 Mike Allred joins Matt Fraction on the Marvel NOW! FF title out this November but you can see the fan favorite artist on another Marvel icon. The Madman creator brings his signature style to Daredevil #17 out this week.

 “Daredevil is my favorite current title. I’ve always been a huge fan of Mark’s, and he knows that. I don’t think he’s ever been given his due. He’s always been acclaimed, but never to the degree I think he’s deserved. It’s thrilling to be a part of this with these artists. As an outside observer, I felt like I had to let somebody know how special I thought this title was. To be able to join in even some small way is incredibly thrilling,” Allred tells Marvel.com.

 Writer Mark Waid has thrown some old school and non-traditional enemies at Matt Murdock. Waid is bringing back a classic for Allred to draw.

“The villain for Mike’s issue is Stilt-Man. Of course it’s Stilt-Man! He’s the perfect villain for a Mike Allred story. On the surface of it, a goofy costume and goofy powers. On the other hand, if you were at the bottom of the Hudson River pinned down by one of those legs, he doesn’t seem so goofy,” said Waid.

Mike Allred on the new FF

  Matt Fraction revealed he’s taking the Fantastic Four on a family vacation into space with artist Mark Bagley. While Marvel’s First Family is away the Earth will be protected by the FF with artist Mike Allred. Fraction’s backup team includes Ant-Man and Medusa of the Inhumans. The Madman creator tells Marvel.com why he joined the FF.

  “When I was approached with a project starring one of my all-time favorite, and vastly under-rated, characters, Ant-Man, I leapt out of my shoes. Literally. Those shoes are ruined now. Ant-Man has been there from the beginning. One of the very first Marvel heroes, folks; I think the first or second behind the Fantastic Four. Most people don’t know that.

  Then add claiming the Baxter Building with my fave Marvel lady, Medusa, big and sexy She-Hulk, and one of the cleverest creations in recent memory, Miss Thing—now I’m almost out of my skin. Fortunately that’s just a figure of speech. I’m still tucked nicely away into my skin.

  Seriously, I’m going nuts with excitement. I’m living the dream I dreamt when I was a kid, laying on the living room floor making comics with my big brother Lee.”

I have to agree with Allred’s excitement for Medusa – I love her too. Here’s the link to Matt Fraction revealing his take on the Fantastic relaunch.
