Aww man, right? My last issue of Daredevil. I woke up this morning at like 4 AM (not my usual wake-up time, thank god) and that was the first thing that popped into my head. It’s the last day I’m the writer of Daredevil, a title I’ve held for more than three years. (While my first issue, Daredevil #1 with Ron Garney, Matt Milla and Clayton Cowles) came out almost three years ago, I’ve been working on the title since April 2015. I’m one of fourteen writers with long runs on the title since 1964, a list that began with Stan Lee.

Fourteen. In fifty-four years. Getting to write a long run on Daredevil is one of the most exclusive jobs in all of comics. I think the ending Phil, Clayton and I made here speaks for itself, but I will say that this arc (and, to a degree, the run as a whole) is about the fear of nothing you do mattering. I think that’s maybe the only thing Daredevil really fears - and it’s a fear I think many of us can relate to these days.

I’ll write a longer piece about my run on Daredevil over in the main blog section soon, but let me thank everyone who contributed to this run, everyone who made all the stories that served as the foundation for this run’s adventures, and especially everyone who supported us, from readers to retailers to press. THANK YOU.

Let’s head over to Darth Vader #24, which is part 6 of the FORTRESS VADER epic, and the second-to-last issue in the run as a whole. I’ll tell you what, friends, it’s been hard to see these series go. First Poe, now Daredevil, and on the imminent horizon, Vader. Now, I have lots of great things coming up - I should probably be working on them instead of doing this, in fact - but I will miss these books.

But we’re not done yet! So, Vader #24. Art and cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli, inked by Daniele Orlandini, colors from David Curiel, letters by Joe Caramagna, and cover painted by Elia Bonetti.
