"Marvel Boys" really should have been called "Marvel BEARDS".

It is always nice to talk about others and their achievements. Also great to shine a light about someone who deserves to be acknowledged for their hard work, well done Chip.

So I finally got some answers about the Stromwynns in today’s issue of DD. Wow, I can see they are handling being manhandled by Kingpin very well. And now they hafta contend with Mayor Cage. Something tells me there’s not enough money in the bank to prepare them for dealing with this community of supers. I fear they r out of their depths.

Then there are their silent partners. I don’t know what they were thinking when they struck a deal with them, but my gut tells me it won’t be in the end.

So do u have to worry about what others might do with the Hand organization not that the Fist Saga has begun, or is that all taken care of and u don’t have to worry about others messing with things ur doing with them for ur story?

Finally, I know we can expect new and exciting characters from your Batman run, but is the same also going to be for Daredevil? Any chances of new exciting characters, both heroes and villains, being introduced during the Fist Saga?

Again, nice thing spotlighting ur colleagues, and as always, it’s always a pleasure.

I've been coordinating The Hand stuff with Jason over in PUNISHER, so we're all good there! If somebody in some other book has The Hand operating a carnival or whatever, I'll just ignore it ha ha

And there are some new characters and old characters coming up!

That’s good to hear, but to be honest, I know very little about what Jason is up to with Punisher and his current series. Is it a required reading to get the whole story of your Fist Saga, or is it ok and it isn’t necessary to understand everything?

That’s cool. Hoping Blindspot makes and appearance. Same for Ikari (I think that’s his name).

Reading PUNISHER isn't essential, but it's one of my favourite books Jason's ever done!

lol! gosh damn i can't wait till that first album drops from DC DREAMIN'. i'm picturing those old clips of Elvis, just with Elvis replaced by everyone in that picture and the screaming teen girls replaced with men in their 30s and 40s.
