardship.

Starting in September, Daredevil will at least have some backup.

Bendis is adding Daredevil to his New Avengers lineup in Issue 16, out Sept. 14, to be teamed with such old friends as Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and others, some of whom haven't forgotten his actions during the recent Shadowland debacle.
