A writer for the Emmy Award-winning animated series Robot Chicken and co-creator of the stop-motion SuperMansion, Zeb Wells began making a name for himself at Marvel with his irreverent New Warriors limited series, which provided an 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 21st century's most charming comics. Wells' other credits include Daredevil- Battlin' Jack Murdock, Venom- Dark Origin, Dark Reign- Elektra and Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus- Year One. He also contributed to the thrice-monthly ""Brand New Day"" era of Amazing Spider-Man, most notably with the ""Shed"" storyline; wrote two Carnage limited series; and helped relaunch New Mutants. Wells has returned to the world of the wall-crawler, teaming with the legendary John Romita Jr. for a new volume of Amazing Spider-Man. He also co-wrote the 2024 blockbuster film Deadpool & Wolverine. Chris Bachalo spent the early years of his career collaborating with writer Neil Gaiman; his quirky style proved a perfect fit for the offbeat Sandman character Death in Death- The High Cost of Living and its sequel, Death- The Time of Your Life. His initial Marvel work on Generation X began a long association with the X-Universe across various titles that saw him become a fan-favorite artist for Marvel's mutants. Subsequently, he created Steampunk with Joe Kelly, and 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, as well as Marvel NOW!'s Uncanny X-Men. Bachalo helped reinvigorate Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme along with writer Jason Aaron on Doctor Strange. His subsequent work has included Deadpool and the high-octane, web-slinging action of Non-Stop Spider-Man. Artist Mike McKone was pegged as a future industry superstar when his first work was published in DC's JLA and Legion. In 2001, McKone collaborated with writer Judd Winick to launch Marvel's Exiles, a surprise hit among X-fans. 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.
