Fan-Favorite Brazilian artist Mike Deodato Jr.'s style ranges from high energy drawings to a noir photorealism. Deodato's lifelong love for comics comes from his late father, a comics artist himself, who guided his son's artistic growth. In the '90s, Deodato Jr. took the US market by assault, switching his original realist style to a more dynamic one, influenced by early Image Comics, and made his name with a popular run on DC Comics' Wonder Woman. Soon, Deodato Jr. became one of the most prolific and in-demand artists of that decade, with credits that include Marvel's Avengers, Elektra, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, and Thor. Eventually, he reduced his workload and reinvented his art once again, creating a darker, more detailed style, experimenting with it in a Nightcrawler story showcased in X-Men Unlimited.

Deodato then managed to draw one of his favorite series to date: The Incredible Hulk, written by Bruce Jones. After many years as a Marvel exclusive artist, some of his credits include Witches, New Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man, Thunderbolts, Infinity Wars, Savage Avengers, and Marvel Comics #1000.In 2020, he decided it was time for a career shift to dedicate himself to creator-owned projects. After publishing Berserker Unbound with Jeff Lemire, he signed an exclusive contract with AWA, teaming up with J. Michael Straczynski for THE RESISTANCE, and later winning his first-ever Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication along with writer Mark Russell for NOT ALL ROBOTS.
