Ed Brubaker is one of the most acclaimed writers in comics, a
multiple Eisner Award winner. Following fan-favorite runs on Scene
of the Crime, Sleeper, Catwoman and Gotham Central for DC, he moved
to Marvel. His Captain America relaunch, in which he
controversially revived Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier, won
over fans new and old, and his revisionist take on the history of
Marvel's mutants in X-Men- Deadly Genesis resulted in a regular gig
on Uncanny X-Men, Marvel's flagship X-title. He and longtime
artistic collaborator Michael Lark took up the baton on Daredevil
after Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's legendary run
concluded, and Brubaker jump-started Immortal Iron Fist with
co-writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja. Marvel's Icon imprint
published Brubaker's creator-owned Criminal and Incognito, and he
has gone on to further success at Image Comics with such titles as
Fatale, Velvet and The Fade Out. Beyond comics, Brubaker has
written for TV's Westworld and co-created the crime drama Too Old
to Die Young.
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
Marvel series Thor- The Mighty Avenger with writer Roger Langridge.
He subsequently joined a team of artists including Mike Deodato Jr.
and Butch Guice on Ed Brubaker's Captain America, and helped launch
Captain America and Bucky. His two collaborations with writer Mark
Waid, on Rocketeer- Cargo of Doom and Daredevil, won him the 2013
Eisner Award for Best Penciler/Inker, shared with Hawkeye's David
Aja. Waid and Samnee continued their professional relationship on
Black Widow.
Italian comics and storyboard artist Francesco Francavilla got his
start working on series including Black Coat- A Call to Arms from
Ape Entertainment and Left on Mission from Boom! Studios. He
brought his unique artistic flair to the pages of Image Comics'
Sorrow, Dynamite's Zorro and DC's Detective Comics before making
his Marvel debut on Black Panther- The Man Without Fear.
Francavilla launched his creation, The Black Beetle, with Dark
Horse Comics.
Jackson "Butch" Guice began his Marvel career during the 1980s
penciling Micronauts, New Mutants and X-Factor. He moved to DC for
a fan-favorite run on Flash, subsequently illustrating nearly three
years' worth of Action Comics and participating in the "Death of
Superman" event. He also co-created Resurrection Man and provided
artwork for Birds of Prey. Back at Marvel, he penciled Captain
America, Iron Man, Ultimate Origins and more. He has also worked on
CrossGen's Ruse, Dark Horse's film tie-ins Terminator- Endgame and
Aliens/Predator, First's Badger and Nexus, and Valiant's Eternal
Warrior.
