Axel-In-Charge: CM Punk at Marvel, Waid & Samnee Wrapping Up "Daredevil"

[UltimateTy]

Here's hoping Marvel procures a worthy team to succeed Waid and Samnee on Daredevil; which I personally hope will include Greg Rucka.

Rucka and Checchetto would be my dream team on Daredevil

That does sound good.

This. A million times over.

As someone that despised the idea of a lighthearted Daredevil book before Waid took over, I have to say that they won me over instantly. It's a shame to see that run ending, but I guess it's the old "all good things" saying.

Like I've said, I've enjoyed most of what Waid has done with Daredevil but I'm eager to see new direction.

I wish the interviewer asked why Marvel bothered relaunching Waid's Daredevil when they simply coulda waited for it wrap up then relaunch it. So I wonder if they're gonna relaunch Daredevil again when Waid leaves?

If I had to guess I'd say that they probably didn't expect that Waid would be leaving DD in a year when they relaunched it. I would be willing to bet that they will relaunch it again after Waid leaves.

Thank god Waid's run is over, I couldn't stand any more "Blind Spider-Man" stories.

[legion_quest]

Waid leaving DD and no new Young Avengers any time soon......

Well done Marvel, that's two head shakings in one interview

[Hypestyle]

How do I get to one of these parties where CM Punk met Mr. Alonso?
.. side note.. I wish Priest would return to writing for Marvel.. and not on a "fringe" character.

Can't believe that Mark Waids run on Daredevil is actually ending. I've loved Daredevil for ages since the start of his run and am totally bummed outt that its all going to end soon. Damn.

Fingers crossed for a new series by Soule and Aja.

Oh my God, are those Phil Noto pages beautiful!

Agreed. Sorry to see Elektra go (and confused how the series could have "blasted off the shelves" when it's clearly being canceled because of low sales), but very glad Black Widow's solo series is at least sticking around!

[Flash Gordon]

I've really enjoyed Waid/Samnee's DAREDEVIL but I'm looking forward towards a new direction for Matt Murdock.

Greg Rucka is the dream, if allowed to do a lengthy run.

"I mean who can't think of a book that shouldn't have been cancelled?"

Disney executives?

Great article. All these new solo books with Spider-Woman and Silk are promising. I just hope these solo books can last because they never seem to last long unless Captain America or Wolverine are on the title. But I think Superior Iron Man might be the best of the bunch. I also like how Alonso is approaching it.

Alonso: Well, everyone knows about Tony Stark's enormous ego, so to see him really succumb to it -- that's fun stuff. But this isn't Tony in full-blown, mustache-twirling villain mode, he's just an uber-capitalist inventor that believes he's giving people what they want -- a chance at perfection -- and is going to charge them a premium for it. Just like the last time we saw Tony in Machiavellian territory -- "Civil War" -- some fans will disagree with him and some will side with him, or at least see the upside of his point of view.

This is a nice assessment of the situation in Superior. He's not a villain. He's not a hero either. More than anything, he's a businessman and he's got a product that works way better than anything anyone has ever given the people. Who among us wouldn't be tempted to try Extremis 3.0? Tony knows how well it works. He knows it'll be profitable and it'll allow him to indulge as only he can. But if this is like Civil War, I just hope that it doesn't end in him getting his mind wiped. That would waste a perfectly good plot here. It has some major implications and I'd like to see what it does for his character and the Marvel universe in the long run.

Well this answered my question about CM Punk lol. I am kinda interested to see what he's like as a writer, though I would've bought the Thor Annual either way lol.
