Thank you for the signatures!! Holy shit if all those BatMan 125's came from 1 sender there's a special place in hell for them and I imagine that place is them signing comics until they feel like they can't sign anymore and right when they get to the last one someone walks in and says "whoops forgot this box"
So the way to destroy Aka & the Hand is through their stomachs? Attack of the killer blanched tomatoes. I knew you wouldn’t let us down Chip. Thanks for the tease.
Dang it! I knew I forgot something! Will you be doing more signings in the future? I can't believe I missed my shot to clone my own Zdarsky(TM) from an errant beard hair innocently left behind on my Sex Criminals #1.

Wait I don't remember how to buy the Public Domain variant, is that still available? I bet not! Oh well.
Anyway, I randomly thought of this question today (and maybe it's really dumb, I promise I've read a lot of Daredevil!): Does Daredevil defend clients he knows are guilty?
On the one hand, he knows whether everyone is guilty or innocent with his handy built-in lie detector, but on the other hand he'd probably go broke as a general practice defense attorney if he only took totally innocent clients. On a third hand (this is like the twelve-finger guy from Charles Soule's run but with hands) he could get them off but then go beat them up and be like "Aaahh my dual identities are at war, what anguish" because he's great at that, but then on the FOURTH hand, people would probably start to talk if that Matt Murdock lawyer guy always knew who was innocent and who was guilty. Actually that last point might still be on the third hand. The real fourth hand is that I just can't see our guy Daredevil being like "Foggy we're going to use every trick in the book to get the Old Lady Killer out of prison and back on the streets! I'll beat him up as Daredevil but then he'll still be free, by my... HAND [triple pun.]"
I realize that this doesn't apply a ton to your run, particularly where it is now, but you're the only Daredevil writer I know! Also can't wait for the last issue of the Knight! I remember when it was but a secret project being teased in this very newsletter!
As for DD, I'd say yes. Lawyers are ethically bound to defend clients even if they know they're guilty. He could of course turn down a case, but I think after his last stint in prison he'd want to try and save his clients from having to spend too long in the system
See? Now I'm imagining DD only eats red foods, blanched or otherwise. Tomatoes. Pepperoni. Chili peppers. Rare steak. Red wine. But he doesn't know they're red. No leafy greens for the Man Without Fiber!
Also, glad to see you're maybe not totally burned out. Maybe next time I feel down my local comic shop hopefully will let me come in and sign your comics too!

Hi Danielle, thanks for the great question. 1: He can sense vibrations through the water as the slotted spoon dips in. 2: He moves the spoon around. If he hits metal he knows it's not a tomato. Take care.
love that matt is blanching those tomatoes with the suit on. tomatoes can be dangerous. gotta be ready at all times.

It was such a challenge to find the books I had that were written by you that meant the most to me. Thanks for all you do
Aw, you're sweet!
Great now I know Daredevil is going to blanch some tomatoes in a future comic THANKS CHIP.

I've properly expanded my username here so, going forward, you'll know who the brickbats are coming from.
sorry, Mark Waid who?
Look, be patient with me. It's hard to type while holding three Eisners and three Harveys.

See, kids? This is how to end a back-and-forth properly--by saying something nice. Thanks for the heads-up, Z.
