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.
Cody Ziglar is an Emmy nominated LA based writer, director, and podcast producer. He currently writes for Futurama and Marvel Comics. He's also written for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Rick & Morty, Robot Chicken, and Craig of the Creek. His Marvel work includes a hit run on Spider-Man: Miles Morales, as well as a widely acclaimed miniseries on another breakout star wall-crawler from the Spider-Verse animated films, Spider-Punk. Erica Schultz is the writer and co-creator of M3, and has written various titles for Bluewater Comics. In addition to being one of the "Motioneers" who helped bring the Astonishing X-Men: Gifted motion comic to life, Schultz has worked on design and layout for Dennis Calero and Todd Stashwick's Devil Inside, as well as Nicholas Dedual's Torchbearer. John Romita Jr. is a modern-day comic-art master, following in his legendary father's footsteps. Timeless runs on Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil established him as his own man artistically, and his work on Wolverine and World War Hulk is among the most explosive comic art of the 21st century. In addition to Eternals with writer Neil Gaiman, JRJR teamed with Mark Millar on the creator-owned Kick-Ass, later developed into a blockbuster feature film starring Nicolas Cage. Spidey fans rejoiced at the artist's return to Amazing Spider-Man with the "Brand New Day" storylines "New Ways To Die" and "Character Assassination." He later helped relaunch Avengers with writer Brian Michael Bendis and Captain America with Rick Remender, and contributed to the blockbuster crossover Avengers vs. X-Men. For DC Comics, he drew big-name characters such as Superman, Batman and the Suicide Squad before making a welcome return home to Marvel and Amazing Spider-Man. After cutting his teeth at Dark Horse drawing Joker/Mask and several Star Wars comics, Spanish artist Ramon Bachs illustrated runs on Wildstorm's Gen13 and DC's Detective Comics. He soon brought his gritty style to Marvel, teaming with writer Paul Jenkins on the Decimation limited series Generation M. The pair reunited for the smash hit Civil War: Front Line and teamed again for its sequel World War Hulk: Front Line. Bachs illustrated the send-up Marvel Apes limited series and returned to DC to pencil Red Robin and Azrael. Federico Vicentini is a fast-rising star, having proved his flair for drawing web-slinging action with a pair of wall-crawlers on Amazing Spider-Man and Absolute Carnage: Miles Morales. Vicentini illustrated the Falcon and Winter Soldier team-up series before turning his attention to another high-profile Marvel character, teaming with writer Benjamin Percy on X Deaths of Wolverine and then the ongoing Wolverine title. Increasingly in demand, Vicentini contributed to the Heroes Reborn event and made his mark on another Marvel epic, tackling the A.X.E. Avengers one-shot.
