My first thought upon seeing the promo art was, Daredevil with Ghost Rider powers?! Sign me up! And Marco Checchetto does great work so very excited about that, awesome! I’m also happy that J. Totino Tedesco is doing the covers. But I was puzzled by the writing choice as I thought Chip Zdarsky was a Spider-Man guy who only liked lighter superhero books with him writing Howard the Duck, Starlord, and Spectacular Spider-Man.

That’s what I thought as well.

And that surprises me, but in retrospect, it shouldn’t have.

Actually, he used Daredevil so often in Starlord he was a full-fledged supporting character. And he showed up in his Howard the Duck too, now that I think of it. In both of those, his Daredevil was charming, serious and very heroic.

Zdarksy called Soule’s run “legendary” on Twitter and said he knew what Soule was writing so he could coordinate his start with Soule’s end. He also sold this upcoming series to Previewsworld.com as “dark and a little twisted.” So like Soule before him, this might be a case of the author altering their writing to match the expected tone of the book instead of the writer changing the character to match their own writing style. Meanwhile, Checchetto has his Miller out for reference while he’s drawing as shown on his Twitter, so that's going to factor in too. We’ll see.
In any case, I have to give Zdarsky props for soliciting interest and then doing 55 individual Facebook videos for comic shops to sell them on the book as that’s a lot of work. Clearly, he’s passionate about this project so hopefully that translates onto the page as well. Next month will be interesting! |
