DAREDEVIL #650 Will Bring Back Legendary Creative Team Ann Nocenti And John Romita Jr. For New Stries

Earlier this week, Marvel Comics shared a first look at Daredevil #2, the milestone 650th issue arriving next month. In that, legendary creators from throughout the Man Without Fear's history will join writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Marco Checchetto for a giant-sized celebration.

Amongst an all-star lineup of talent will be two visionaries who had a profound impact on Daredevil's legacy: writer Ann Nocenti and artist John Romita Jr.! The pair of comic powerhouses will make their grand return to Hell's Kitchen, paying homage and revisiting their hard-hitting and beloved late 80s run on the title.

Known for tackling real-world issues, Nocenti will spotlight Daredevil’s complex relationship with the inhabitants of Hell’s Kitchen and the dire changes on the horizon in a story drawn by Chip Zdarsky himself. John Romita Jr., meanwhile, will draw a riveting sequence for the book's main story that stars one of Nocenti and Romita Jr.’s most iconic creations, Typhoid Mary.

"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 recently said of the issue. "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."

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 kicks off the next year of Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s landmark run in explosive style.

Check out some interior artwork from Nocenti and Romita Jr.'s stories below, and experience the epic 650th issue of Daredevil when it arrives in comic book stores on August 17.

Loved John Romita Jr. in the 80s and early 90s but it hurts to look at his work today.

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - exactly THIS. His stuff was razor-sharp back then.

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - Will you save me up for making a comment so I’ll just agree with yours. I loved his work on Iron Man in the late 70s, I believe with Bob Layton doing the inks.

Eh. I disliked basically all of his DC work except All Star Batman (which looked stellar), but I think his style usually fits Marvel like a glove. Maybe it's the Jack Kirby-ishness of it.

@RolandD - wow! I only remember Bob as a write. I loved his work on Iron Man in the 80s.

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - I think he did a lot of covers then, too as in pencil and inks.’

@RolandD - YES! I remember his signed autograph on the cover of Iron Man issues. I was a huge X-Men, Thor and Iron Man fan in the 80s.

Hope MCU brings back some of those NETFLIX Marvel villains' in Echo, SECRET WARS, THUNDERBOLTS, etc one can argue they are better than the DISNEY+ villains we've seen so far (outside of maybe KANG who well see more of) and just imagine them with better writing:Elektra ,Shades (Luke Cage),Will Simpson (Jessica Jones),Ben Poindexter,Billy Russo,Bushmaster (Luke Cage),Mary Walker (Iron Fist),Madame Gao(maybe in SHANG CHI 2) ,& Kilgrave (Jessica Jones)

Please no. Netflix Jigsaw was a joke (and dead), Netflix Elektra was boring (and dead), Will Simpson is forgettable and nothing like his comics counterpart, and Typhoid Mary definitely deserves a better live action counterpart.
Darkknight2149
Darkknight2149 - 7/17/2022, 5:11 PM
How about:

Comic accurate Typhoid Mary



A version of Jigsaw that isn't the "Netflix adaptation" meme.

Even if they have to call him something other than Billy Russo, such as John Saint, Billy Russoti, "The Heavy," or something.



A more interesting Elektra



Probably someone other than Will Simpson

@Darkknight2149 - Dude you clearly didn't read I said with better writing I'd like to see some of these actors reprise their roles...but then again after THOR 4 what makes you think we'd get comic accuracy

@HAUSMAN01 - they should bring Gareth Evans as the new director for the new Daredevil series/movie. His style fits with Daredevil's style, other than batman.

@solskulldeath - Now that I concur with

Loved that combination back in the day - Ann Nocenti brought in a whole new level with they young 'street urchin' element - a bit like Doyle/Sherlock Holmes 'Baker Street Irregulars', and John Romita Jr art was magnificent. I loved the double-page art, thin-outlines and movement. Then he seemed to lose interest.

I was a big fan of John Romita Sr. Jr's artwork doesn't hold a candle to it. Sorry, not a fan...

@76cidgrad - I loved his earlier work but then he got real cartoony in my humble opinion.

I own the first Typhoid Mary arc. It was amazingly done from Nocenti

I absolutely love John Romita Jr's artwork! I think he needs a different inker!
