COMICS: New Daredevil And Punisher Creative Teams Revealed!
After much speculation, the new writers and artists of the two soon to be relaunched series' have been revealed at C2E2! Hit the jump for all the details and some great preview art...
Many thanks to Newsarama for the following quotes and images!
Daredevil? Writer Mark Waid, and artists Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin.
Waid joins the panel.
Waid said there's pressure, since Daredevil has been a "consistently well-written book" for the last decade.
"We want to keep the noir, we want to keep it gritty, we want to keep it street-level, Waid said. "But maybe not every issue has to end with me wanting to have a stiff drink."
"The question is, can we move the dial just a little bit up on the superhero scale, just a tiny bit, and get back to more of the swashbuckler adventurer for Matt," Waid said.
"Those guys are phenomenal," Waid said of Rivera and Martin.
Waid says the book will be "reinventing what the world looks like" through Daredevil's eyes.
The Punisher team is: writer Greg Rucka and artist Marco Checchetto.
