My Big News of the DDay!

As was mentioned in the "Next Big Thing" interview yesterday for Marvel.com, the talented Paolo Rivera is leaving Daredevil and instead of finding a replacement for him, I will be the sole, full-time artist on Daredevil!!!

Paolo gave his reasons for leaving the book in a really nice post on his blog and I wish him all the best on his post DD work. 


I hope those of you that came to the book because of Marco's and Paolo's beautiful artwork stick around to see what Mark and I have cooking for you.  I'm having a blast on this book, and I hope it's showing in my pages.

You can read the see the full interview here at Marvel.com's liveblog (or a number of other places like Newsarama, CBR, IGN, MTVNews etc.)
Ifanboy seems to have all the info, as well as a preview of B&W pages from DD#15.

OKAY!! Back to the drawing board with me. This horn head ain't gonna draw himself : )

Oh, and yes I'm still drawing the Rocketeer mini... and packing up the house for another cross-country move. This time with a 10 month old. Yes, I'm apparently a glutton for punishment.

Congratulations. That's fantastic news.

I love Paulo's work, but I am looking forward to seeing full time Samnee on DD.

Great news ! I love your work on "DD" and I have no doubts the serie continues to rock.
I'll also wait for your issues of "Rocketeer".
In fact, I believe (and I think I'm not the only one to think that) you're on the way to be THE artist of 2012 !

YES!! The first time I found your work was with the DD/Tarantula issue you did. Let's hope for a nice long run on DD!

Now, about those Lunch notes ;)
Eric!

Ah, congrats, Chris! You're a good man and a terrific artist! Here's hoping to a Mazzucchelli length run!

That's goods news. I might just be forced to keep buying that book now.
BTW if you're looking for studio space in NYC at any point ( short or long term ), get in touch. We're not exactly Periscope, but we do pretty well for Brooklyn.

Wow. Congratulations. That's great/sad news. If we had to lose Paulo Rivera, I'm so glad we're getting you full time! A classy exit and a classy entrance. Good luck to both of you.
