Ed Brubaker is one of the most acclaimed writers in comics, a
multiple Eisner Award winner. Following fan-favorite runs on Scene
of the Crime, Sleeper, Catwoman and Gotham Central for DC, he moved
to Marvel. His Captain America relaunch, in which he
controversially revived Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier, won
over fans new and old, and his revisionist take on the history of
Marvel's mutants in X-Men- Deadly Genesis resulted in a regular gig
on Uncanny X-Men, Marvel's flagship X-title. He and longtime
artistic collaborator Michael Lark took up the baton on Daredevil
after Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's legendary run
concluded, and Brubaker jump-started Immortal Iron Fist with
co-writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja. Marvel's Icon imprint
published Brubaker's creator-owned Criminal and Incognito, and he
has gone on to further success at Image Comics with such titles as
Fatale, Velvet and The Fade Out. Beyond comics, Brubaker has
written for TV's Westworld and co-created the crime drama Too Old
to Die Young.

Malaysian-American artist Billy Tan, having gained attention
drawing projects including Tomb Raider and Tales of Witchblade for
Top Cow, joined Marvel in 2004. He illustrated X-23 and Marvel
Knights Spider-Man before a career-making run on Uncanny X-Men
propelled him into the spotlight. Named a Marvel Young Gun in 2007,

Born in Mandeville, Jamaica, Clayton Henry moved to the United
States at age 3. Inspired by his father's artwork at an early age,
Henry's childhood was consumed by his artistic passion, filling
dozens of spiral-bound notebooks with his illustrations. At age 22,
Henry received a call from famed creator Brian Haberlin to lend his
pencils to a comic book based on the legendary hip-hop group the
Wu-Tang Clan. Despite his well-regarded work on the title Nine
Rings of the Wu Tang Clan, Henry's career developed slowly. At his
lowest point, the artist even temporarily dropped out of the
business to accept a job at a local home-improvement store. Yet
Henry's unyielding belief in his talents pushed him to continue on;
in 2002, those efforts paid off with an assignment on X-Men
Unlimited. Henry's impressive work on the anthology title earned
him assignments on Exiles, Alpha Flight, X-Men- Apocalypse vs.
Dracula and Uncanny X-Men, on which he teamed with Billy Tan to
collaborate on Ed Brubaker's "Rise and Fall of the Sh'iar Empire"
space opera.
After breaking into comics with the Marvel UK imprint, Spanish

Blindspot, X-Men- Emperor Vulcan, Mighty Avengers, Wolverine and
