The hero you love with the fan-favorite creative team but in a new location leading to all new adventures. Matt Murdock goes west in a brand new Daredevil #1 this week.
Writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee take The Man Without Fear to San Fransisco.
“[Editor] Steve Wacker and I talked about it and we didn’t want to change too much about the book, because it’s working, but [since] we really wanted to be a part of All-New Marvel NOW!, what about changing venues? So we set up a situation at the end of this [current] run, [where] Matt has no choice but to move away from New York City. He goes to San Francisco because he’s been there before, it’s a visually interesting city and he’s got some history there,” Waid tells Marvel.com.
As Waid explains it’s not just a change of venue for Murdock:
“A little bit of a change of outlook. By the time he gets to the end of this run, in order to defeat the Sons of the Serpent, he’ll have had to have made a big personal sacrifice and while he will still continue to be guns-blazing, face-first Matt Murdock, it’s the first time in this sort of new life of his that he’s made some decisions that he’ll regret sooner rather than later.”
Waid has pitted Daredevil against classic rogues and non-Daredevil villains and says watch for more unlikely enemies in the next series.
“The two that Chris and I are most excited about getting to are Sandman and Stuntmaster. We love Stuntmaster. The “Evel Knievel” of villains. The evil “Evel Knievel.” There’s something wild about Daredevil fighting a guy on a motorcycle that I just really love.”
Law partner and longtime friend Foggy Nelson joins Murdock in the iconic California city. Look for Daredevil #1 this Wednesday. Here’s a hero panel from Chris Samnee and two variants:
