NRAMA: If it's not too personal, what do you think was the effect of the time and place you wrote this on the story itself?
JQ: I think that that will become evident as you begin to read the story. It's funny how life works out sometimes. A very big part of this story is Matt's relationship with his father; actually the theme of fathers and sons plays a very big part. This was something that I already had thematically down on paper, including the working title "Father," which after all that happened, I decided to keep. So here I am at my father's bedside writing this thing called Daredevil: Father, believe me, the irony was not lost on me. After I was finished I sent the story to Bendis - he's my "shoulder devil," as you like to say so gleefully. Afterwards Brian suggested a different title for the story, it was a great title too, and perhaps I should have used it. But, after all that happened, in honor of my pops, I had to leave the working title be.
NRAMA: Now, the solicitation copy talks about how this story will change Daredevil's life "forever," - but what's "forever" in comics anymore?
JQ: Well, I guess "forever" until some young punks come along and relaunch the character in the future - ha. However, even with a relaunch, this is the kind of story which will still give some pretty interesting insight into DD and all of the things that make him what he is.
