About the Author

Canadian writer Jed MacKay has built an extensive list of credits at Marvel -- including such titles as Edge of Spider-Geddon, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther, Daughters of the Dragon and Man Without Fear. His career caught fire in 2019 with Black Cat, a character-defining phenomenon. MacKay has built on that success with his highly entertaining take on Taskmaster; a high-profile relaunch of Moon Knight; and Death of Doctor Strange, which led Clea to become the new Sorcerer Supreme in Strange.

Artist Pasqual Ferry became one of the most vital creators of Marvel's Ultimate line. In writer Orson Scott Card's Ultimate Iron Man II, Ferry brought out the bleeding-edge dynamism of Iron Man's armor. He was also writer Mike Carey's art partner on Ultimate Fantastic Four. His other work includes Ultimate X-Men/Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate Fantastic Four/Ultimate X-Men. Ferry helped writer Chip Zdarsky answer the question "What if Spider-Man had kept his symbiotic black costume?" in Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow.
