Antony Johnston talks Daredevil

by Christine on December 21, 2009 in Daredevil News

As reported previously, Antony Johnston will be co-writing the next arc of Daredevil, “Left Hand Path” (is it just me, or does that title sound a little… weird?). He talks about this collaboration, and other things he has going on, in an interview with Comic Book Resources. Here is some of what he had to say:

“In this arc, Matt goes to Japan for a summit of the Hand, to ensure its ‘five fingers’ – the regional directorates of the organisation – are working together harmoniously,” Johnston said of the arc on which he is collaborating. “And, naturally, things don’t go quite as planned. I can’t really say much more than that, I don’t want to give anything away.”

Read the whole interview on CBR.

In case you’re wondering, I will keep blogging over the holidays. My first order of business, however, is to catch up on all the comments you guys keep leaving (me like!). I will also be back tomorrow with the long overdue review of What If? Daredevil vs Elektra. I will see you then!

ComicsBlips: vote it up!

It’s not just you, but neither is it accidental. Gooooooooooogle…

(By the way, not that I expect to feature much here at TOMP, but there’s no “h” in my first name :)

Antony, if you read this I just I have to say Wasteland is a fantastic series (I’ve been collecting the trades) and I also love Christopher Mitten’s art.

I’m really looking forward to your work on DD. :]

Thanks, Andrew :)

Okay, name fixed across the site! Considering people misspell and mispronounce my name all the time (either calling me Christina or spelling it Kristin, both of which are more common here in Sweden), you’d think I’d be better at getting peoples names right. Live and learn, as they say.

Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by, Antony! Considering your upcoming guest gig on Daredevil, expect to have your name mentioned quite a bit in the coming months. I take my Daredevil reporting very seriously! Though I promise not to go through your trash like I did Andy Diggle’s. ;)

Thanks, Christine :)

Who knows if DD reuniting the rest of the Hand’s “fingers” will mean he’ll find himself against another one of the Hand’s leaders, that is Wolverine’s villain Gorgon?

hey. Silly me! there’s an author right here :)

Antony Johnston December 22, 2009 at 2:16 pm

An author whose lips are sealed, sorry…!

Hey, everyone. Did anyone see the Marvel 2010 solits for July? There’s no DD listed. What gives? :-( Is it skipping a month or was there an error on the part of whoever put those solits together?

Dre December 22, 2009 at 8:02 pm

March. Sorry! Meant to say MARCH! How embarrassing.

Francesco December 23, 2009 at 4:14 am

No prob, Antony. I love surprises ;)

Christine December 23, 2009 at 4:23 am

@Dre: Yeah, it appears that DD is skipping a month. Other than that, I don’t know any more than you. It’s a bummer. Hopefully, the book will be back on schedule after that.
