Joe Kelly broke into Marvel in 1997, adding his own style of irreverence to Deadpool and turning the title into a cult sensation. After runs on Daredevil and X-Men, Kelly departed for DC Comics, where he delivered award-winning work on Action Comics and Superboy. He subsequently returned to Marvel, collaborating with the "Spider-Man Brain Trust" and penning several memorable arcs on Amazing Spider-Man. Kelly combined the two Marvel characters with which he is most closely associated in the riotous team-up series Spider-Man/Deadpool. Along with several fellow comic creators, Kelly established Man of Action, the studio that has produced the Ben 10 animated series. Artist Pepe Larraz penciled Spider-Island: The Amazing Spider-Girl and pitted '90s rivals against each other in Deadpool vs. X-Force. Larraz worked on titles including Wolverine & the X-Men, Uncanny Avengers, Avengers and the Star Wars: Kanan before proving himself among the industry's finest talents with House of X.

His thrilling artwork made him the ideal illustrator for the blockbuster 2021 relaunch of X-Men with writer Gerry Duggan. The vibrant work of Italian artist Emilio Laiso has graced Marvel titles including Star Wars: Rogue One Adaptation, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra and Marvel's Spider-Man: Velocity. Artist Nick Bradshaw has worked extensively in various multimedia fields, including animation and gaming. In comics, he rose to fame on Dynamite Entertainment's Army of Darkness; he has also illustrated DC Comics' Rokkin and Danger Girl. His Marvel credits include Astonishing X-Men and Uncanny X-Men Annual #3 -- the first chapter of the "Escape From the Negative Zone" three-parter continued in Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier Annual #1 and Namor: The First Mutant Annual #1. Bradshaw brought his lively style to the pages of Jason Aaron's Wolverine & the X-Men, and revisits Peter Parker's early days in Spidey.
