Chip!! Third eye!! It’s in Maryland!! I LIVE IN Maryland!!! I’m so excited to meet you in person (again!) !!
Your daredevil run is one of my favorite comics of all time. Elektra’s story arc was my favorite part. Her and Matt’s relationship was so well written. And devils reign!! Wow!!
Oh that cover is gold, Chip. I love it. After reading your older Steve in Avengers Twilight, I think you’re the only person qualified to write Captain America right now. Looking forward to it.
((( Ewww. PM Wayne Gretsky. Noooo. I’ll stick with Bobby Nystrom as far as hockey players with heart (and Bob is half-Canadian and his first name is Thore. His super heroic origin kind of writes itself.) Um… tangent. Boo, Wayne Gretsky.)))
ZCN because the internet sucks. Glad ZCN has gained traction because it’s wonderful and does exactly what you intended it to do: Educate, illuminate, and um, desecrate.
Thanks for sharing the weekly goodness. Please tell the AI to take a hike and I hope you have a nice week.
Happy you’re back at Marvel. Looking forward to what’s next.
Can't believe Matt Fraction swooped in to not only steal Batman from you, but also Jorge as well.
But in all seriousness, I'm genuinely looking forward to both Matt and Jorge's relaunch of Batman and the new Captain America series by you and Varlerio. I adore the voice you gave Steve in other books like Devil's Reign or Avengers: Twilight, so I can't wait to see what you have planned for him in this new ongoing. Plus that variant by you looks absolutely goregous.
My wife and I just watched the first episode of Daredevil. Disney+ kept trying to get us to watch episode 2 and I was like no, no. First of all, it’s too late to watch another episode of Daredevil, I need to go to bed, I have to work to continue to have money to give to Zdarsky. Second of all, I must wait to see Chip Zdarsky’s name in the credits. Since I am a mid-30s boomer, I was too late to take a photo of it and cheer for you on Instagram dot com to prove I waited. HOWEVER! I have burned it into my brain. It was in the bottom right corner. They saved the best for last.
And then I went and bought your Daredevil omnibus vol 1, which will be my first ever Daredevil collection to read (I am a mutant stan, first and foremost, they are mi familia).
going to add cap to my pull and request your cover unless it's like a 1:100 variant because I imagine it'll be about $750 with tariffs. I did see some images of his new suit and I'm glad his ears are covered. how has he not lost one with all he's been through? feel free to use that if you want. and if anyone has an "issue" with a Canadian writing cap they can track down a powerful, hung butterfly and suck it!!!
just needed to update my reply. Thank you for the variant....just pre-ordered mine from third eye and it was not an unattainable ratio. and you are the butterfly so soar high
do you even sleep? super-excited for your take on Cap! I don't generally read Big 2 superhero books, but if your name's on the cover, I'm in (can we expect a Batman omnibus any time soon?)
I really love that cool cover you did! mind anwering couple questions? 1. what's your goal to reach on the captain America run 30#? 25# isse? 2. did the MCU ca movies did inspiration on your run? last n final .... f**k zeb wells . cant wait to read it uncle chip! get it?
I didn't get a email from you ( weird I guess need to change to a new phone.. I feel bad I didn't repond ahhhhhhhh..) these answers sound satisfy ty for the answers ! I cant wait to read it n get it signed ! ( yea I'm sure he's nice but damn he ruin my boy spidey :(
You sure that wasn’t a Phil noto cover you just tried passing off as one of yours 🤔
That aside, this is such great news. And something I have wanted for a long long time. After reading your avengers twilight series this (aside from an ongoing avengers) has been a title I have wanted to see for a while. Don’t ask me why, it might sound crazy, but I get the feeling like you would be perfect here with Cap, and I’m happy to see marvel agrees with me.
Also, don’t worry about being a Canuck writing about Cap. How many Americans have written for Alpha Flight before, right? And u certainly wouldn’t even be the first Canadian to write Cap (as u yourself stated) so no worries there.
Small question, did I misread or did you say ur story begins with cap coming OUT of the ice? I thought the promotion said it would begin prior to the big chill. I could be wrong.
Also, I do hope that you will continue to include plenty of Cap’s best of friends and supporting characters (Bucky, Sam, Sharon, Natasha, OG Fury, etc) and his most formidable of foes (Red Skull, Zemo, Zola, Faustus, Sin, Crossbones, Machinesmith, etc.) in your exciting adventures you have planned for us readers
*especially Sharon. Definitely need to insist on plenty of Sharon*
And while I am sure that there is going to be times Cap will be embroiled in many other adventures with other supers and world ending events, I really hope this series will primarily keep cap in his specific corner of their world, handling problems only Captain America can handle, and facing enemies as only Cap can face, without having too much of the rest of the universe getting involved (unless there’s a plan for that in ur head, which by all means then, full steam ahead).
As you can see, I’m VERY VERY excited for what you have planned for Steve, and I can only hope it will be as epic and as long running as you DD and Batman runs were.
Ahhh. I see. I think someone misspoke about that when they were giving the press release. But that’s why we have access to chip here to these types of situations.
You don’t mind me asking, what in the Cap toy chest are you most excited to be playing with, besides Cap himself and his trillion dollar frisbee?
And, honestly, the focus is very much on Cap. His supporting cast is excellent, and we do have some fun "guest stars" in the first arc, but I'm really getting into the head and heart of Steve.
I WOULD NEVER!!! HOW DARE YOU BESMIRCH MY HONOR YOU CABIN DWELLING CANUCK (slaps with a leather glove) A DUEL I SAY! THE ONLY WAS TO REDEEM MY HONOR!!!
And I never said it was THEIR press release I was referring to 🤭
And that makes me happier than you can know. I like, I truly do, how the heroes can show up almost whenever and in any book, but for me, the best times are when it’s just focusing on the hero of the story without everyone else piling in. So yes, very happy for this
A little off topic, but in celebration of the latest Batman volumes release I’d like to ask, how many years did you figure Joker had Captio locked in that basement for? What was the longest stint the Doc went without his patient coming to visit him for the sessions before he managed to escape?
Chip!! Third eye!! It’s in Maryland!! I LIVE IN Maryland!!! I’m so excited to meet you in person (again!) !!

Sorry for rambling but wow I’m really excited!
I’ll SEE U SOON
Nice cover, Chip.
Thanks! Always fun to dip back into cover work

And Powerful, Hung Butterfly 👏👏👏. Is PHB why your fly was open at the DDBA premiere?
MY PANTS ARE THE COCOON
😂😂😂😂😂👏👏 ^ Bless your cocoon. This is the content I proudly pay for every year.
Is your fly still undone?
yeah. so?
I haven't been this excited to read Captain America since Avengers: Twilight!
wait you’re saying Howard the Duck WASNT one of your top 3????
They asked me AFTER I’d finished Howard!!!
HOWARD 4EVER
Marvel editorial if you’re reading this please quadruple Chip, Valero and Frank’s page rates just cuz thx you’re the best

Steve is VERY fun to write!
And man oh man, I read Matt's first few BATMAN scripts and they're amazing. Honestly excited as a reader (and friend!!)
"stay off the internet" - good advice.
i am very wise

WHOA YOUR FIRST DAREDEVIL that's a lot of pressure!! He's like a mutant but even sexier!!!
going to add cap to my pull and request your cover unless it's like a 1:100 variant because I imagine it'll be about $750 with tariffs. I did see some images of his new suit and I'm glad his ears are covered. how has he not lost one with all he's been through? feel free to use that if you want. and if anyone has an "issue" with a Canadian writing cap they can track down a powerful, hung butterfly and suck it!!!
wow the visual of sucking a hung butterfly
just needed to update my reply. Thank you for the variant....just pre-ordered mine from third eye and it was not an unattainable ratio. and you are the butterfly so soar high
do you even sleep? super-excited for your take on Cap! I don't generally read Big 2 superhero books, but if your name's on the cover, I'm in (can we expect a Batman omnibus any time soon?)
I'd imagine it'd be a loooong while before they did a Batman omnibus of my work! DC usually takes a bit longer, I think???
Question!
I know you had specific models you used for Sex Criminals, do you have them for Public Domain? Or has that been answered elsewhere?
I use a bunch of friends! The main one is my KAPTARA artist Kagan Mcleod, who is the basis for Miles!
Can you confirm or deny that any of the characters are based off you or Kieron Gillen?
haha I AM the model for Jerry Jasper
I really love that cool cover you did! mind anwering couple questions? 1. what's your goal to reach on the captain America run 30#? 25# isse? 2. did the MCU ca movies did inspiration on your run? last n final .... f**k zeb wells . cant wait to read it uncle chip! get it?
1. No issue goals! Didn't have one on DD, don't have one here! The story will be as long as it takes (unless we're cancelled)!
2. Maybe subconsciously? I always liked the way Evans plays Steve
3. Haha Zeb is actually the best. Had dinner with him while in LA and he's incredibly sweet and funny
I didn't get a email from you ( weird I guess need to change to a new phone.. I feel bad I didn't repond ahhhhhhhh..) these answers sound satisfy ty for the answers ! I cant wait to read it n get it signed ! ( yea I'm sure he's nice but damn he ruin my boy spidey :(
dear chip,
excited about Captain America! congrats! questions:
1) will you introduce a character called Captain Canada?
2) will your memoir be called "my powerful, hung butterfly"
3) what's the third thing that you said you wouldn't reveal? will you reveal it NOW?
thanks for sharing!
love
myq
1) yes
2) yes
3) hawkman
Hahaha hAwkward!

Looking forward to when issue 1 drops Chip!
It begins with him coming OUT of the ice!
I thought he come out of a womb?
Ahhh. I see. I think someone misspoke about that when they were giving the press release. But that’s why we have access to chip here to these types of situations.
You don’t mind me asking, what in the Cap toy chest are you most excited to be playing with, besides Cap himself and his trillion dollar frisbee?
Ha! Press release was right! I WON'T HAVE YOU SLANDERING THE FINE FOLKS OF MARVEL COMICS!!!

I don't like to nail things down, time-wise, with stuff like this because all the superhero stuff is very, uh, "fluid" when it comes to timelines!
