Now that Daredevil on tv is over, it's time for me to finally crack open my Chipnibus to see what the deal is with this blind lawyer!

SPOILERS: he's very sexy

Just flipped to the last page, interesting choice to end the story on him winning Sexiest Blind Lawyer Award. I do like the turn away from gritty Hell town, and having 20 different artists doing pinups? Genius. This is why we keep coming back for more.

hoping for hog reveal in a directors cut 🙏 not sure if your boss Michael Mouse would be ok with it though...

I’m putting all my chips (ooh, that wasn’t even intentional) on one bet. Howard the Duck is the key to everything that will happen in Armageddon.

Glad to see the response for MAD about DC has been so great. One of the few times when I hear something selling out is actually a good thing. Also, if I find out that the thing that Ben and Ross are shocked by in Armageddon issue 2 isn't a surprise sale Very Big & Very Tall men’s clothing store, I will be very disappointed.

So excited for arc 3 of your cap run, Chip. the twist on Doom, no lie, was not expecting, but by GOD it opens so many possibilities. I mean you do realize the opportunity Cap has here right? A young Victor Von Doom who is still growing, still learning and coming into the man he will, or might, become, now under the watch and possible guardianship of Steve Rogers!!? Dude! Steve has the chance to possibly influence one of the most influential/dangerous/powerful characters in all of MARVEL 616, and make him into something better than the Doctor Doom we know! A once in a lifetime chance!

Oh, and when did Ross finally crack the code to making as many hulk soldiers as he wants? Or rather, “WHO” cracked the code for him. Cause that jarhead couldn’t figure out how to work a centrifuge let alone mass produce hulk troopers like this.

Also I cannot state how excited I am for AA. Just a reminder, but how many issues will this be for again (not including any tie-ins)?

Armageddon is almost here, and I cannot wait to see who gets caught up in the destruction!

ARMAGEDDON is five issues! And for sure Ross has pals in the Pentagon who align with his beliefs who could help him with the Hulking...

RChatham92's avatar

Glad to know.

And that is interesting. Because for years scientists have been trying, and failing, to recreate the hulk process. Either someone new on the scene figured things out, or this secret was cracked a long time ago, and for reasons, was never utilized until now (and tbh I doubt Ross did this on the up and up. This feels too rogue for him to have gotten clearance to go about creating a strike team of hulk soldiers answering only to him).

And I am STILL thinking despite him being center as the main threat, he is not THE threat. Or at the very least he is unknowingly covering for something much more dangerous than him.

Chip Zdarsky's avatar

oh yeah, this is Ross going rogue. And who's to say the Hulk process isn't without its drawbacks?...

RChatham92's avatar

I know he has toed the line between hero and villain so often, even when he is an Avenger he sometimes pushes things, but is this, you think, going to be a definitive villain push from him for now on? Cause this feels like that moment when the guy thinking hes a hero, embraces the villain.

Also sorry if I am messaging too much. Nothing but rain outside and time on my hands, lol.

Chip Zdarsky's avatar

Ha! Nothing in comics is definitive. Look at the mass murderer Magneto!

RChatham92's avatar

Tbf that’s only due to the ridiculous popularity of the damn character that somehow he gets forgiven for all he’s done. Same things with Harley Quinn. Girl has bodies in her yet somehow she’s become a bat family associated character. So wild what popularity can do

YAY FOR MAD! EDITOR IN CHIEF CHAMP ZAMBONI COMING THROUGHHHH 🚂

Very excited for your new Marvel event (?), but I am curious: will there will be any crossover with a certain space-faring monarch preparing to invade? It does seem like Marvel is distracting from your book with 2 other events, both happening at the same time?!

Chip Zdarsky's avatar

No crossover! It just happened! Oops!

Very nice that Mad About DC received a second printing. Congratulations about making so many people angry Chip. Though not Red Hulk levels of angry. That would result in Armageddon 2 Gamma Ray Boogaloo.

Big round of cheers here when Cole North went south in the Daredevil Born Again finale. I was waiting for that all season. I hope North delivers lumps of cole on his peers too.

Oh and I posted our interview here too: (Thanks again for doing it.)

Have a good week, Chip!

Dear Chip,

This is great!

"What, me hurry?" is very funny.

Also very funny is "What exactly is distracting Ross and Ben Grimm here? Is it a surprise sale at the Very Big & Very Tall men’s clothing store?"

Maybe one of them is planning to open a competing store called "Ross Dress for MORE"?

You are great and all this is great. Thank you!

Love

Myq
