Marvel Comics has confirmed a huge roster of talent who will join writer Chip Zdarsky on the landmark 650th issue of the Eisner-nominated Daredevil. This week the publisher dropped a new Daredevil #1 as both Matt Murdock and Elektra Natchios continue their journeys as Daredevil.
Next month, the most legendary artists from throughout Daredevil history, including Rafael DeLatorre, Alex Maleev, Paul Azaceta, Phil Noto, Chris Samnee, Klaus Janson, and Mike Hawthorne, will join Zdarsky and Checchetto in Daredevil #2 for a giant-sized celebration to mark the milestone 650th issue of Daredevil.
In the aftermath of Devil’s Reign, everything it has ever meant to be Daredevil has changed. Thanks to Elektra and her newfound role as the Woman Without Fear, Daredevil is more ambitious than ever. With a who’s who of creators from across the fabled character’s history (and some can’t-miss surprises along the way), this oversized epic will kick off the next year of Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s landmark run on Daredevil off in explosive style!
Take a look at the main cover art for the issue below:
“It’s not often that a comic gets to issue two these days, so… oh wait, it’s issue 650?! Well, in that case, I’m over the moon that we get to celebrate with so many legendary Daredevil creators!” Zdarsky said. “Daredevil is a title that has had so many amazing runs that it wouldn’t feel right to have an anniversary issue without inviting the people who made the book so special for so many years.”
Stay tuned for more announcements for creative talent who are joining the book. But for now enjoy this variant cover art by Gary Frank and interior art by Marco Checchetto.
