"The whole thing began with the idea of a crime related book that would fit my peculiar sensibilities. There was going to be no mining of the Marvel canons at all at first. But the more we worked it out, the more we realized we had just what we needed in the form of Wilson Fisk and that fans might enjoy our take on his early rise to infamy. I wrote a six issue outline that was approved and ready to go, when we realized the best way to keep this dark, film noir kind of piece at least tenuously connected to the Marvel Universe was to give Fisk a traditional arch enemy like Spider-Man. There were problems, of course-the two didn't meet in strict continuity until Fisk was older. But we just didn't want to throw out the opportunity the wider canvass of their initial meeting invited, so we blurred time a bit and got our cake and ate it too." -- Bruce Jones

"I hope we're playing the violence in a very real way. I want it to have impact, because this is a story that is playing in that lone killer vigilante genre like TAXI DRIVER and DEATH WISH and so many others, but at the same time it's kind of flipping it around, too. Examining it from a different point of view.
I wanted to really get deep into what it would be like to have to become a vigilante. The kinds of things that physical violence will do to you, to your mental health and your body. It's a story that will grow in scope as it goes along, too, because becoming a killer creates a lot of ripples in the world, and I want to follow those, too."
