John Francis Moore wrote memorable stints on X-Force and X-Factor, also scripting the latter's "Age of Apocalypse" incarnation Factor X. He returned to the AoA for the Sinister Bloodlines one-shot and worked his way across additional timelines in Wolverine: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Phoenix and X-Men 2099, which he wrote from start to finish. Moore also launched Doom 2099 and wrote more than half that series. At DC, he co-created additional alternate realities in Chronos, Elseworld's Finest and Superman: The Dark Side, as well as writing one-shots Batman/Scarecrow 3-D, Batman/Poison Ivy and, in collaboration with Howard Chaykin, Batman/Houdini, which won a Don Thompson Award for Best Graphic Novel. Moore and Chaykin also collaborated on DC's Ironwolf: Fires of the Revolution and First Comics' American Flagg!.
Peter David is one of the industry's most prolific and versatile writers whose record-breaking stint on Incredible Hulk remains a fan-favorite to this day. His similarly long-running -- and critically acclaimed -- association with X-Factor began in the early 1990s and continued in 2005. His other Marvel work includes Captain Marvel, two lengthy stints on Spider-Man 2099, Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider and the smash-hit Symbiote Spider-Man limited series with artist Greg Land. David is also a novelist and screenwriter. Among his credits are some forty Star Trek tie-ins; original novels such as Sir Apropos of Nothing, Howling Mad and Knight Life; movies Trancers 4 and Trancers 5; and episodes of Babylon 5 and Crusade. He also co-created the TV show Space Cases with actor-writer Bill Mumy.
Springing from the fertile ground of the U.K. comics scene,
Warren Ellis came to Marvel during the early '90s and proved his iconoclastic mettle in the ultra-edgy series Hellstorm and the limited series Druid -- followed by fondly remembered extended runs on Excalibur and Doom 2099. After making a name for himself as a premier talent with Wildstorm's Stormwatch, Transmetropolitan, The Authority and Planetary, Ellis returned to Marvel to pen Ultimate Fantastic Four, the Ultimate Galactus Trilogy, Iron Man and more. His Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. was both a critical smash and a cult favorite. In addition to reviving the 1980s New Universe in newuniversal and writing Thunderbolts, Ellis took over Astonishing X-Men following Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's departure, and penned perhaps the definitive story of the Armored Avenger in Iron Man's "Extremis." In addition, he offered a distinctively memorable new take on Moon Knight. His Wildstorm miniseries Red was adapted into a hit movie in 2010. Ellis broke into prose fiction with Crooked Little Vein and his New York Times best-selling novel Gun Machine.
During the 1970s,
Pat Broderick depicted cosmic sagas on literally multiple levels as artist on Captain Marvel and Micronauts. At DC, he penciled Captain Atom, Firestorm and Green Lantern, among others; on Batman, he co-created Tim Drake, the third and current Robin. Returning to Marvel in stints on Alpha Flight and Doom 2099, he also worked for the short-lived Future Comics and revisited Micronauts in a newly licensed variant at Devil's Due Publishing.
