New Brevoort Formspring

In preparation of the new Daredevil TV show, I decided to read DG Chichester's Daredevil run. Between his preachy anti-homeless and anti-porn right-wing rants and his love of having characters drop random pop culture references, it was painful. Why did he follow up on Frank MIller and Ann Nocenti's work? Couldn't you find a better writer?
