11/30 - Zdarsky & Checchetto Talk DAREDEVIL

The final issue of Volume 5 has shipped and we've got a long wait until February's relauch with writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto.

Marvel.com chatted with the new creative team to get some details about what's coming for Daredevil in the new series.

If you haven't read the ending of issue #612 yet, I'd advise you to skip this interview until you've done so... some spoilers ahead...

Some comments from Zdarsky:

"He’s trying to prove himself. That he can do the job. I’ve always loved the various tonal takes on DAREDEVIL, but for this run I’ve decided to really go deep on the realities of being a vigilante in this world. Out of all the main Super Heroes, Daredevil has felt like the one you could do that with. I don’t care to see a “reality-based” Fantastic Four (though as I type that I remember how much I loved UNSTABLE MOLECULES. The exception to prove the rule!), but I love the idea of a reality-based DAREDEVIL."

Some comments from Checchetto:

"I felt in love immediately with Chip's script. It's in pure Daredevil style. We love the same stories and characters and we have a similar vision for this series, how Matt has to look and his costume for example, or the page layouts. I like his storytelling -- it's very simple to work on his script, it's all perfect and measured. It's a joy when you can work with writers like him. The fact he is an artist too can help to find some visual idea. Chip did the first teaser of the series for example."

DAREDEVIL #1 by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto ships in February.
