About this title

About the Author

Since his start on the New Universe's Psi-Force and backup stories in Classic X-Men, Fabian Nicieza has written most of Marvel's major super-teams -- including Alpha Flight, the Avengers, the New Warriors, the Thunderbolts and the X-Men. Together with artist Rob Liefeld, Nicieza transformed New Mutants into the blockbuster X-Force. The writer also tackled solo heroes ranging from Cable and Deadpool (later combined in Cable & Deadpool) to Gambit and Nomad. He edited Marvel's Star imprint, contributed to multititle X-events like "X-Cutioner's Song" and "Phalanx Covenant," and wrote various "pre-modern" limited series such as Adventures of Captain America and Citizen V and the V-Battalion. Elsewhere, he has written both JLA and Justice League Adventures, The 99, Turok, X-Files, and others.

Superstar penciler Greg Capullo wowed readers with his work on X-Force before a lengthy association with Todd McFarlane's Spawn for Image Comics and a critically acclaimed run with writer Scott Snyder on DC Comics' Batman.

After making his debut on Marvel's X-Force, artist Mat Broome moved to Image. He penciled a lengthy run on Stormwatch, the Defcon 4 miniseries and several issues of WildC.A.Ts, including the finale of writer Alan Moore's memorable run. After contributing to Acclaim's Shadowman revival, Broome penciled short arcs on Gambit and Batman, and then co-wrote and illustrated Image's Skinners and Saffire -- the latter through his own studio imprint, Digital Broome. Broome penciled Chaos' Mummy: Valley of the Gods and the Dabel Brothers' Wood Boy one-shots, followed by Dark Horse's End League and Marvel's Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel miniseries.

Prolific creator Tony Daniel penciled a memorable X-Force run. At Image, he illustrated Alan Moore's Spawn: Blood Feud miniseries and the entire run of The Tenth. Daniel wrote and drew Image's F5 and Dark Horse's Silke miniseries, establishing himself as a double threat. After a short stint at Top Cow penciling Tomb Raider, and writing and drawing HumanKind, Daniel moved to DC. He illustrated Geoff Johns' Teen Titans and Bart Allen's death in Flash, and teamed with Grant Morrison on Batman. Daniel wrote and drew the Batman: Battle for the Cowl miniseries, and then became the regular Batman writer and artist. He went on to write Savage Hawkman, and write and draw Detective Comics, for DC's New 52.
