I have wanted Marvel to bring back ‘What If…’ in any capacity for so long. So, I jumped all over it when it was finally approved. In the first issue I’m
doing a Daredevil story, ‘What if Karen Page had lived?’ In the great ‘What If…’ tradition we’re taking Daredevil down a path that only could only be
imagined in the regular title. It’s Alex Maleev and me with a cover by Joe Quesada. I believe Kevin Smith will be contributing on some level. He’s supposed
to co-write it with me, but if he doesn’t I’ll just write it. I wanted to drag his ass back to comics, whether he liked it or not! We’ll see if he can
squeeze it in.”

That’s right, writer/director Kevin Smith will be making a return to comics after an extended absence.

“I thought it was one of those things that would be great to do together,” continued Bendis. “Basically, I want to mesh our two ‘Daredevil’ arcs. In other
words, where I took Daredevil versus where he had Daredevil. I thought it would be interesting and we’ll see what happens. If not, I’ll just do it. I’m not
making any promises, see what I’m doing here?”
