About the Author

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. A native of Argentina, Pablo Raimondi's pursuit of a professional comic-book career brought him to New York City, where the artist took on high-profile work drawing the quintessential American heroes Superman and Batman for DC Comics. For Marvel, Raimondi has collaborated with writer Ben Raab on Excalibur, and writer Peter David on Madrox and X-Factor. He is also well known for his outstanding work alongside writer Ed Brubaker on Books of Doom. In addition, Raimondi has paired with famed G.I. Joe and Wolverine writer Larry Hama on the original sci-fi comic-book series Oxido, published by Devil's Due.
