Award-winning comic-book creator Brian   Michael Bendis is one of the most successful   writers in the industry today. In addition to an acclaimed run on Daredevil, he has helmed a   renaissance for Marvel’s popular Avengers franchise and written the event projects House of M, Secret War, Secret Invasion, Siege, Age   of Ultron and Civil War   II. Bendis wrote every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man from its launch   in 2000 before bringing his multiracial Spider-Man, Miles Morales, to the   Marvel Universe for continuing adventures. He took on Marvel’s mutants in the   pages of All-New X-Men   and Uncanny X-Men, and   launched Guardians of the Galaxy into the stratosphere. Bendis shook up the life of Tony Stark   in Invincible Iron Man   and related titles, introducing Riri Williams as Ironheart, and then   assembled street-level heroes Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil and his   co-creation Jessica Jones in Defenders. His creator-owned projects include Scarlet   with Alex Maleev, Brilliant with Mark Bagley, and Takio and the Eisner Award-winning Powers   with Michael Avon Oeming.
Award-winning artist Stuart Immonen began his comics career in 1988, having worked for most of the   industry’s major publishers — including Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Image — in   the decades since. In addition to 2011’s Fear   Itself, he has illustrated such high-profile   Marvel series as Ultimate Spider-Man, Thor, Incredible Hulk, Avengers and the cult-favorite Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. After   joining forces with Mark Waid to inaugurate Marvel’s digital Infinite Comics   line, Immonen penciled All-New X-Men in the Marvel NOW! era before taking on the ultimate   blockbuster project: Star Wars.
David Lafuente had already distinguished   himself with stunning artwork in Patsy Walker:   Hellcat, X-Men: Divided   We Stand and Ultimate   Spider-Man Annual #3 before teaming with writer Brian Michael Bendis to launch Ultimate Comics Spider-Man. He   subsequently illustrated the Fear Itself tie-in arc in New Mutants.
Hired on the strength of his Official   Marvel Tryout penciling submission, Mark Bagley rose to prominence as   the artist of 1990s sleeper hit New Warriors. Following an acclaimed run on Amazing   Spider-Man, he worked with writer Kurt Busiek on Thunderbolts. When Marvel launched   its Ultimate line, Bagley and Brian Michael Bendis led the way with Ultimate Spider-Man, whose years of   success made the pair the longest-running creative team in Marvel history.   Bendis and Bagley have also collaborated on Avengers   Assemble and the creator-owned Brilliant. His subsequent credits   include Fantastic Four,   Cataclysm: The Ultimates’ Last Stand, Hulk, All-New X-Men and Venom.
