Here is an excerpt from Mark Steven Johnson at the WizardUniverse.com site, where he mainly talks about Ghost Rider, but had these things to say about DD2...

QUESTION: Will there ever be a "Daredevil 2"?

JOHNSON: I would just love it. I wish they would. I've spoken really bluntly on my feelings on the movie, and I do still love the movie, even with all its flaws. But Fox, for some reason they have it in their head that "Elektra" was a sequel to "Daredevil". I'm hoping that they'll still go ahead with it, or if not they'll give the rights back to Marvel, who has their own money now and can do their own thing and do it right. My dream would be to go back, reboot it and do a "Born Again" storyline. Maybe a Daredevil: Yellow, or at least a television series of Daredevil: Yellow, would be awesome. I think there are so many great stories to tell. Like I said, unfortunately I think they really thought "Elektra" would be the sequel, and it wasn't, obviously. That was a horrible movie. [Laughs] If that movie had done well, I think the third one would have been that. I'm really hoping so. I'm sure it will, eventually. I just hope it doesn't take too long.

For the one or two of you who are wondering just what is going on with Daredevil: Target...

From New Joe Fridays at Newsarama:

...to be honest I have no idea when we'll ever see this project finished. Adam Kubert had started doing some work on issue #2 but only really had the opportunity to touch on it slightly because of all of the other work we were giving him here at Marvel. Eventually he went off to DC and DD Target was just something he wouldn't be able to finish before leaving and with no further scripts from Kevin it was completely understandable. So, the current status for the project is that it's dead for now.

Brian Michael Bendis continues his creator interviews at the Wizard site, this time with current DD writer Ed Brubaker!

A highlight: There's a standalone issue that's all going to be told from the point of view of Milla and her relationship with Matt, and John Romita is doing the cover. It's going to be sort of an homage to old romance covers, and we actually got John Romita Sr. to do it.

Daredevil colourist Matt Hollingsworth has agreed to do an interview for the site and here's your chance to submit questions for him. So if you've got questions about Daredevil: Yellow, his work on the Bendis/Maleev run or his return to DD with Ed Brubaker's latest arc, please feel free to post them on the message board in the topic. I'll compile them all and send them to Mr. Hollingsworth. Thanks!

There is an interview with Tito Faraci and Claudo Villa on the comicus.it site that is in Italian. Franceso Previte has kindly translated the interview and passed it along to post here. Here's the link to the original:

Comicus.it

After Spider-man: Secret of Glass (with Giorgio Gavazzano), Dead on Arrival (with Claudio Villa) is your second Marvel project. This time around, the spotlight is on Daredevil and Captain America. How did you face the universe of Marvel super heroes this time?

Tito Faraci: It is a very different story. More than double the pages of the one with Spider-man. More aligned with the characters' continuity. Developed with a more continuous and effective coordination with the American comics company, and with Panini's staff [Panini is the Italian company who publishes Marvel titles]. The artist's style is a lot different. And so my was job. In Secret of Glass there was some sort of softness. But not in this story. It is a hard, struggled, dramatic tale, as, after all, was imposed by the type of characters featured in it.

In this new graphic novel, we see an old Daredevil foe back to life: the Death-Stalker. How did this start?

Claudio Villa: Since the times of the story with Diabolik, Tito and I still had this desire to tell something together. The rest was made possible thanks to a lucky astral conjunction which made our projects coincide with Panini Comics. will to "seed", "grow" and "harvest" a new "Italian" superhero story [pun on the Italian name of the character of Death-Stalker, dubbed "Il Seminatore di Morte", which translates as "The Death seeder"]. During the frequent reunions to plan the shape and "temperature" of the tale, the idea of using the Death-Stalker came up (to the director Marco M. Lupoi, I think). Maybe this idea was influenced by the fact that, in Tex [Tex is one of the most important and long-running comic titles in Italy], I had worked with another resurrected villain, Mefisto [a Tex villain, not to be confused with Marvel's Mephisto]. Besides an evident specialization in resurrections, it was stimulating to learn about and write such a feared and respected supervillain.
Faraci: I confirm, it was Marco M. Lupoi.s idea. I was very intrigued by the chance of reconnecting with important and traumatic events in Daredevil's life. I have given an internal re-reading of the Death-Stalker, from the inside of the character. I told about the suffering behind evilness.

If you were to summarize in a few words the story's fulcrum, which elements would you consider most important?

Villa: The comparison between DD and Cap, certainly not two peas in a pod.
Faraci: A dramatic conflict of interests. And of points of view.

Dead on Arrival is the first long story you sign together. How is your way of co-working? Is it different from the one you use for other series, like Brad Barron, Tex or Diabolik [classic Italian comics]?

Villa: The best and most important thing is the nearly continuous dialogue between me and Tito. A dialogue aimed to render every single nuance of the story. Since the beginning, the objective has been to create a work that had to be entirely shared by both of us. This is, on my side, not very different from the spirit I put in working on Tex, but in this case we start from a real friendship between me and Tito, developed well before we first worked together.
Faraci: I'm used to talking a lot with Claudio, and I often ask him some suggestions while I'm writing Tex. We enter into each other's work a lot. Quite a clash of hard heads (his is a lot harder though). Aside from this, to me he is a great artist and a big friend, not necessarily in this order.

What did it mean to you to work with some characters who have marked you, first of all, as readers?

Villa: I had the same feelings I already experienced with Tex. It was like a new exam, which I underwent, not without fears and worries, with the desire of seeing what "Claudio the reader" would've asked to "Claudio the artist" to be satisfied. Surely, finding yourself drawing the new American legends gives you lots of adrenaline.
Faraci: It's not the first time for me as well. I too had similar sensations with Tex. Certainly, Daredevil has been the first, the very first comic character I've ever read. It all started from there. I owed him much. And I tried to repay the debt somehow.

Dead on Arrival doesn't lack the atmosphere, the rhythm and, most of all, the action. How did you feel in illustrating a "Marvel style" story after years of intensive frequentation of the wild west setting in Tex, the comic book of which you're not only the cover artist, but also one of the prominent authors?

Villa: The most evident thing has been the "rust", in approaching the panel, that I had to shrug off of me. I had to make an effort to manage all the available space in a movable cage, different from the traditional and well known structure commonly used with the Ranger of ours. I'm still telling American tales, anyway. The tale of an America where Colt pistols have left the place to a billy-club and a solid shield, where a yellow shirt and a Stetson have been replaced by tight costumes and mysterious masks, where the grasslands and the rugged landscapes have been substituted by the skyline of an enormous city and the streets full of cars, as are seen by a man leaping agile between the buildings. It was like taking a breath from a mountain top, a dive from a higher cliff. It was like a dream coming true. A dream from which it feels good to wake up, because it leaves you with a memory in your pencil. a memory that fills better the dreams of those who want to keep on dreaming.

Thanks again to Francesco for translating the interview!

31/08 - [Kid-Friendly DD?]

Blog@Newsarama has an interesting question about DD... should a 7 year old child be reading the title?

Blog@Newsarama

If anyone could help me out with some art scans... basically I plan to make a new section devoted to real people who have appeared in Daredevil, or characters who are obviously based on real people... examples: Jann Wenner and Uri Geller have appeared in DD, and Stilt-Man (during the Bendis/Maleev run) looked like Bendis... if you've got scans and also pics of the real people, that would be great.

Also, as I'm sure most of you have noticed, I've fallen way behind in summaries for Volume 2. "Lowlife" has been done and I will post that soon, and I've already got volunteers for "The Devil in Cell-Block D", "Echo: Visionquest" and "Decalogue". Please e-mail if interested in writing a summary for any of the other arcs that haven't been written up yet. I would prefer a straight summary of the issues, but if you want to do a summary/review, that's okay.

Thanks, Kuljit.

In an update to a story posted earlier in the week, Newsarama has learned that Daredevil will be a part of the lineup of stamps that will be issued from the US Postal Service in 2007. Initially Elektra was one of the characters, but it appears that Daredevil #176's cover is the image, which features Daredevil, Elektra and Kirigi.

Press Release from Comic Book Ink:

What do THE X-MEN, CAPTAIN AMERICA and DAREDEVIL have in common? They are all written by WIZARD MAGAZINE TOP TEN WRITER, and Seattle Resident, ED BRUBAKER! And Tacoma, Washington's COMIC BOOK INK is lucky enough to be hosting a signing with both Brubaker and MICHAEL LARK...the FANTASTIC ARTIST of his DAREDEVIL!

"We feel incredibly lucky to be hosting this signing in September," said COMIC BOOK INK's owner, JOHN MUNN, "These two men have are at the top of their game...and that's saying something. Considering they have already created memorable stories and beautifully detailed art for the comic industry's 'Big Two' of MARVEL and DC."

ED BRUBAKER'S work DC COMICS includes such titles as SCENE of the CRIME and GOTHAM CENTRAL (with Michael Lark), as well as BATMAN, DETECTIVE COMICS, CATWOMAN and his creater owned SLEEPER. He is currently part of the creative renaissance at MARVEL COMICS; doing landmark work on THE UNCANNY X-MEN, CAPTAIN AMERICA and DAREDEVIL (with Michael Lark). His first creator owned work for Marvel, CRIMINAL, will debut under Marvel's ICON inprint in October of this year! He is a multiple EISNER and HARVEY AWARD Nominee. He is also the recepient of the 2000 PRISM AWARD and the 2004 GLAAD MEDIA AWARD...both for his work on CATWOMAN.

MICHAEL LARK'S work speaks for itself. His attention to detail, and stylistic noir, have earned him the reputation of a favorite with both industy fans and insiders. It was at DC COMICS where he first honed his strong narrative style...working on such titles as SCENE of the CRIME and GOTHAM CENTRAL (both with Ed Brubaker), as well as BATMAN, SUPERMAN, BOOKS of MAGIC, TERMINAL CITY and THE INVISIBLES. His current work on DAREDEVIL for MARVEL COMICS (also with Ed Brubaker) has captured the of both the gritty streets of New York and the grim interiors of prison life.

"The two men are wonderfully grounded in realism," Munn continued, "Their work is a perfect example of how the comic book industry has re-established itself with innovative ideas, crafted prose and groundbreaking visuals. To have them both here for a co-signing is a testament to the fans who have helped our store become a wonderful experience for the industry professionals who visit us."

COMIC BOOK INK was established in 2002 with the mission of being clean, open, inviting and family friendly. Since opening its doors in October of that year, it has hosted signings by Industry Giants as BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, CLAYTON CRAIN, ROBERT KIRKMAN and ADAM KUBERT. The shop and has also been nominated for the past two years for the WILL EISNER SPIRIT of RETAILING AWARD. Their first nomination occured in the shop's first year of eligibilty. This year brought their second nomination in which they reached the semi-finalist round out of over 3,000 comic book shops in the world.

"I still consider us to be a relatively young shop," Munn recognized, "But we are proud to be part of an incredible community of Comic Book Retailers in Washington State. We can only consider ourselves to be very fortunate to host such an incredible signing with both Mr. Brubaker and Mr. Lark!"

ED BRUBAKER and MICHAEL LARK will be signing their books at Tacoma, Washington's COMIC BOOK INK on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 2006 from 3:00pm until 6:00pm. Please contact the shop at (253) 761-4651 for further information.

Former Daredevil colorist Matt Hollingsworth posted this message on the Bendis boards... he will be coming back to Daredevil starting with issue 89!

Hey guys,

Just locked in the deal. I will be returning to Daredevil with issue 89, after a roughly two year hiatus. I will be the regular colorist again, this time working with Ed Brubaker, Michael Lark and Stefano Gaudiano, along with editor Warren Simons.

I previously worked with Ed and Michael on a comic at DC Comics called Gotham Central that some of you may have read. Since that time, we've all changed our approach a bit. So, this should be a chance for us to produce some new stuff that you will all, hopefully, dig. Warren and I also have worked together before, on Trouble, and I thank him for the chance to return to one of my favorite gigs ever, Daredevil.

There will be an addition to the Daredevil Vol. 6 hardcover coming in September. The "What If Karen Page Had Lived?" one shot will now also be included, according to Brian Michael Bendis in his recent WordBalloon.com podcast.

The Alter Ego Comic Cast has posted a new podcast with Ed Brubaker... check it out if you're interested...

Longtime site contributer Russell Lissau sent me this message about an anthology he's involved with, and Mack and Lark fans will want to pick up the book as well!

I'm pleased to announce that Ronin Studios' HOPE: NEW ORLEANS -- a nearly 200-page comic book anthology benefiting the Red Cross' Hurricane Katrina relief effort -- will debut with a special edition at the Wizard World Chicago comic-book convention in Rosemont, Ill., on Aug. 3-6.

Featuring cover artwork by David Mack (and a pinup by Michael Lark), the book has more than 30 short stories by more than 80 creators. All have hurricane or Gulf Coast themes.

I mention this to you because I've written a piece for the book. My story, PRESSING ON, leads off the anthology. It's a semiautobiographical story about a reporter in a hurricane-ravaged town, and it's illustrated by G. Gerald Garcia.

The WWC edition will have a cover price of just 10 bucks and will be available at the Ronin tables at Wizard World (#3072-3076 in Artists Alley). Signings and other events are in the works, too.

A regular release for comics shops is planned for the fall. It's debuting at the convention because the first anniversary of the storm is nearly upon us, and we figure Katrina will be on people's minds thanks to the ever-present media and the pending onsalught of ONE YEAR SINCE KATRINA stories.

We're all very proud of the book, and we hope sales will be strong enough to really help the people on the Gulf Coast. If you're coming to Wizard World, please consider stopping by the table and picking up a copy. If not, keep an eye at your local shop this fall.

More information about HOPE is at Ronin Studios

Thanks for your interest,
Russell

As for the whereabouts of Daredevil Father #6 Quesada said that he finished it two months ago, but in the interim, inker Danny Miki and colorist Richard Isanove continue to have other projects that they have to work on to get out monthly, and as such, progress on the final issue of the miniseries has been relegated to when they can find time among their other projects.

In a Civil War article, Ed Brubaker said...

On Matt Murdock:

I think Murdock is seen as the example of what happens to you when your identity becomes public.

On Daredevil:

In #87, it's going to be revealed who the other Daredevil is. That's going to be a major plot point in Civil War, too.

There's also a feature on Wizard's guesses as to who the mystery DD is... with comments from Brubaker (which you'll have to read in the magazine). Here were their guesses and the odds applied...

[This is probably going to be a long story...]

On January 16, 1996, this site was started as a way to pass the time between university classes and a way to learn a new language called "HTML". I had been collecting comics over ten years at that point. Daredevil had always been my favourite title. So, I made a pretty basic page, placing some really poor scans of DD I had (at this point I still had a hand scanner, so I could only scan small images). And there on my university server sat my first site.

And then something strange happened... people started writing to me, telling me that they were glad to see a Daredevil site. So I updated the site with the latest information. The J.M. DeMatteis storyline was winding down and soon, Karl Kesel and Cary Nord were going to take over. This thing called the Internet was taking off.

The day I knew that my site was much bigger than I imagined was when former DD writer Dan Chichester sent me an e-mail, praising my work and also telling me some things I had posted that were incorrect about his stories. An actual DD writer wrote to me. And that's how I began interviewing DD creators... over the years I've asked them all politely if they'd be interested, and for the most part, all have been very accomodating. Without this site, I never would have wrote the DD section of the Marvel Knights encyclopedia, and I'd never have had the chance to help out on the Daredevil DVD. I've never taken this luck for granted.

But the most important thing, for me, has always been the interaction I've had with all the people who've ever passed through or have been a regular visitor. DD fans are a passionate bunch, and I'm glad I've been able to help promote this comic, this character, this universe, for all these years. This is why I keep doing this.

As always, thanks for visiting. And thanks for reading.
