About the Author

Since his start on the New Universe's Psi-Force and backup stories in Classic X-Men, Fabian Nicieza has written most of Marvel's major super-teams -- including Alpha Flight, the Avengers, the New Warriors, the Thunderbolts and the X-Men. Together with artist Rob Liefeld, Nicieza transformed New Mutants into the blockbuster X-Force. The writer also tackled solo heroes ranging from Cable and Deadpool (later combined in Cable & Deadpool) to Gambit and Nomad. He edited Marvel's Star imprint, contributed to multititle X-events like "X-Cutioner's Song" and "Phalanx Covenant," and wrote various "pre-modern" limited series such as Adventures of Captain America and Citizen V and the V-Battalion. Elsewhere, he has written both JLA and Justice League Adventures, The 99, Turok, X-Files, and others.

Patrick "Patch" Zircher got his start illustrating RPG-based comics for Eclipse and 3D comics for Blackthorne during the late 1980s, and drew Now Comics' Green Hornet. He has been an artist in demand ever since. His notable Marvel credits across the decades include New Warriors, Venom: Along Came a Spider, Star Trek: Early Voyages, Iron Man: The Iron Age, Thunderbolts, Cable & Deadpool, Iron Man, Hulk, Mystery Men and Savage Avengers.

The son of a commercial artist and a minister, Atlanta-based artist Mark Brooks studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design. After showcasing his skills on Transformers for Dreamwave Productions and Voltron for Devil's Due, Brooks came to Marvel as penciler of the all-ages Marvel Age Spider-Man. In addition to illustrating the earliest appearances of the spider-powered teen heroine Araña with writer Fiona Avery in Amazing Fantasy, Brooks has drawn Amazing Spider-Man, Cable & Deadpool, New X-Men, Ultimate Spider-Man Annual, X-Men Unlimited, Avengers: The Initiative and Dark Reign: Young Avengers.
