Daredevil Writer Chip Zdarsky's New Series Explores Comics and Family

While Chip Zdarsky is best known for writing some of Marvel's contemporary Daredevil comics, he also has considerable experience with creating his own comics. His latest comic, Public Domain, seems to be a more personal project that pays homage to families and comic book teams throughout history. The story particularly satirizes Marvel Comics' relationship with the MCU. On Twitter, Zdarsky gave fans a look at Public Domain.

Zdarsky's Public Domain seriescovers ownership topics regarding a superhero named Domain. The characters live in a world where Singular Studios adapts characters from Singular Comics and create the «biggest movie in the world.» Miles Dallas (who shares a stark resemblance to Zdarsky himself) is the protagonist, an entertainment reporter, and the son of comic book creator, Syd Dallas. Miles eventually gets the chance to interview the actor who plays Domain, and things don't go well. The actor refers to «the midpoint movie in Phase Five of the SCU» as «modern mythology,» which upsets Miles a great deal; he believes the comic book source material is the accurate «modern mythology.» As a comic book writer himself, it's clear Zdarsky is playing with real-world ideas to create an enticing fictional drama.
