Next month, a giant-sized Daredevil comic will celebrate the Man Without Fear’s 650th issue. Daredevil #2 continues Chip Zdarsky’s and Marco Checchetto’s darkest Hell’s Kitchen era to date. For the milestone issue, Zdarsky and Checchetto team up with some of the legendary artists throughout Daredevil history. They include Rafael DeLatorre, Alex Maleev, Paul Azaceta, Phil Noto, Chris Samnee, Klaus Janson, and Mike Hawthorne.
What Will This Giant-Sized Daredevil Be About?
Yesterday’s Daredevil #1 kicked off Zdarsky and Checchetto’s new era of the Man Without Fear. Following the aftermath of Devil’s Reign, what it means to be Daredevil has changed. Especially now that Elektra has taken on the role of the Woman Without Fear. As such, Daredevil is more ambitious than ever before.
Daredevil #2 kicks off an explosive new run for Daredevil. With an amazing lineup of talent from throughout Daredevil’s history, and some big surprises in store, this giant-sized Daredevil issue shouldn’t be missed. After all, the anniversary issue is setting up the tone and story for Zdarsky and Checchetto’s next acclaimed run.
650 Issues Is Crazy!
Speaking with Marvel, writer Chip Zdarsky shared his amazement at celebrating 650 issues of Daredevil. As he puts it, “it is not often that a comic gets to issue two these days…oh wait, it’s issue 650?!” As such, he is over the moon to celebrate with so many of the legendary Daredevil creators that made the Man Without Fear what he is today.
Continuing his excitement, Zdarsky shares that Daredevil is a series that has had “so many amazing runs.” Because of that, it would not feel right to celebrate an anniversary issue without bringing in everyone who made it so special. All of this talent merges to usher in a new era of Daredevil that will be unlike anything ever seen before.
The giant-sized Daredevil issue is on sale Wednesday August 17th.
