Gerry Duggan received the education he needed to write from a steady diet of comic books and Late Night With 

David Letterman. He didn’t know that...so he wasted a ton of money on a pricey diploma from emerson college 

in Boston. after graduating, he arrived in los angeles and hooked up almost immediately with Brian posehn. together, 

they’ve written Marvel noW!’s Deadpool, The Simpsons and The Last Christmas, the true story of Santa 

claus after the apocalypse. Both he and artist phil noto earned eisner award nominations for The Infinite Horizon, 

a re-imagininging of The Odyssey in a dystopian future. 

Brian Posehn was born a long time ago and fell in love with comic books at a very young age. He decided to wait 

to write them until he was in his forties. Before embarking on a career in comic-book writing, he floated through a 

series of odd jobs — including standup comedy, tv writing, and film and sitcom acting. Since arriving at Marvel, 

he feels he’s found his true calling, but will continue to do “the other crap” “for fun.” posehn’s collaborations with 

gerry Duggan include The Last Christmas, a Jaws parody for The Simpsons’ treehouse of Horror comics, some 

screenplays and tv ideas you’ll never see, and a baby they’re raising together in the basement of a local abandoned 

sanitarium. 

artist Tony Moore, the co-creator with robert Kirkman of pop-culture phenomenon The Walking Dead, has 

also collaborated with rick remender on Fear Agent and Simon oliver on The Exterminators. at Marvel, Moore 

reunited with remender for the cult hit Franken-Castle and the relaunched Venom.

Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun with stories and characterizations friendly to new 

readers. Following a run on She-Hulk — which combined his sly humor and encyclopedic Marvel knowledge with 

an imaginative take on a comic-book law firm — 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 a thrice-monthly Amazing Spider- 

Man. through three years and a hundred issues, Slott became the writer most closely identified with the webslinger’s 

“Brand new Day” era. Amazing hit the “Big time” when Slott took over as full-time writer, chronicling a 

new chapter in the life of peter parker with artists such as Humberto ramos, Stefano caselli and Marcos Martin. 

Ryan Stegman’s lush and charming pencils first gained raves in the Marvel adaptation of raymond e. Feist’s 

Magician: Apprentice and Riftwar. the popularity of his work there led to assignments on Incredible Hulk, Marvel 

Adventures Spider-Man, Incredible Hercules and She-Hulks. With writer chris Yost, he launched a new incarnation 

of Scarlet Spider. 

italian artist Giuseppe Camuncoli made his Marvel comics debut in 2002 on Spider-Man’s Tangled Web. His 

subsequent Marvel credits include a pair of Ms. Marvel specials; forays into the worlds of Annihilation and Immortal 

Iron Fist; and the miniseries X-Infernus, which reestablished illyana rasputin as a central character in the 

X-universe. He later helped launch Wolverine’s son into his own title with Daken: Dark Wolverine and teamed with 

writer Dan Slott on Amazing Spider-Man. His other work includes Dc’s Detective Comics, Jonah Hex, Hellblazer, 

The Intimates, Robin and Swamp Thing.

living avatars of destruction and creation. they 

have transformed earth into a utopia — but deep 

underground, Hell awaits. Mr. Sinister, mutant geneticist 

and longtime X-Men foe, has created an entire city and

populated it with his own clones. the phoenix Five set 

out to exterminate Sinister, but even the phoenix Force’s 

power can’t prevent them from walking into a trap. as 

cyclops and his team investigate Sinister london, they 

have no idea they’ll soon be facing weaponized X-Men 

clones, forgotten faces from their past and — for the 

first time since they bonded with the phoenix — the 

very real threat of total defeat and death.

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. His work on Death: The High Cost 

of Living and its sequel, Death: The Time of Your 

Life, helped build a profile that would later see him 

make inroads with Marvel. His initial work on Generation 

X began a long association with the X-Universe 

across various titles that saw him become a fanfavorite 

artist of 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 miniseries.

Writer Matt Fraction established his reputation as an 

emerging talent with his work on Last of the Independents, 

which earned an “A” grade from Entertainment 

Weekly. After contributing to the X-Men Unlimited anthology, 

Fraction launched Punisher War Journal with artist 

Ariel Olivetti and Immortal Iron Fist with co-writer Ed 

Brubaker and artist David Aja — both of which met with 

critical and fan acclaim. Next came Invincible Iron Man 

with artist Salvador Larroca, premiering the same month 

as the blockbuster film; and Uncanny X-Men, written in 

tandem with Brubaker. Also a talented filmmaker and 

graphic designer, Fraction remains one of Marvel’s most 

popular writers. His credits include a solo turn on Uncanny 

X-Men, the post-Siege epic Thor and its successor The 

Mighty Thor, the 2011 blockbuster Fear Itself, and the 

relaunched Defenders. In addition to his Marvel work, 

Fraction writes Casanova, illustrated by Gabriel Bá and 

Fábio Moon, and Five Fists of Science, pitting Mark Twain 

and Nikola Tesla against Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan.

Artist Michael Allred debuted in late 1989 with Slave 

Labor Graphics’ Dead Air, but the Tundra Publishing debut 

of Madman immediately established him as a leading 

creative force in the industry and earned him three Eisner 

Award nominations and a Harvey Award win for Best New 

Series. Allred followed the series with Dark Horse’s sci-fi/ 

rock’n’roll multi-media project (a film, an album, a comic) 

Red Rocket 7 and AAA Pop’s The Atomics. He came to 

Marvel in 2001, helping relaunch the pop-inspired and 

acclaimed X-Force (later X-Statix). He later illustrated 

The Golden Plates, an adaptation of the book of Mormon, 

and began on a new Madman series, Madman Atomic 

Comics series for Image Comics. He and Neil Gaiman 

created the Metamorpho story in DC Comic’s Eisner- and 

Harvey Award-winning Wednesday Comics. Allred is also 

an accomplished filmmaker, actor and singer/guitarist 

for The Gear who will release their third album, The Sane 

Insane, in 2012. Color blind, he’s more than lucky to have 

the Eisner Award-winning colorist, Laura Allred, to light up

Award-winning comic-book creator Brian Michael Bendis is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream 

comics today. He has helmed a renaissance for Marvel’s popular Avengers franchise, writing every issue of New 

Avengers and launching Avengers, Mighty Avengers and Dark Avengers. He has also written the event projects House 

of M, Secret War, Secret Invasion and Siege. Bendis is one of the architects of Marvel’s Ultimate line of comics, having 

written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its launch in 1999, as well as Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate 

X-Men, Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin, Ultimate Six and the Ultimate Enemy trilogy. The introduction of 

multiracial Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales made USA Today’s front page and went on to become a hotbed topic on 

Fox News, CNN, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Howard Stern Show and more. Bendis’ creator-owned projects 

include Scarlet with Alex Maleev, Brilliant with Mark Bagley, the Eisner Award-winning Powers with Mike Oeming and 

the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory. 

David Mack submitted his first Kabuki collection while still in college as his senior writing thesis. (He got an A on the 

project.) Combining innovative storytelling, painting techniques and page design, Mack has won nearly every major 

comic-industry award, including the prestigious Eisner Award for BestPainter, and garnered praise from such luminaries 

as Jim Steranko and The Washington Times. Marvel fans first witnessed Mack’s stylings when his covers graced the 

legendary Daredevil storyline “Parts of a Hole,” which he also wrote. A few years after teaming with then-new Daredevil 

writer Brian Michael Bendis on the “Wake Up” arc, he returned to the title for the “Echo: Vision Quest” storyline, which 

reintroduced readers to the unique character he created in “Parts of a Hole.” Mack continues to write and illustrate his 

creator-owned series Kabuki, now published by Marvel’s Icon imprint, and has been nominated for several Eisner, Kirby 

and Harvey awards. He is also serving as the visual designer and co-producer on the forthcoming Kabuki feature film for 

20th Century Fox. 

Klaus Janson is a veteran comic book artist best known as a distinctive and respected inker, working multiple titles for

Bill Sienkiewicz had a major impact on the comic-book field, with his innovative blend of collage, illustration techniques 

and storytelling. His influential work garnered industry-wide acclaim, and earned him nearly every major comic 

book illustration award in the United States and abroad. His credits include Elektra: Assassin, for which he received the 

prestigious Yellow Kid Award, and the critically acclaimed Stray Toasters, which he wrote and illustrated. In addition to 

his work in the comic-book industry, Sienkiewicz has also added his talents to TV and movie projects, including the film 

Unforgiven and the animated series Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, for which he received two Emmy nominations. 

Sienkiewicz was also selected to produce the artwork for the critically acclaimed painted biography Voodoo 

Child: The Illustrated Legend of Jimi Hendrix, published by Viking Penguin. He divides his time between comic books 

and classic illustration, with his work continuing to inspire a new generation of innovative artists.

The Hulk thought he was finally rid of Bruce Banner, 

his puny alter ego split from him and incinerated in the 

blast of a Gamma bomb. But somehow, buried deep 

in the Hulk’s mind, a twisted, insane Banner is back. 

And when the Hulk calms down, the maniacal doctor 

comes out to play. As Banner uses every opportunity to 

further his intricate plot, the Hulk fights to stay in the 

game in ever more bizarre locales. In a desperate bid 

to keep Banner at bay, the Hulk must stay angry! Writer 

Jason Aaron’s paradigm-shifting run roars to a conclusion 

as the Hulk faces drug-dealing dogs, backwater 

Atlanteans, Russian bears in space and a hidden city of 

sasquatches — not to mention Kraven the Hunter, the 

Punisher, the Thing, Wolverine and Dr. Doom!

Tony Stark has always been obsessed with the

the Mark I Iron Man armor or launching Stark 

Resilient, his optimism has always been guided 

by the question, “What comes next?” Six months 

after quitting Resilient, he’s found the answer. The 

sanctity of his mind violated by the Mandarin, he is a 

man beaten down to his knees, a prisoner within his 

own body, an indentured servant to an insane cause 

known only to his captor. For Tony Stark, this is the

Few people have ever left their mark on one character 

quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the 

Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights 

never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. 

Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and 

war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive 

Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard 

to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never 

the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This first 

volume begins the collection of Simonson’s epic run.

World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story, the only 

comic-book writer ever to be awarded this literary 

honor. Cited by the LA Times as “the greatest epic in 

the history of comic books,” the ten Sandman collections 

have sold several million copies and remain in 

print to this day. Having thus made his mark, Gaiman 

wrote another highly regarded series for DC with 

Books of Magic. Also noteworthy was his work on 

Eclipse Comics’ Miracleman, which he picked up 

after close friend Alan Moore left the book. In addition, 

Gaiman collaborated with Terry Pratchett on the 

wistful apocalypse novel Good Omens and in 1997 

wrote the BBC teleplay Neverwhere, a story he later 

adapted into a novel. Gaiman’s other novels, American 

Gods and his children’s book Coraline, garnered 

New York Times best-selling status and international 

acclaim including the Hugo, Nebula and Bram Stoker 

Awards. In 2001, Gaiman made his first foray into 

Marvel Comics with his series Marvel 1602, a series 

in which Gaiman took the core cast of Marvel’s Silver 

Age comics, placed them 400 years in the past and 

retold their stories in his own inimitable way.

After an artistic apprenticeship under famed father 

Joe Kubert, Andy Kubert got his start on DC’s 

space-opera variations Adam Strange and Warlord, 

as well as the best-selling crossover Batman 

vs. Predator in collaboration with brother Adam. 

Kubert’s Marvel career began with a six-year stint on 

X-Men — continuing into Thor, Ka-Zar, Ghost Rider 

and others. He collaborated with Orson Scott Card 

on Ultimate Iron Man, Neil Gaiman on Marvel 1602 

and Paul Jenkins on Wolverine: Origin. Upon his 

return to DC, he contributed to the Blackest Night 

and Flashpoint events.

“The always inventive Gaiman has concocted an 

unlikely — but fantastically successful — superhero 

comic”– Publishers Weekly 

“The Marvel Universe hasn’t been this engrossing in 

ages.” – Entertainment Weekly 

“It’s damn good.”– Comics Bulletin

Hit-Girl spins off into her own blood-soaked saga! 

Mindy McCready tries to settle into life as a regular 

schoolgirl, but wants nothing more than to be dispensing 

hot justice to the scum of New York City. Her mother 

thinks she’s doing her homework, but in reality she’s 

taken Kick-Ass on as her sidekick and training him to 

punch, shoot and stab … just like Daddy would have 

wanted. And in return, Kick-Ass is helping her learn 

110 

to survive middle school — without spilling anyone’s 

blood. But when Kick-Ass gets benched, leaving Mindy 

to take on the mafia solo, even Hit-Girl may be in over 

her head. Meanwhile, Red Mist pursues his goal of 

becoming a super-villain … and faces a final test of his 

own.
