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 - including 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. Artist Kev Walker cut his teeth on the venerable British comics magazine 2000 AD, eventually moving on to the publisher's flagship character Judge Dredd and other popular series. After illustrating ANNIHILATION: NOVA, Walker teamed with writer Fred Van Lente on MARVEL ZOMBIES 3 and its follow-up, MARVEL ZOMBIES 4. He also drew writer Jeff Parker's THUNDERBOLTS before joining Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum in pitting Marvel's youngest heroes against each other in the kill-or-be-killed AVENGERS ARENA. "Hopeless" and Walker reunited for the follow-up AVENGERS UNDERCOVER, while the artist has worked on numerous other AVENGERS titles.
