John Francis Moore wrote memorable stints on X-Force and X-Factor,
also scripting the latter's "Age of Apocalypse" incarnation Factor
X. He returned to the AoA for the Sinister Bloodlines one-shot and
worked his way across additional timelines in Wolverine- Days of
Future Past, X-Men- Phoenix and X-Men 2099, which he wrote from
start to finish. Moore also launched Doom 2099 and wrote more than
half that series. At DC, he co-created additional alternate
realities in Chronos, Elseworld's Finest and Superman- The Dark
Side, as well as writing one-shots Batman/Scarecrow 3-D,
Batman/Poison Ivy and, in collaboration with Howard Chaykin,
Batman/Houdini, which won a Don Thompson Award for Best Graphic
Novel. Moore and Chaykin also collaborated on DC's Ironwolf- Fires
of the Revolution and First Comics' American Flagg!.
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 multi-title
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.
Artist Jim Cheung began his association with Marvel Comics in the
1990s, drawing titles such as Black Knight, Force Works, Iron Man,
Maverick and an extensive run on X-Force. He also did popular work
on the CrossGen series Scion. In 2005, Cheung launched the
critically acclaimed Young Avengers with writer Allan Heinberg. He
went on to illustrate New Avengers- Illuminati with writer Brian
Michael Bendis, and reunited with Heinberg and their signature
Young Avengers characters in Avengers- The Children's Crusade.
Cheung's modern-yet-classic style has made him highly sought-after
for covers and event series, including contributions to Infinity,
Avengers & X-Men- Axis and Civil War II.
In addition to illustrating annuals for New Mutants, X-Factor and
X-Force, Terry Shoemaker helped conclude the "Heroes Reborn"
version of Iron Man and contributed to the armored Avenger's
subsequent relaunch. He also penciled Tales of the Legion of
Super-Heroes for DC, CyberRad for Continuity and Zealot for Image,
as well several Wildstorm stories.
Tommy Lee Edwards worked his way up in the industry as an upstart
artist taking on such popular characters as Batman, Hellboy,
Daredevil and Star Trek. He soon found Hollywood fertile ground for
his talents, his influence growing after his work on film style
guides, with credits in big-budget movies such as Batman Begins,
Superman Returns and Men in Black II. Edwards provided the art for
Marvel's Bullet Points, a limited series written by the renowned J.
Michael Straczynski, and collaborated with writer Mark Millar on
the high-concept series 1985.
