New ‘Daredevil’ creative team Saladin Ahmed and Aaron Kuder starts fall 2023

Listen to Chip Zdarsky and Saladin Ahmed discuss all things ‘DAREDEVIL’ on the latest episode of “This Week in Marvel.”

Press Release

The “This Week in Marvel” podcast had a doozy of a reveal this morning as they announced Saladin Ahmed and Aaron Kuder are taking over on the series with Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto exiting with Daredevil #14. Ahmed said the plan is to focus the next few story arcs centered on Matt, his people, in his world, and to bring in some familiar Marvel figures.

On writing the new book, Ahmed says, “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. 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!”

When asked what he will miss the most about writing Daredevil, Zdarsky said, “Working with Marco, honestly, and Matt Wilson on colors. It was such a joy having those pages come in almost every day. It feels like the right time to leave. You know, when you finish the story, it’s kind of when you should get off the stage. But it’s my longest run on anything in comics, and it will probably end up being my longest running anything in comics because of the kind of character that you just want to hold onto for as long as you can.”
