Chris Samnee

Mark Waid and Chris Samnee are one of the defining creative partnerships of modern Marvel comics, celebrated for their run on Daredevil. When they reunited to tackle Black Widow, they brought the same kinetic confidence — and then extended their collaboration to Captain America, creating a cohesive spy-action epic across two iconic characters.

Daredevil by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee Omnibus Vol. 2 takes Matt Murdock to San Francisco without losing the run's central trick: brightness on the surface, pain underneath. Samnee's storytelling becomes cleaner and more playful while Waid keeps pushing Matt toward honesty about trauma. It is the graceful end of a rare optimistic Daredevil era.

Mark Waid reinvents Daredevil by doing the opposite of everything that came before: instead of darkness and suffering, he writes Matt Murdock with genuine joy, humour, and resilience. The insight is simple and brilliant — a man who has survived everything Daredevil has survived would either break entirely or find a way to laugh. Paolo Rivera and Chris Samnee create a unique visual aesthetic that won the Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series. 720 pages of Daredevil at his most purely enjoyable.
