Congratulations on the omnibus, Chip! I will be picking it up. I have been trying to get into your Daredevil for a while but I cannot find a solid start in my area without comic book piracy, which is lame!

Everything I've seen of it looks phenomenal and your work on Batman has me convinced that it is a must read as a longtime fan of the Scarlet/Occasionally Yellow/One Time He Wore A Black Suit Swashbuckler!

Hey Chip - excited to see how you end the DD run! And excited to continue the bat adventures with you penning the story!

Is there any chance you could nudge Marvel to still release a final OHC to complete your run?! I’m worried they’re going to abandon the last OHC since they announced the Omni.

Whew! Glad you’re not dead, Chip. As you saw on Instagram, I am happily Daredipping again with the DD v. 1 Omnibus. Can’t wait to own this run as an oversized edition. Do you know if the Director’s Cut for DD v. 6 #1 will be included in the omnibus too?

I can’t wait for DD 12 tomorrow. Just two more issues after this 😭🥺.

Please tell me you suggested that Saladin and Aaron keep Matt looking sexy especially when he’s crying.

And it’s only fitting you call Batman Rich Daredevil because why not?

Have a great week, Chip.

Congrats! I was wondering if an omnibus was going to get released, but unfortunately I already bought all the individual volumes already. So I will have to pass (very upset with myself about it tbh.)

And holy crap. Only 2 more issues. I can’t even believe we have come this far, and that the end is in sight. Tbh I kinda was hoping the finale for ur run would have been a big fight between frank and Matt, but I’m certain whatever you’re planning will be worth it’s weight in re-sale, I MEAN GOLD! Worth its weight in gold...yeh, that’s what I meant..hahaha.

Also this issue of Batman. Touch of longing and angst, with a pinch of wholesomeness. Though I feel compelled to ask, why is it that Bruce always seems to sabotage his own life with his decisions? Also his mentality that without him, nothing can work here like this in Gotham. Or in the family. I can’t tell if that’s him talking, or Zur whispering in his mind. By the by, has it always been that easy for him to chat with Zur? I figured there would be more involved in the process, but hey, I’m not complaining.

Though maybe it’s me, but Selina seemed a little bit witchy with bats there. And he didn’t even blame her for the crime she went to jail for, only that she made herself a fugitive by breaking out. I mean I think he was honestly being more reasonable then he normally is if you ask me. Course her bombshell revelations probably have done some considerable damage to their relationship. Poor guy can’t catch a break. Seriously, Why can’t Bruce find a nice girl who isn’t. Super criminal, terrorist, part of a secret society, or using him for their own ends?

Is there really no woman out there that’s normal and is good for Bruce?

Well I mean there was one, Silver St. Cloud, but we know how that turned out.

Well, enjoy the break, and we will see u back on the bat book after we wake up from Knight Terrors...IF we wake up that is of course.

I’m glad Saladin and Aaron will keep the hollowed sexy Matt tradition going.

Oh, I thought you might have input on the omnibus content since you’re designing the covers 🫣. Also pre-ordered your DD 14 variant too. 🫠

Thanks, as always, Chip.

Trying not to read comments her because nazi spoilers? Also, as much as I OK sort of like you, holy fucking awesome that Kelly is writing BoP. Her Hawkeye and especially Black Widow were two of my all-time fave runs. Kelly's the literal best.

I don't know how Ben's office does it. The Green Arrow launch was great too. Just try to hold your own, OK?

dear chip,

"Rich Daredevil Who Doesn’t Cry As Much" is very funny!

question: can you name other superheroes in this fashion as well?

thanks!

love,

Can confirm as an equally hairy, but much less fit, gentleman - they do not shave where they put the stickies. They just rip that hair out later.
