Chip Zdarsky is a Canadian comic book artist and journalist. He was born Steve Murray but is known by his fan base as Chip Zdarsky, and occasionally Todd Diamond. He writes and illustrates an advice column called Extremely Bad Advice for the Canadian national newspaper National Post's The Ampersand, their pop culture section's online edition. He is also the creator of Prison Funnies and Monster Cops.
The Chip Zdarsky version of Daredevil is growing on me. Totally off-beat and way off the beaten track of a normal Daredevil story. I like the art and the entire plot. The new cast of supporting characters (plus good ole Foggy & of course, the Kingpin) keep this book interesting. I hope Marvel continues with this storyline for a long long time, and please no dorky villains like the Stilt-Man or such. Keep it gritty and dirty.
I’ve been enjoying Daredevil and Elektra teaming back up doing these missions together. After hitting the Stromwyns servers, the twins are looking into it and will probably go after Matt and Elektra. After what they did to Fisk, this is definitely bad news.
Zdarsky knows how to build on a character’s actions over time. How to really make their choices have impact. I’m excited to see where he goes with Elektra.
