Since   the late ’80s, his work for Marvel, DC and Image — the company he helped found — has set trends that survive to this day. After honing his   skills with memorable runs on Alpha Flight and Punisher War Journal, Lee rose to prominence on Uncanny   X-Men. Lee then revamped the mutant team’s look   and helped launch the second X-Men series, whose first issue remains one of the best-selling   comic books of all time. In 1992, he and other artists formed Image Comics.   Lee’s group of titles, published under the Wildstorm Productions imprint,   included the mega-popular WildC.A.T.s, Stormwatch and Gen13.   Under Wildstorm’s sub-imprint Homage Comics, he published Kurt Busiek’s Astro City and Strangers in Paradise, both of which   became major fan favorites. Lee returned to Marvel in 1996, relaunching Fantastic Four as part of the   “Heroes Reborn” event. Subsequently selling Wildstorm to DC Comics, Lee went   on to pencil Batman, Superman and WildC.A.T.s. Later, as DC Comics’   co-publisher, he helped revamp and reconceptualize the company’s entire   lineup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScott   Lobdell\u003c\/b\u003e wrote both Uncanny   X-Men and X-Men during the 1990s. He also launched Generation   X and Adventures of   Cyclops and Phoenix, and penned Alpha Flight and Fantastic Four. Elsewhere, he wrote   Dark Horse’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Fabian Nicieza, Wildstorm’s Gen13, Top Cow’s Darkness, and IDW’s Ghostbusters: Displaced   Aggression and Galaxy   Quest. Lobdell scripted Stan Lee’s animated film Mosaic and has performed as a   stand-up comedian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince   his start on the New Universe’s Psi-Force and backup stories in Classic X-Men, \u003cb\u003eFabian Nicieza \u003c\/b\u003ehas 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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA   founding member of the star-studded Image team, \u003cb\u003eWhilce   Portacio\u003c\/b\u003e became a star thanks to his work on   late-’80s Marvel titles like Punisher, Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor. After time at Image during the early ’90s, he returned to   Marvel with writer Jeph Loeb on Iron Man. A long illness kept him from the drawing boards until his   return on Wildstorm’s Wetworks. His subsequent credits include Batman   Confidential, and his first Marvel work in nearly   a decade on Uncanny X-Men and Loeb’s Hulk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn   Romita Jr.\u003c\/b\u003e is a modern-day comic-art master, following in   his legendary father’s footsteps. Timeless runs on Iron   Man, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil established him as his own man artistically, and his work on Wolverine and World War Hulk is among the most   explosive comic art of the 21st century. In addition to Eternals with writer Neil Gaiman,   JRJR teamed with Mark Millar on the creator-owned Kick-Ass, later developed into a blockbuster feature film starring   Nicolas Cage. Spidey fans rejoiced at the artist’s return to Amazing Spider-Man with the “Brand   New Day” storylines “New Ways To Die” and “Character Assassination.” He later   helped relaunch Avengers with   writer Brian Michael Bendis and Captain America with Rick Remender, and contributed to the blockbuster   crossover Avengers vs. X-Men. For DC Comics, he drew big-name characters such as Superman,   Batman and the Suicide Squad before making a welcome return home to Marvel   and Amazing Spider-Man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter   an artistic apprenticeship under famed father Joe Kubert, \u003cb\u003eAndy   Kubert\u003c\/b\u003e got his start on DC’s space-opera   variations Adam Strange   and Warlord, as well as   the best-selling crossover Batman vs. Predator in collaboration with brother Adam. Kubert’s Marvel career   began with a six-year stint on X-Men — continuing into Thor, Ka-Zar,   Ghost Rider and others.   He collaborated with Orson Scott Card on Ultimate   Iron Man, Neil Gaiman on Marvel   1602 and Paul Jenkins on Wolverine:   Origin.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233869836517,"sku":"NP9781302967635","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302967635.jpg?v=1767744640","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/xmen-epic-collection-bishops-crossing-new-printing-isbn-9781302967635","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
