The Story:
If great stories (that Daredevil clearly has) will not make him more popular then what's the point? Marvel will keep dishing out great stories that features the Man Without Fear, but it won't make him more popular. If it will then why hasn't it yet? In 2011 what made me a little bit more interested in The Fantastic Four? When Spider-Man joined the team, of course! So why doesn't Marvel take almost the same approach with Daredevil? Have Daredevil team up with a popular hero like Spider-Man! But I don't mean a one issue team up or a mini series. What I mean is actually have Spider-Man join Daredevil for a little bit.
The series is called Daredevil's Web. The series will not be super long, just about 50 issues. What happens in the series? Well...I'm not telling! So na na na na boo boo!!!
...I'm just kidding. What happens is Daredevil starts to hallucinate his father, Jack Murdoch. It starts driving him crazy. So crazy that he picks a small fight with his legal partner, Foggy, and even punches him in the face. Because of all this craziness that he is feeling, Matt Murdoch decides to stop being Daredevil and throws his costume in the trash. Luckily, a boy or spider thing (you decide) finds his costume. Spider-Man then takes the costume back to Matt and tries to convince him to be Daredevil once again.
After many failed attempts to get Daredevil back in action, Spider-Man discovers that an alien invasion is about to happen being led by the villainous, Mysterio. Spider-Man convinces Daredevil to help him take Mysterio down. Once they do, they learn that Mysterio was the one that put holograms around the city to try to drive Daredevil mad. Mysterio also tells them that he was paid to do this task by Wilson Fisk.
So, Spider-Man and Daredevil go to Wilson Fisk's hideout and try to take him down. But, they get greeted by villains such as Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Shocker, and Bullseye. Daredevil and Spidey try to defeat all of them, but fail. However, the villains didn't necessarily succeed either. You see, once Wilson Fisk found out that Daredevil and Spider-Man had the upper hand, Wilson Fisk hit the self destruct button on his hideout and tried to get away in his helicopter. But as his helicopter is about to take off, Daredevil swings his billy club and attaches to the bottom of his helicopter and flies away with him (and pretty much forgetting that Spider-Man is still in the building when its about to explode). While attached to the helicopter, Daredevil climbs in and causes the helicopter to crash on the top of a cliff. They both do survive, but barely. Daredevil nearly chokes Wilson Fisk out with his bare hands until Fisk tells him that it wasn't his idea.
Fisk was paid off to assassinate or capture as many heroes as possible by....Doctor Doom! Though this is powerful information...it was a little too late. Fisk has already captured most of the heroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Fantastic Four, and most of the X-Men. Spider-Man then nearly escapes the blown up building and catches up with Daredevil. Daredevil tells Spider-Man what Fisk told him. Though Spider-Man is furious with Daredevil for leaving him with all those villains and with the building blowing up, Spider-Man decides to go with Daredevil because with great power comes... predictable quotes that you know the rest to.
Daredevil and Spider-Man then tracks down Doctor Doom. Spider-Man does end up getting captured by Doctor Doom, however. But Daredevil defeats him before he ends up enslaving the Earth. Which means that all of the heroes are saved thanks to Daredevil.
