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.
