Marvel’s ongoing Daredevil series will get a new creative team in September. Writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto will wind up their run on the title in August 2023 with Daredevil #14, and writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Aaron Kuder will pick up in September 2023 with Daredevil #1.
“I wanted to only take this job on if I felt like I had a new, unique take on Matt and on Hell’s Kitchen,” Ahmed said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “And so that’s at the center of this… him and his world, but it’s the Marvel Universe. What I’ve really enjoyed in talking with other editors, other offices, is finding ways through these first couple of arcs we have planned to keep this centered on Matt, keep this centered on his people, in his world, but to bring (in a very organic and surprising fun way) some familiar Marvel figures that I think are going to blow people’s mind when they pop up on the page!”
Zdarsky and Checchetto’s Daredevil was just nominated for a 2023 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series, and Zdarsky was also nominated as Best Writer for his work on that title as well as Image’s Stillwater (see “ICv2 Columnist Rob Salkowitz Nominated for Eisner Award”). The pair took over on the title in 2022 (see “Preview: ‘Daredevil’ #2 (#650)”).
A new Daredevil series, Daredevil: Born Again, will debut on Disney+ in 2024 (see “‘Daredevil: Born Again’“).
