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.
New   York Times best-selling author Mark   Waid has worked for every major company in the   comics industry in a nearly three-decade-long career, writing thousands of   issues, including runs of Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men, Ka-Zar and Fantastic   Four. His other works of note include his   collaboration with painter Alex Ross on Kingdom   Come, which earned an Eisner Award for Best   Limited Series. Waid enjoyed his greatest outpouring of critical acclaim with   the Eisner Award-winning Daredevil — which included a revered collaboration with frequent   artistic partner Chris Samnee. He later took on such diverse pop-cultural   icons as Princess Leia and Archie, and ushered in a new era of greatness for   Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in All-New, All-Different   Avengers. His Marvel work continued with Avengers, Black   Widow, Captain America, Champions   and Doctor Strange.

After   making his debut on Marvel’s X-Force, artist Mat Broome moved to Image. He penciled a lengthy run on Stormwatch, the Defcon 4 miniseries and several   issues of WildC.A.Ts,   including the finale of writer Alan Moore’s memorable run. After contributing   to Acclaim’s Shadowman   revival, Broome penciled short arcs on Gambit and Batman,   and then co-wrote and illustrated Image’s Skinners and Saffire — the latter through his own studio imprint, Digital Broome.   Broome penciled Chaos’ Mummy: Valley of the Gods and the Dabel Brothers’ Wood Boy one-shots, followed by Dark Horse’s End   League and Marvel’s Adam:   Legend of the Blue Marvel miniseries.
Prolific   creator Tony Daniel penciled a   memorable X-Force run.   At Image, he illustrated Alan Moore’s Spawn: Blood   Feud miniseries and the entire run of The Tenth. Daniel wrote and drew   Image’s F5 and Dark   Horse’s Silke   miniseries, establishing himself as a double threat. After a short stint at   Top Cow penciling Tomb Raider, and writing and drawing HumanKind, Daniel moved to DC. He illustrated Geoff Johns’ Teen Titans and Bart Allen’s death   in Flash, and teamed   with Grant Morrison on Batman. Daniel wrote and drew the Batman:   Battle for the Cowl miniseries, and then became   the regular Batman   writer and artist. He went on to write Savage   Hawkman, and write and draw Detective Comics, for DC’s New 52.
