Acuña then burst onto the American comic scene with DC’s Green Lantern and Flash. In 2007, Acuña signed an exclusive contract with Marvel Comics, where he has worked on such popular books as Hulk, Incredible Hercules, Dark Tower, Eternals, X-Men Legacy, Black Widow and Captain America.

Cleveland-born Brian Michael Bendis broke into the comic-book field during the early 1990s as a writer-artist with a flair for crime fiction. Initially publishing creator-owned titles such as A.K.A. Goldfish and Jinx through Caliber Comics, he later moved Jinx to Image Comics — where he co-created the true-crime comic Torso, worked on Todd McFarlane’s Sam and Twitch and Hellspawn and created Powers, a series following the adventures of police detectives in a world of super heroes. Bendis soon became hugely popular as writer of the Ultimate Spider-Man series, part of the fledgling Ultimate line revamping Marvel’s major characters for 21st-century readers, and went on to write multiple books in the Ultimate line. In the mainstream Marvel Universe, he enjoyed a long and critically acclaimed run as writer of Daredevil and has written Secret War, House of M, Secret Invasion, Alias, and The Pulse. In 2004, Bendis radically revamped Marvel’s longrunning Avengers property as writer of the “Avengers Disassembled” storyline and the subsequent best-selling New Avengers series. Its Bendis-scribed spin-offs include New Avengers: Illuminati, Dark Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Spider-Woman and the relaunched Avengers.

His work on the Amazon Princess doubled sales on the series nearly overnight, quickly establishing Deodato as one of the hottest artists of the 1990s. Working under a two-year exclusive contract with Marvel Comics, he illustrated such series as Avengers, Thor, Elektra, Spider-Man and Incredible Hulk.

After refining his inimitable style on his creatorowned series Jade Warriors, he returned to Marvel Comics for a second turn on Incredible Hulk, with writer Bruce Jones. Following stints on Brian Michael Bendis’ New Avengers and J. Michael Straczynski’s Amazing Spider-Man, he helped launch Warren Ellis’ brave new take on Thunderbolts and reconnected with Bendis on Dark Avengers to chronicle the exploits of Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign super-team.

Now, can Peter summon the necessary power, and bear the weight of responsibility for one more battle? His Aunt May is there. So is his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. As Spider-Man fights on with a seemingly mortal wound, their lives hang in the balance as well as his. Can Spidey succeed where he previously failed? Will he have to give his life to earn redemption? Uncle Ben is dead. What will Peter do to keep Aunt May alive?

It’s a brave new city! As the costs of Spider-Island continue to rise, Spidey’s first enemy returns! The Vulture is back and making kids do his high-flying dirty work for him. Will Spidey be able to stop this flying Fagan from twisting young runaways before another boy falls from the sky? Then: the return of the Sinister Six!

Pak studied political science at Yale, history as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and film production at New York University. Pak’s first feature, the sciencefiction anthology film Robot Stories, won 35 awards and is available on DVD from Kino. A lifelong comic-book fan, Pak broke into the industry when his agent sent Marvel Comics the Robot Stories screenplay as a writing sample.

After penning a Warlock reboot for Marvel, Pak made a splash as writer of the X-Men: Phoenix — Endsong limited series. His Incredible Hulk run — highlighted by the “Planet Hulk” and “World War Hulk” storylines — became a huge success with both critics and readers. In addition to the acclaimed Magneto Testament miniseries with artist Carmine Di Giandomenico and a revival of Marvel’s War Machine with artist Leonardo Manco, Pak wrote Dynamite’s Battlestar Galactica maxi-series and contributed to Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology.

Artist Mike McKone was pegged as an industry superstar when he was first published in DC’s JLA and Legion. In 2001, McKone collaborated with writer Judd Winick to launch Exiles, a surprise hit among Xfans. Two years later, he teamed with writer Geoff Johns to revamp Teen Titans for DC. Since signing an exclusive contract with Marvel, McKone’s credits include Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man and Avengers Academy.

“When I first started working at Marvel seven years ago, Astonishing X-Men was my favorite book and my fantasy dream gig. I was writing X-Men: Phoenix – Endsong at the time, and was hugely inspired by the voices that Joss Whedon had developed for so many key characters.”

Writer Jason Aaron wasted little time making an impact in the comics industry, collaborating with artist Cameron Stewart on The Other Side for DC/Vertigo. The five-part series explored the psychological horror of the Vietnam War through the eyes of two enemy soldiers, earning Aaron inclusion on the Washington Post’s “Best Comics of 2007” list. Aaron’s next project, Scalped, featured a Native American FBI officer going undercover in the criminal underground of his boyhood reservation. Scalped’s industrywide praise earned Aaron a guest-spot on Wolverine, collaborating with artist Howard Chaykin. After becoming exclusive to Marvel Comics, Aaron completed another run on Wolverine, as well as stints on Black Panther and Ghost Rider before moving on to launch Wolverine Weapon X and relaunch Wolverine.

Chris Bachalo spent the early years of his career in collaboration with writer Neil Gaiman; his quirky visual style proved a perfect fit for the offbeat Sandman character Death. His work on Death: The High Cost of Living and its sequel, Death: The Time of Your Life, helped build a profile that would later see him make inroads with Marvel.

His initial work on Generation X began a long association with the X-Universe across various titles that saw him become a fan-favorite artist of Marvel’s mutants. Since then, he’s made forays into the Ultimate Universe and a big splash in the “Brand New Day” era of Amazing Spider-Man. His art has also graced the pages of New Avengers and the Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man limited series.

By the end of the decade, he was a star on the rise, writing fan favorites Scene of the Crime, Sleeper, Catwoman and Gotham Central for DC Comics. His ascent went into overdrive with a move to Marvel, starting a new Captain America series with courageous story directions and sensitive character portrayals that won over fans new and old. Bringing his talents to the mutant side of the Marvel Universe, he gave readers an audacious take on the history of the X-Men with X-Men: Deadly Genesis. The story received such acclaim it resulted in a regular writing gig on Uncanny X-Men, reigniting a spark in Marvel’s flagship mutant-universe title. He and longtime art partner Michael Lark were also handed the keys to Daredevil after Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev’s legendary run concluded, and the pair didn’t miss a beat. In addition, Brubaker jump-started Immortal Iron Fist with co-writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja. Brubaker’s creator-owned Criminal and Incognito are published by Marvel’s Icon imprint.

British-born artist Alan Davis took off like a rocket after his humble beginnings at Marvel U.K. Continuing the collaboration with Alan Moore that saw Captain Britain become an enduring critical and fan favorite, the two cocreated D.R. and Quinch and worked together on the taboo-shattering Marvelman. Davis broke into U.S. comics with runs on Batman and the Outsiders and Detective Comics. Hired by Marvel U.S. in 1986, Davis co-created Excalibur with Chris Claremont, and the book quickly became one of Marvel mutantdom’s most unique and humorous titles. When Davis took over as writer, he continued many plot threads from his Captain Britain run. Davis also created the super-hero family ClanDestine, and wrote and drew the DC miniseries JLA: The Nail. After a lengthy arc writing and drawing X-Men, Davis went on to work on the miniseries Killraven, Fantastic Four: The End and a ClanDestine revival. Davis has become one of comics’ most popular and versatile artists, and frequently contributes cover art to a wide variety of titles.

But she’s not in Oz, either! L. Frank Baum’s magical world comes to life once again as our beloved Dorothy Gale takes yet another unexpected trip to a mystical, faraway land. This time, Dorothy winds up in the land of Ev; she meets new friends such as Tik-Tok the mechanical man and Billina, perhaps the cleverest chicken you’ll ever encounter. Dorothy will also have to face the wicked Nome King, who’s imprisoned the royal family of Ev. Lucky for her, she’ll get help from her Oz friends such as the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow — along with the new Queen of Oz, the lovely Ozma! But can even their combined might win the day and see Dorothy back home?

After creating more than 800 colonies, the United Nations Space Command has encountered the Covenant — an alien race bent on obliterating humanity. The burnt cinder that used to be the peaceful farming world Harvest and its millions of dead colonists serve as testimony to the Covenant’s intentions. But if Dr. Catherine Halsey can equip the UNSC’s super-soldiers, the Spartans, in her new MJOLNIR armor, humanity just might stand a fighting chance against the aliens’ seemingly unstoppable campaign. Covenant continues the adaptation of Eric Nylund’s novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, based on the international videogame sensation.

Besides being one of the writers for the Emmy Award-winning animated series Robot Chicken, Zeb Wells has made a name for himself as a rising star writer for Marvel. His irreverent New Warriors limited series provided an early inspiration for key story threads that would later appear in Civil War; he also wrote the Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways tie-in. His collaboration with the late Seth Fisher on Fantastic Four/ Iron Man: Big in Japan produced one of the most charming comics of the decade. Other credits include Daredevil: Battlin’ Jack Murdock, Venom: Dark Origin, Dark Reign: Elektra and one of the finest Marvel Comics of the last decade, Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One. Wells also worked on the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man and relaunched New Mutants with artist Diogenes Neves.

After his scintillating debut on Uncanny X-Men while barely out of his teens, Joe Maduereira immediately joined the ranks of fan-favorite artists like Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri. His innovative character designs and explosive layouts attracted a huge following in the ’90s, and his popularity reached a fever pitch after his work on the Age of Apocalypse and Onslaught events helped transform the Marvel Universe.

After leaving Marvel for Wildstorm to develop his creator-owned Battle Chasers title, he left comic art for the video-game industry. He made a triumphant return to Marvel Comics with Jeph Loeb’s Ultimates 3.

Cleveland-born Brian Michael Bendis broke into the comic-book field during the early 1990s as a writer-artist with a flair for crime fiction. Initially publishing creator-owned titles such as A.K.A. Goldfish and Jinx through Caliber Comics, he later moved Jinx to Image Comics — where he co-created the truecrime comic Torso, worked on Todd McFarlane’s Sam and Twitch and Hellspawn and created Powers, a series following the adventures of police detectives in a world of super heroes. Bendis soon became hugely popular as writer of the Ultimate Spider-Man series, part of the fledgling Ultimate line revamping Marvel’s major characters for 21st-century readers, and went on to write multiple books in the Ultimate line. In the mainstream Marvel Universe, he enjoyed a long and critically acclaimed run as writer of Daredevil and has written Secret War, House of M, Secret Invasion, Alias, and The Pulse. In 2004, Bendis radically revamped Marvel’s long-running Avengers property as writer of the “Avengers Disassembled” storyline and the subsequent best-selling New Avengers series. Its Bendis-scribed spin-offs include New Avengers: Illuminati, Dark Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Spider-Woman and the relaunched Avengers.

Chris Samnee has drawn comics for major and indie publishers including Marvel, DC/Vertigo and Oni Press. His credits include the Vertigo graphic novel Area 10 with writer Christos Gage and the series Thor: The Mighty Avenger with writer Roger Langridge.

Before joining Marvel Comics, writer Matt Fraction established his reputation as an emerging new talent with his work on Last of the Independents. Fraction’s tale of a bank robbery gone wrong earned him a coveted “A” grade from Entertainment Weekly, as well as interest from Marvel. After taking on a short story assignment in the anthology title X-Men Unlimited, Fraction was handpicked to launch two of Marvel’s biggest projects for 2006: Punisher War Journal with artist Ariel Olivetti, and Immortal Iron Fist, with cowriter Ed Brubaker and artist David Aja. Both series met with overwhelming critical and fan acclaim, selling out their respective first issues within days of release. This led to two even bigger projects: The launching of Invincible Iron Man, a high-profile first issue premiering the same month as the blockbuster film; and Uncanny X-Men, written in tandem with Immortal Iron Fist partner Brubaker. In addition to his Marvel work, Fraction writes Casanova, an offbeat series illustrated by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, and has completed Five Fists of Science, pitting Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla against Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan. He is also a talented filmmaker and graphic designer, co-founding the MK12 firm with a worldwide client base that includes Adidas, MTV and Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Fraction remains one of Marvel’s most popular writers; his credits include a solo turn on Uncanny X-Men, and the post-Siege epic Thor and its successor The Mighty Thor. Fraction has been named one of the Marvel Architects, the core writers most responsible for providing the foundation upon which the contemporary Marvel Universe is built. He lived up to that billing as author of the status-quo-shattering Fear Itself event.

A comic-book veteran whose career stretches back to the early 1990s, Pasqual Ferry has established himself as one of the Ultimate line’s most vital artists. Taking the reins of Ultimate Iron Man II, Ferry has worked with writer Orson Scott Card to bring out the inherent dynamism of Iron Man and War Machine’s futuristic armor. He was also writer Mike Carey’s art partner on Ultimate Fantastic Four. Other work includes Young Avengers Special #1, and Ultimate X-Men/Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate Fantastic Four/Ultimate X-Men for Marvel, and Mister Miracle and Adam Strange: Planet Heist for DC Comics.

Beginning his career in animation working on such films as The Iron Giant, Anastasia and Titan A.E., Rick Remender has since become a comic-book triple threat — writing, penciling and inking numerous fan-favorite series. While providing album cover art for punk bands like NOFX and Lagwagon, Remender has created some of today’s most popular independent titles, such as Fear Agent, The End League and Strange Girl. In 2008, the writer turned his focus to Marvel Comics, where he began by co-writing Punisher War Journal with Matt Fraction. Their well-received run on the book led to the Remender-helmed relaunch Punisher. He has also penned Doctor Voodoo, Avenger of the Supernatural; and Venom.

Brazilian artist Greg Tocchini got his start at age 15 on various role-playing games. His Marvel credits include 1602: New World, Thor: Son of Asgard and The Odyssey, as well as issues of X-Men and Spider-Man Unlimited, Captain America and the Falcon, Doctor Spectrum and Ms. Marvel. Elsewhere, he has illustrated The First, Meridian, Route 666 and Demon Wars for CrossGen; and the Green Lantern miniseries Ion for DC.

The five-part series explored the psychological horror of the Vietnam War through the eyes of two enemy soldiers, earning Aaron inclusion on the Washington Post’s “Best Comics of 2007” list. Aaron’s next project, Scalped, featured a Native American FBI officer going undercover in the criminal underground of his boyhood reservation. Scalped’s industrywide praise earned Aaron a guest-spot on Wolverine, collaborating with artist Howard Chaykin. After becoming exclusive to Marvel Comics, Aaron completed another run on Wolverine, as well as stints on Black Panther and Ghost Rider before moving on to launch Wolverine Weapon X and relaunch Wolverine.

Artist Marc Silvestri needs no introduction to X-Men fans, as this industry giant entered the upper echelon of comic innovators in the late 1980s during fan-favorite, record-breaking runs on Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. Silvestri left Marvel in 1992 to cofound Image Comics; his imprint, Top Cow, is one of its four long-standing autonomous studios. At Image, Silvestri created some of today’s most popular comic-book properties, including Cyberforce, Witchblade, Weapon Zero and The Darkness.

“Though it’s been done in the past, Aaron successfully walks the line of ‘who is the real monster’ when analyzing the two sides of the coin.” - iGN

Deadpool never thought it would happen to him. He never thought his new life as a non-killing dad would start out so blissfully and end up like this — with his wife having all the espionage-themed fun and him at home taking care of a screaming baby, wondering when its batteries will run out. Can Deadpool pull his life back together, save his marriage and stop the spread of the deadly Liquid X? Probably not, but one out of three ain’t bad. Then, when Deadpool goes AWOL, Hydra Bob knows that if anyone finds out, he’ll spend the rest of his miserable days in a very deep and dark hole. With the world on the brink of Armageddon, Bob must don Deadpool’s abandoned duds and go it alone. But will years of experience and red tights be enough to stop the terrorist plans of the deadly Moon Knights and their stockpile of Liquid X? Hell no.

After the fallout — nuclear and otherwise — of the Merc with a Mouth’s antics in Arizona, the government is faced with an impossible question: what to do with Deadpool? Luckily, Deadpool’s gamma-powered legal defense team provides an answer: stick him in an institution! When you think about it, it might be the only solution — after all, he really does need some professional help … as well as protection from the enemy: himself.

Tom DeFalco’s earliest comic-book scripts were for Archie and DC; he soon moved to Marvel, where he wrote for Avengers, Machine Man and other titles, also launching Dazzler, a hit series of the early ’80s. In addition to writing long and well-received runs on Amazing Spider-Man and Thor, he edited many titles, eventually becoming editor in chief. During the 1980s, he headed the creative team that provided fictional biographies for G.I. Joe members, originally included with Hasbro’s toys and later used as the basis for multiple storylines on the animated series. Perhaps his best-known work is multi-title character Spider-Girl, whom he introduced. DeFalco has authored multiple books, including Ultimate Guides for Avengers, Fantastic Four, Hulk and Spider-Man.

Beginning his career in animation working on such films as The Iron Giant, Anastasia and Titan A.E., Rick Remender has since become a comic-book triple threat — writing, penciling and inking numerous fan-favorite series. While providing album cover art for punk bands like NOFX and Lagwagon, Remender has created some of today’s most popular independent titles, such as Fear Agent, The End League and Strange Girl. In 2008, the writer turned his focus to Marvel Comics, where he began by co-writing Punisher War Journal with Matt Fraction. Their well-received run on the book led to the Remender-helmed relaunch Punisher. He has also penned Doctor Voodoo, Avenger of the Supernatural; and Venom.

Artist Patrick Zircher got his start illustrating RPG-based comics for Eclipse and 3-D comics for Blackthorne during the late 1980s, and drew Now Comics’ Green Hornet. Debuting at Marvel with a lengthy New Warriors run, his notable credits include Venom: Along Came a Spider, Star Trek: Early Voyages, Iron Man: The Iron Age, Thunderbolts, Cable & Deadpool and Iron Man.

“It’s going to be a fun year. I’m definitely planning on interconnecting the three titles (Avengers, New Avengers and Secret Avengers), and having a lot of things hopping from one to the other, which is fun. I can create my own little covert universe.” – Rick Remender, writer

Jonathan Hickman is the award-winning writer and artist of critically acclaimed indie titles Pax Romana, Transhuman and The Nightly News, a six-part comic series analyzing the powerful influence of the mainstream media on life in the 21st century. His work for Marvel includes stories published in the anthologies Legion of Monsters, Astonishing Tales and Strange Tales. Teaming with writer Brian Michael Bendis, he launched Secret Warriors, a spin-off from the events of Secret Invasion.

He has also scribed the five-issue Dark Reign: Fantastic Four limited series, which served as a warm-up for his run on Fantastic Four, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. regular series. Named one of Marvel’s Architects, the company’s cornerstone writers, Hickman entered the Ultimate Universe with the Ultimate Thor miniseries.

Hailing from Croatia, artist Esad Ribic broke into the U.S. comic industry with 4 Horseman with writer Robert Rodi. His classic Europeaninfluenced artistic style garnered attention from Marvel Comics, leading to a career-making series of painted covers for Wolverine and Kingpin. Ribic also illustrated fan-favorite character Gambit’s debut in the pages of Ultimate X-Men. Ribic’s stunning interior artwork on the Rodipenned Loki elicited many critical comparisons to legendary artist Alex Ross, firmly establishing him as one of the industry’s premier painters.

Ribic’s interior art also graced the stunning Silver Surfer: Requiem and Sub-Mariner: The Depths.
