“Dogma” and “Chasing Amy” writer/director Kevin Smith will once more be writing Daredevil. The filmmaker wrote the “Guardian Devil” story for Marvel Comics in the late nineties, and now he’s returning to write a story in which Matt Murdock/Daredevil crosses over with a DC character Smith has written: Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

We already knew DC and Marvel were once more crossing over in September for “Deadpool/Batman” #1, but on Friday, Marvel reported that the issue would include backup stories with more crossovers between the two companies, including “Daredevil/Green Arrow”.

It’s a fitting match-up considering the writer. Along with writing Daredevil in “Guardian Devil”, Smith also wrote “Quiver,” a ten-issue storyline that launched a new volume of “Green Arrow” for DC Comics and brought the dormant archer back to life.
“Daredevil/Green Arrow” will be written by Kevin Smith with art by Andy Kubert.
The main “Deadpool/Batman” story is written by Zeb Wells with art by Greg Capullo, and the “Daredevil/Green Arrow” match-up won’t be the only extra crossover story.
The issue will also include “Captain America/Wonder Woman” by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson and “Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto” by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru.
“We’re going to all corners of the Marvel and DC Universes, and the creators are having an absolute blast finding the unexpected and unexplored connections between these characters,” said Editor Mark Basso.
“We can’t wait for the fans to experience the same jaw-dropping moments we are! And we’ve got some more secret stories in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for more to be revealed!”
“Deadpool/Batman” #1 hits shelves on September 17.
It isn’t the only big comic book crossover that Smith has been involved with lately either. On July 9, Archie Comics releases “Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob”.
Set after the events of 2022’s “Clerks III”, “Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob” finds Archie getting a job with Randal at the same store where the latter clerk used to work with Dante.
Smith said about the crossover, “Not only is this my stab at a classic American franchise that existed long before me that I read as a kid … It’s a midlife crisis project about death and learning to deal.”
