Writer Jason Aaron’s early collaboration with
artist cameron Stewart on Dc/vertigo’s The Other
Side was named one of The Washington Post’s
“Best comics of 2007.” His next project, Scalped,
garnered industry-wide praise and led to a guest
spot on Wolverine. after signing with Marvel comics,
aaron completed another run on Wolverine, as
well as stints on Black Panther and Ghost Rider,
before moving on to launch Wolverine Weapon X
and relaunch Wolverine. He brought Frank castle’s
tortured tale to a devastating end in the pages of
PunisherMAX and, in the wake of his status-quoshattering
miniseries X-Men: Schism, helped usher
in a new era for Marvel’s mutants in the pages of
Wolverine and the X-Men.

croatian artist Esad Ribic broke into the u.S.
comic industry with 4 Horseman with writer robert
rodi. His classic european-influenced artistic style
garnered attention from Marvel comics, leading to a
career-making series of painted covers for Wolverine
and Kingpin. ribic also illustrated fan-favorite
character gambit’s debut in the pages of Ultimate
X-Men. ribic’s stunning interior artwork on the
rodi-penned Loki elicited critical comparisons to the
legendary alex ross, firmly establishing him as one
of the industry’s premier painters. ribic’s interior art
has also graced the stunning Silver Surfer: Requiem
and Sub-Mariner: The Depths. He went on to launch
Uncanny X-Force with writer rick remender and
Ultimate Comics Ultimates with writer Jonathan
Hickman.
