Joss Whedon - "Runaways" Comic Book - Joe Quesada Newsarama.com Interview

(...)

If Wilson Fisk is currently permanently expelled from U.S. soil according to the recent Daredevil arc, how is he operating as the Kingpin in the recent Runaways preview ? I’ll assume Runaways now takes place post-Civil War, so I’m a little befuddled by this. Especially if the Hood is soon to be taking a rise to power. Did someone not give Whedon the memo ?

JQ : Joss definitely got the memo, Mundungus...and read it. Runaways is post-Civil War and in continuity. We talked it all over with Brubaker (who is a gentleman, a scholar and Kristin Bell’s #1 fantasy) and he was cool with it.

Here’s how it works : just because you quit something doesn’t mean that you’re easily extricated from it. He’s in NY wrapping up some loose ends that he had to deal with. It’s only temporary. You’ll see a reference to current DaredevilL continuity in Runaways #26. The Runaways have been on the run during the whole "Fisk in prison" stuff and contacted him through channels set up when their parents were in charge of the LA criminal underground. A lot of this will become clearer as the story goes on, true believer.
