Well, that makes this volume's release even more sensible.

As Marvel's solicitations for April 2014 are released, they basically list everything we've been expecting, from Chris Claremont and Todd Nauck's Nightcrawler to Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's 50th anniversary of Daredevil, in Daredevil #1.50.

But there is one nifty surprise in amongst the listings. Despite the success of the current Brian Bendis Guardians Of The Galaxy, before the movie comes out, two other writers return to the characters, to prepare the way for the film that draws on much of their work… Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning return to the comic for one last time.
