Marguerite Bennett has worked for Marvel, DC and BOOM! on projects from Batman and Secret Wars to FOX’s Sleepy Hollow. She has collaborated with writers such as Scott Snyder, Kieron Gillen, Tom Taylor and Chris Claremont, and artists ranging from Stephanie Hans to Bill Sienkiewicz.
An award-winning critic and journalist, Kieron Gillen wrote for organizations such as PC Gamer, The Guardian, Rock, Paper, Shotgun and WIRED before turning his attention to comics. His previous credits include the critically lauded Phonogram with frequent creative partner Jamie McKelvie, as well as Thor, S.W.O.R.D. and Generation Hope. Gillen relaunched two long-standing Marvel series in Uncanny X-Men and Journey into Mystery before again teaming with McKelvie for an acclaimed take on Young Avengers. Gillen turned his attention to Iron Man for Marvel NOW! and proved the perfect scribe to put carefully chosen words into the mouth of a legendary Star Wars villain in Darth Vader. Gillen introduced Doctor Aphra into the galaxy far, far away in those pages, and continues her adventures in her own series.
Gerry Duggan has become one of Marvel’s most influential writers, having first made an impression at the House of Ideas with a lengthy and always surprising Deadpool run alongside his frequent writing partner, Brian Posehn. Among Duggan’s solo credits are Nova, Hulk and multiple tie-ins to the Secret Wars event. He added Deadpool to the revamped roster of Uncanny Avengers and brought his unique blend of action and humor to All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, leading up to the cosmic event series Infinity Wars. Marauders and Cable established him as a vital part of the storytelling team for the Dawn of X era, a role he has cemented further by launching the blockbuster new X-Men title. Duggan’s earlier collaboration with artist Phil Noto — The Infinite Horizon, a reimagining of Homer’s The Odyssey in a dystopian future — earned an Eisner Award nomination for Best New Series.
Stephanie Hans has provided covers for the relaunched Journey into Mystery and other Marvel titles. After illustrating Avengers Origins: Ant-Man & the Wasp, she moved from the Marvel Universe to Stephen King’s Mid-World with Dark Tower: The Gunslinger — The Way Station.
Artist Nik Virella made her professional debut in 2009 when she began her run on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. She later collaborated with writer Paul Allor on “The Gardener,” a Cobra Commander short story featured in IDW’s G.I. Joe. Her career eventually led her to Marvel and writer Cullen Bunn's Night of the Living Deadpool horror sequel, Return of the Living Deadpool.
Artist Jorge Molina’s Marvel credits include Captain America: Man Out of Time, Avengers: The Initiative, and both the initial A-Force limited series and the first four issues of the ongoing book. Molina has shown great affinity for Marvel’s mutants in the pages of X-Men, Wolverine & the X-Men and X-Men Blue.
