SPECIAL DAREDEVIL

Daredevil devient un West Coast Avengers
Steve Englehart devait reprendre le titre après Born Again. Il voulait que DD revienne sur la côte ouest et intègre les WCA avec Black Widow. Il voulait le sortir de la routine et de la zone de confort de la série depuis quelques années. Il devait travailler avec Natasha et rentrer à la maison avec Karen.. que se serait il passé?
Il n'est pas resté car dans un fill-in, Ann Nocenti a utilisé Natasha d'une manière incompatible avec les projets du scénariste. Elle hérita donc du titre pour une de ses plus grandes périodes.

Mithra: You had planned on making Matt/DD move to San Francisco and join the West Coast Avengers. Why?
Englehart: He had undergone his crisis of conscience. Theoretically, he'd become a better person for it...but I'm suspicious of easy conversions. Either way, he had to bring what he'd learned back into the world. I wanted to get him out of the narrow confines he'd fallen into (short-order cook in a small NYC neighborhood)--make him work with other people in a "new"environment (that he'd once enjoyed), in a situation (highly visible superhero--that he'd once enjoyed but now didn't)--and see how those challenges affected the very different man he'd become.
Mithra: What kind of stories did you have planned at that time, since you had to follow the events in 'Born Again'?
Englehart: See above. But also, the Black Widow would have joined the WCA, and they'd have been based in the town where he and she had been happy. Bottom line, I was angling toward DD being with Natasha at work, and Matt being with Karen at home, and seeing what happened. Living in two very different worlds with two very different women...
Mithra: The all-important question: Why didn't you write Daredevil?
Englehart: I had worked all this out but there were to be three fill-in issues before I got started. When I read Ann Nocenti's, I saw that she had had DD and Tasha reestablish their relationship in a different way from the way I had already written in my first issue. I went to my editor and said "You know what I'm doing over the long term, so we have to change her one-shot."And he said "No, she's an editor. You'll have to change *your* plans."Well, as I said, I was up for the challenge of following Miller, but not if I couldn't take my best shot. So I bailed.

Daredevil était Ronin

Brian Bendis l'a avoué dans une intro d'un omnibus Avengers. Ronin était bien censé être Daredevil et pas Echo. Mark Millar avait pitché cette relance avengers à la "JLA de Grant Morrisson" avec une tête d'affiche par famille Marvel (Wolverine, Spider-Man et Daredevil pour Marvel Knights).

"New York Underground"par Warren Ellis
Projet de Warren Ellis d'un OGN devant sortir en 2000.
Il avait aussi un projet de One Shot sur le personnage avec Tommy Lee Edwards que le lancement de Marvel Knights a tué dans l'oeuf.

Ka-Zar/Daredevil '98

Un projet d'annual par Ann Nocenti où une poulette s'amourache de Ka-zar et transporte un virus en terre sauvage. Ce virus était crée par le pillard, le frêre de ka-zar.
**Ann Nocenti:** A Marvel editor called me and said pleaz pleaz pleaz, I beg you, I need a story and I need it fast, I need it yesterday, if you do this for me I promise you lots of work. He seemed sweet and I can't resist someone in need so I skipped sleep and rushed out a whacky fun tale about a lascivious sick chick who got so turned-on by Ka-Zar she almost ruined him with a rusty old virus she was carrying around. It was a boomerang revenge plot that originated with Ka-zar's brother. Anyway, one day down the road I got an abrupt, not-so-nice message on my phone machine from the "nice"editor saying that the project was killed and I never heard from him again. That's the way the business is today. Not so nice but still pretending to be.[/quote]

Original Sin

Dan Chichester et Paul Ryan ont eu un projet d'une mini en 4 # situé dans les années 1800 avec DD.
Il en parle là avec ces projets s'il était resté sur le titre :

Il indique que Matt aurait exploré ses besoins personnels ainsi que sa propre identité à travers l’identité de Jack Batlin' qui se serait conclue au 350. Le Kingpin serait reparti de zéro pour remonter l'échelle du crime et donc un profil plus de criminels de rue. Les histoires auraient introduits de nouvelles menaces apparaissant pour prendre la place du kingpin. La structure aurait été des arcs à la Fall From Grace/Tree of Knowledge avec des histoires plus intimiste comme celle qu'il a faite avec Ron Garney "34 hours".
L'idée était de faire une franchise DD, comme un univers de poche avec des mini-séries comme "Hell's Kitchen" sorte de DD Year Two ou "Original sins", un voyage dans le temps fin des années 1800 à New York, époque de Boss Tweed et Tamanny Hall. Il était aussi question d'un DD/Predator.
Son départ est lié au moment où Marvel n'a plus un Editeur en Chef mais 5 éditeurs de famille de titres. Macchio perd le titre qui part dans la famille Marvel Edge avec Punisher, Doc Strange, Hulk, Nick Fury... dans les mains de Marie Javins (Coloriste qui a été éditeur de Ellis sur Hellstorm et Druid). Cette dernière est partie en vacances et pendant ce temps, Bobbie Chase a engagée Dematteis comme scénariste sur le titre. Javins l'a appris à son retour et ne devait pas le dire à Chichester. Il pense que Chase trouvait que ses histoires étaient trop compliqués, avec trop de mots...

https://www.manwithoutfear.com/daredevi ... Chichester

Que devait faire Black Crow juste avant Born Again?
Juste avant Born again, le run de Denny O'Neil se finit sur Black Crow qui semble avoir un plan englobant DD.
O'neil ne s'en souvient plus mais pense que le plan était à long terme.
https://www.manwithoutfear.com/daredevi ... iews/ONeil

Kesel voulait que Matt devienne Maire de NY

Bob Harras ne voulait pas qu'une histoire contredise la "réalité" donc le maire devait être celui en place dans le réel. Il avait pleins de règles comme ca, par exemple, un super-héros ne pouvait pas être barbu car les jeunes lecteurs ne pourraient pas s'identifier à un personnage plus "vieux". Il fallait ruser pour que Hercules garde sa barbe.

Le Sky-Walker de Wolfman
Ce personnage apparaissait dans DD128 sans être nommés et devait revenir. Ce personnage devait lancer DD dans une grande histoire de SF. Marv Wolfman a toujours pensé qu'il n'arrivait pas à donner sa voix au personnage. Il demanda alors à quitter le titre sans vraiment commencer cette histoire.


https://www.manwithoutfear.com/daredevi ... ws/Wolfman


J.M. Dematteis sur DD


Mithra: What was your take on the character on that time?

Dematteis voulait trouver un équilibre entre la noirceur de Miller et la gaieté de Stan Lee. Le personnage aurait conservé son costume jaune pendant un certain temps pour bien signifier le changement de ton. Il fallait remettre Murdock sur le devant de la scène. Malheureusement, il y a eu un désaccord avec l'éditeur sur la direction du titre.
Il n'y eu donc qu'un arc dans la lignée du scénariste à l'époque de réunifier différentes versions du personnage à priori incompatible (Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange).

Oui ils ont mis des traits pour qu'on se le dise et ça marche mais le dessin original c'était Miss Marvel et si on regarde bien... on se dit que si elle bondissant... Le dessin et le combat seraient différents.

Mais oui ça fonctionne et on y croit

Marvel Publie du DC Comics

En février 1984, Shooter indique avoir reçu un coup de fil de Bill Sarnoff de DC Comics lui proposant que Marvel publie les comics des personnages de DC Comics.
Le président de Marvel d'alors Jim Galton (Marvel appartenait à Cadence) ne fut pas intéréssé car les personnages de DC ne "vendaient pas".

Pour montrer le potentiel commercial de cette opération à Cadence, Shooter proposa un plan de publication commencant par 7 titres
SUPERMAN
BATMAN
WONDER WOMAN
GREEN LANTERN
TEEN TITANS
JUSTICE LEAGUE
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES

Il prevoyait des ventes de 39 millions sur deux ans avec un profit de 3 500 000$

John Byrne avait commencé à travailler sur Superman.

Les discussions furent houleuse avec la direction et furent enterrées quand First Comics saisit les tribunaux contre Marvel et DC pour anti-trust sur une attente par rapport aux prix proposés par Marvel et DC.

Il est très difficile de remonter autant le temps même sur internet.
La créative team est annoncée le 4 août 2001 "après des mois de rumeurs.

https://web.archive.org/web/20020111084 ... cgi?id=261

John Ney Rieber indique qu'il a rencontré Stuart Moore qui lui en a parlé et lui a demandé de pitcher mais que Marvel cherchait un grands noms comme Greg Rucka ou Frank Miller.
SSS: How did you come to be offered the assignment to write Captain America?

accidentally. i was talking with stuart moore--the original marvel knights editor for the project--and he just happened to bring it up. he said, you know, you're not someone anyone would think of for this, but...

and he was right.

it's my understanding that marvel was looking for a heavy hitter to revive the character. someone with serious superhero credentials, like frank miller or greg rucka. and i'd only written a single (and not particularly memorable) story in that genre. but stuart liked the sample scenes i generated, my take on the character...
https://web.archive.org/web/20021219092 ... nr_01.html

Greg Rucka a d'ailleurs confirmé cela et Chuck Austen a indiqué avoir lui aussi postulé.
Going back to regret Rucka's expressed at no longer writing Wonder Woman, Taylor asked if there were any characters he wished he'd had the chance to write. "I never got the chance to write Captain America,"Rucka said, explaining that he had written a sample for editor Stuart Moore, but that at the time the job of writing "Captain America"had gone to John Ney Rieber instead. "I wish I had gotten that,"he said. "I think Cap is a brilliant character. At all times, there is a need for a well-written Captain America. In prosperity, or in whatever we call what we're in now."
https://web.archive.org/web/20140414013 ... e&id=48966
Austen's history with Cap dates back to his time on Elektra, when he first heard of the title's move to the Marvel Knights imprint.

"It's funny, I originally pitched to do Cap back when I was drawing Elektra,"Austen said. "I had heard from my editor at the time, Stuart Moore, that they were going to be taking Cap into the Knights fold and I asked if I could pitch. He said I could but could promise nothing.

"I thought I could dazzle him. So I took the weekend and put together a proposal and a full script on spec. This was pre-War Machine, and I had turned Cap into an anti-terrorist SAS type soldier with a lot of Tom Clancy weapons and gear, and some other people in his unit. But he was always at odds with his superiors, who were intended to be a branch of SHIELD, because he refused to kill.

"He worked with Hawkeye, Falcon, and a few other new guys in a squad. They carried weapons, Mp-5's, Flashbangs, night-vision scopes, the whole nine yards, but Cap's stuff was all non-lethal. Rubber bullets. Tasers. Sticky foam. Stuart really liked it, but he thought Rieber was better suited for the book, and I went back to Elektra.
https://web.archive.org/web/20030223213 ... 1&t=000132

Joe Quesada et Bill Jemas voulait revigorer le titre comme Daredevil l'avait été sous cette bannière avec une approche moins spandex et plus réaliste.

L'annonce est donc faites en aout 2001 pour début 2022. Le run de Jurgens continuera pendant 6 mois.
Cependant les plans vont changer avec les attentats du 11/09/2001.
Rieber va écrire un nouvel arc inaugural pendant que The Extremist deviendra le second arc.
Ney Rieber devait écrire une mini série qui devait faire le lien entre la mort de Steve Rogers dans le #50 du volume 3 et la série Marvel Knights mais le fait de devoir changer les plans du premier arc entrainera l'abandon de ce projet. Macan et Zezelj sortiront Dean Men Running entre les deux volume de la série.
http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.co ... vealed-468
En février 2002, la mini série Ice sera annoncée par Riber et Jae Lee. Elle devait reparler du fameux moment où le personnage est en hibernation dans la glace.
En avril la série sort enfin mais devient bimestrielle pour le 1er arc. C'est là que la décision d'intégrer Ice comme troisième arc doit être prise pour donner du temps à l'équipe créative.

Rieber semblait ne pas avoir de plans précis mais Cassaday devait revenir.
Rieber doesn't have a lot of information about what's in store for Cap fans beyond "Ice,"for very good reasons.

[Page 16]
Issue #7, Page 16"Mmm ... honestly ...

"I always leave room for the characters to surprise me, when I'm scripting. I definitely have some ideas I'd like to explore with Cap ... but I don't know exactly where Cap will be when 'Ice' concludes -- and after scripting three arcs simultaneously for the past for the past year, I'm looking forward to carrying around one Cap-world in my head at a time, instead of three.

"And you never really know what's going to happen. From day to day, much less year to year. Joe Quesada and I haven't even begun to discuss a fourth arc. So there's even more uncertainty than usual there.

"But if I'm still on the book and Cassaday comes back for another arc -- which was the plan, more than a year ago, before September the Eleventh -- we want to take cap out of the country -- and the west -- for a while. To the Middle East or Africa. Harsh places ...

"For harsh reasons."
https://web.archive.org/web/20021021060 ... gi?id=1610

Cependant Rieber allait quitter le titre au milieu des deux intrigues de Extremists et de Ice. Son approche avait plu à Quesada mais pas sa façon d'écrire le personnage necessitant pas mal de réécritures, ne devant pas aider le titre à avoir une direction et un rhytme mensuel.
As for why he’s leaving the book, Rieber chalked it up to approach. “I tend to write a particular kind of story, even when I’m doing something that’s pretty action-based, I’m always more interested in the characters than anything else,” Rieber said. “Probably the simplest way that I can describe what happened is that Joe Quesada has a very clear vision about what he wants Cap to be, and my Cap just wasn’t quite what he was looking for. They liked a lot of my ideas, but some of the approaches that I had to storytelling and structuring things and the weighting of the character just wasn’t meshing with his vision.

“In the end, I was doing lots and lots of rewriters of scripts, and it was slowing things down. We all reached a place where we realized that it might be better if someone else was doing the book. I guess that’s the long way of saying that we had creative differences.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20030223213 ... 1&t=000132

Austen est donc choisi par Quesada pour finir ces deux intrigues car son pitch (vu plus haut) lui plaisait bien. Le scénariste semblait confiant sur le fait de rester sur le titre.
"If I get the series, I'd want to go that route I mentioned earlier. I'd bring in new villains, bigger than life villains;make Cap more of a James Bond with a Tom Clancy twist for the new millennium. I'd tie him closer to Nick Fury and SHIELD, in a sense doing what Jim Steranko was doing for his time, back in the sixties. Hardware, tools, and the occasional femme fatale with the world as a stage. Bad guys, explosions, world-threatening violence and hidden government conspiracies with Cap punching his way through to victory. I think it would be a blast. At least for me."
https://web.archive.org/web/20030223213 ... 1&t=000132

L'arc suivant est une sorte de What If par Dave Gibbons et Lee Weeks où Captain America sort d'hibernation dans un monde où les nazis ont gagné la guerre.
On sent que cette mini n'était pas prévu pour le titre mais est là pour laisser la nouvelle équipe creative arriver.

Jusque là, Rieber et Austen dans les interviews que j'ai mis en lien semblent indiquer que la série est en continuité et qu'ils peuvent utiliser les personnages de leurs choix.
Pourtant seul Namor apparait dans Ice avec des cauchemars impliquants Sharon ou Red Skull. Mais la série n'a vu aucun autre personnage Marvel, même pas Fury alors que le SHIELD est omniprésent.

Robert Morales arrive sur le titre avec Chris Bachalo. Robert Morales a déjà écrit Truth  où il crée Isaiah Bradley avec Kyle Baker. La mini sort de Janvier à Juillet 2003. Captain America 21 sort en décembre 2003.
Il envoie Cap à Guantanamo.
En 2005, Robert Morales nous explique sur le forum de Quesada qui n'existe plus depuis qu'il a été poussé vers la sortie.

Il avait signé pour 18 numéros et n'en fit que 9. Les deux dernier n'étaient pas ceux prévus et voient Steve Rogers projetés sur une terre où ISaiah Bradley est le seul Captain America.

Gui Kayro - Marvel's Chief Information Officer, trouvait son run trop politique. Dan Buckley voulait que la série Captain America réintègre la continuité pour participer à Avengers Disassembled et ainsi promouvoir l'arrivée de Bendis sur Avengers.
Morales parla avec Bendis qui lui indiqua adorer ce qu'il prévoyait sur la série mais que ca ne pouvait pas coïncider avec Disassembled. Buckley et Marvel ont décidé que si ça ne pouvait pas aider les ventes d'Avengers alors ca n'avait pas d’intérêt.
Jusque là, il ne lui était pas permis d'utiliser des personnages Marvel dans la série à part Nick Fury.
Ca l'embêtait car il trouvait justement que Captain America dépendait beaucoup des éléments de son histoire.
Il faut dire aussi qu'à l'époque Marvel lance un second titre Captain America &The falcon qui est clairement en continuité et lancé sur cet argument.
En fait, l'idée de Morales est que Steve Rogers allait accepter la proposition d'être candidat en tant que Vice Président (ce qu'il refuse à la fin du numéro publié alors que Marvel avait annoncé un événement qui allait tout changer) puis devenir par un concours de circonstance Président des USA. Il aurait été difficile de le placer sur le spectre politique.
Puis quand c'est tombé à l'eau, Quesada lui a soufflé une idée intéressante (qu'il ne donne pas) lors d'un déjeuner avec Alonso (alors éditeur du titre). Mais Buckley pris sa décision que la série devait revenir dans continuité avec un nouveau scénariste. Bendis souffla le nom de Brubaker pour Marvel et quand on lui demanda la série qu'il voulait faire, il répondit "Captain America".

Robert Morales révèle plein de choses intéressantes sur le forum de Joe Quesada ! Attention aux spoilers bien sûr

Quote (rwsmith @ April 19 2004,22:30)
Robert, will you be doing any more work for Marvel in the near future?
If so, can you tell us what title(s)?

Morales : I committed to doing 18 issues of Captain America;my run will end with eight issues. I've turned down any further work from Marvel, including a S.H.I.E.L.D. series and a 1602 spin-off.

I've told Axel I'd only discuss doing another ten issues of Cap.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote (khanus @ April 19 2004,22:30)
Ok.  So Robert, what was the main reason for your run being cut short?  Any other Marvel work on the horizon, or in comics in general?

Morales : Gui Kayro - Marvel's Chief Information Officer - hated what I was doing with Cap, even though I was doing precisely what Marvel Edit asked of me. Evidently Kayro thinks topicality is the same as political bias - it's not. (I think my Cap is as political as "24"- i.e., it's right on the line.) That's one.

Two, Dan Buckley wanted Iron Man, Thor, and Cap to be support titles for Brian Bendis' new Avengers run. I'd been okayed for a completely different storyline - mind you, the MK Cap was to be out of MU continuity originally, but Buckley wanted that changed. That Cap or any of Marvel's other titles were to be directed toward a non-traditional comics audience was an idea he was abandoning.

Brian Bendis called me and we discussed what we were both doing, and once he heard me out, Brian said he a) thought the direction I was taking Cap was really interesting, and b) he would tell Marvel they should leave me alone. My understanding is that Buckley took Brian's comments to mean that my Cap run was therefore useless when it came to supporting what we were all calling "the Bendis Event"at the time. So he insisted that my 18-issue storyline be scuttled, whether Brian or anybody else at Marvel wanted to do that or not.

Yes, Steve Rogers was supposed to eventually become an independent vice-presidential candidate, and he was supposed to eventually become President of the United States. But the challenge was you'd never get a real handle on his political stance - it was all about his character, and what everyone else would project onto it.

In early February, Joe and Axel and I went out to lunch - pretty much to part company, but instead Joe came up with another story arc that was really great and challenging. We fleshed it out and were surprised at how positively the afternoon turned out. However, Buckley killed that idea.

Then Axel came to me again and asked if I could come up with something else, so I suggested retelling Cap's origin for a modern audience, which hadn't been done in awhile. You'd find more about Cap's interaction with real history, where his shield and costume came from, it'd have cameos by Sgt. Fury and Bucky and Hitler and Ike - a big, sweeping historical epic.

Buckley decided that World War II wasn't big enough - and it was clear to me then that Marvel management just didn't want me writing Cap, period.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote (jedicow @ April 19 2004,22:52)
you dont have to give spoilers...just a small synopsis of the story will suffice.

Morales : Cap #26 is a stand-alone story. Cap #27-28 involve an alternate future, and it's both horrific and funny. (I hope.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote (JackalsIII @ April 20 2004,00:47)
Were you really going to have Steve Rogers run and win the Presidency?

Morales : Cap as President was supposed to be a highly-publicized event - unlike Luthur's win, which I didn't know about for a while, and I follow comics. That they'd decide not to go with that storyline is understandable to the extent that Marvel isn't doing the kind of outside media promotion they used to for their books.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote (Matt Adler @ April 20 2004,04:03)
...if, instead of going with a new writer, Marvel had simply come to you and said "Bob, we want Cap to go in a more superheroic direction"is that something you think you could've pulled off, or is political Cap more up your alley?

Morales : Well, Matt, the weird thing is I was told specifically not to use all the classic Marvel characters in my Cap run - Marvel wanted something completely new. I was told the Red Skull and Hydra and AIM and the rest were either over-used or off-limits. That I got to use Nick Fury was a great treat.

I would've loved to have been allowed to do a more superhero-y book, because I see possibilities of making superhero comics more contemporary that nobody's exploring - and frankly, if I do superhero comics it's because I want to make a contribution to them, not because I just want to make a buck doing what others can do better than I.

I also think it's impossible to do a Cap run without the history of the Marvel U, except that with Cap, real history makes his character all the richer. So I guess the answer to your question is yeah, probably - but it's really beside the point because some people just wanted me off the book.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morales : 1. The experiment was a failure of Marvel management's commitment toward marketing their books, whether or not they agreed with their content. Most people at Marvel Edit though it was way to soon to access how the book was doing financially.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote (ChopperJohn @ April 19 2004,10:57)
How does editorial allow 2 Cap in Cuba stories at the same time anyways.

Morales : I've been stacking up my Cap/Falcons so I won't read them until Priest's first arc is completed. (I like Christopher Priest.) I don't think the MK Cap continuity has anything to do with it. However, I'm as puzzled about its Guantanamo Bay storyline as everybody who asks me about it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote (Matt Adler @ April 21 2004,00:22)
Seriously, why's it such a big deal? Runs end all the time before they're supposed to. I'd've thought you'd be flattered that they want to give you another high profile assignment right away.

Morales : I write for a living and I'm not prolific, so I really have to mindful of where I commit my efforts. Comics don't really pay a lot if you're a relative unknown like myself. Superstars like Bendis and Mark Millar and [your favorite here] get paid more - artists get paid at least twice what writers do - and I don't begrudge anybody the deal they get. For me, the appeal of writing Cap was that a) I was to be given specific guidelines, then left alone to write a character upon which I grew up idolizing, and b) Marvel pays you when they say they will.

So even though a Cap script earned me a so-so $2200, I didn't really mind - I've other things happening. But committing yourself to 18 issues is still a commitment, Matt - and when people above the people you work for undermine the commitments you've already made, isn't unwise to commit yourself again and set yourself up for some other corporate brainfart?

I'm not like people who want to be in a relationship so badly, they're willing to stay in a bad relationship.
http://www.buzzcomics.net/showpost.php? ... stcount=20

La série finit par un arc de Kirkmann et Eaton censé être un tie-in à Disassembled mais sans aucun lien avec l'intrigue de Bendis. C'est la seule histoire qui semble un tant soit peu en continuité et qui utilise toute la mythologie du personnage. Ce n'est par contre pas la plus réussie ou du moins la plus intéressante.
