With a writing resume stretching across the romance,
sword-and-sorcery, and Western genres, Denny O'Neil wrote four
years of Iron Man - including some of the title's most sweeping
changes. His additional Marvel work includes runs on Amazing
Spider-Man, Daredevil and Power Man and Iron Fist, as well as the
one-shot X-Men- Heroes for Hope. At DC, his groundbreaking Green
Lantern/Green Arrow run earned him four Shazam Awards. He also
wrote and often revamped such mainstays as Batman (where he
co-created Ra's al Ghul), Flash, Superman and Wonder Woman, as well
as adaptations of classic pulp heroes Doc Savage, Justice, Inc. and
The Shadow. During the 1980s, he oversaw the groundbreaking death
of Robin (Jason Todd). He has written multiple Batman graphic
novels and novelizations, as well as The DC Comics Guide to Writing
Comics.
Roger Stern enjoyed well-regarded runs on Amazing Spider-Man, in
which he introduced Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and the
Hobgoblin; Avengers; and Captain America. He launched West Coast
Avengers and wrote numerous tie-in miniseries starring Earth's
Mightiest Heroes. At DC, he relaunched Atom and co-created Starman
(Will Payton) before participating in one of comics' most shocking
events- the 1992 "Death of Superman." He later returned to Marvel
to write Amazing Spider-Man and related titles.
Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun
with stories and characterizations friendly to new readers.
Following his run on She-Hulk, Slott moved into the upper echelon
of Marvel writers, launching Avengers- The Initiative and taking
the reins on Mighty Avengers from Brian Michael Bendis. When Marvel
gave Spider-Man a fresh start in 2008, Slott was one of several
rotating writers on the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man. Slott
became the writer most closely identified with the web-slinger's
"Brand New Day" era, and the title hit the "Big Time" when he took
over as full-time writer for a decade-long run. Slott has also
turned his talents to other iconic Marvel heroes - including
soaring the spaceways with Silver Surfer; helming Tony Stark- Iron
Man toward Iron Man 2020; and masterminding the glorious return of
Fantastic Four, leading to his long-awaited "Reckoning War." In
2022, Slott made his way back to the Spider-Verse, teaming with
legendary penciler Mark Bagley on Spider-Man.
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 has
drawn big-name characters such as Superman, Batman and the Suicide
Squad.
Artist Humberto Ramos made his American comics debut in 1994 with
DC's Impulse, featuring the Flash's brash grandson. In 1998, Ramos
launched the creator-owned Crimson under Wildstorm's Cliffhanger
imprint, illustrating the title for more than two years. He then
moved to Marvel, becoming one of the most recognizable and
innovative talents in comics. Seamlessly blending both Eastern and
Western styles, the artist's artist has worked on many of Marvel's
most iconic characters - including Spider-Man, Wolverine and the
X-Men - in addition to a run on the fan-favorite Runaways. Ramos
brought his kinetic artwork to the pages of Extraordinary X-Men and
Champions, as well as a magical collaboration with Skottie Young on
Strange Academy.
