Christos Gage sold his first screenplay in 1997 and has been working steadily ever since; he started writing comics in 2004 with DC’s Deadshot miniseries, featuring the sharpshooting antihero from Suicide Squad. He then began co-writing Avengers: The Initiative with Dan Slott, which led to him becoming the sole writer on the book and its successor, Avengers Academy. His additional Marvel credits include Civil War: Casualties of War, House of M: Avengers, Iron Man, Union Jack and World War Hulk: X-Men, as well as a prominent run on X-Men: Legacy. Sean Ryan started as an intern at Marvel Comics in 2003. Since then, he has worked as an editor at both Marvel and DC. His writing credits include assorted one-shots and limited series for Marvel, as well as the New Suicide Squad series for DC. Robbie Thompson is a comic-book and TV writer. His TV credits include the sci-fi hit Supernatural on The CW, The New Woody Wood Pecker Show for Cartoon Network, Human Target for Fox and The Cape for NBC. He also wrote Ark, an original science-fiction series, for Oni Press that was then developed into a web series by 60 Frames Studios. Thompson is writer of the Marvel Comics series Silk. After fine-tuning his craft at Image, artist Todd Nauck made a name for himself on DC’s Young Justice in collaboration with writer Peter David. At Marvel, he reunited with David for Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and, in a later engagement with the web-head, drew the Obama/Spidey team-up in Amazing Spider-Man #583 – giving Nauck the honor of illustrating one of the highest-selling Spidey stories of all time.
