Jeph Loeb is an American film and television writer, producer and award-winning comic book writer. Loeb was a producer/writer on the TV series Smallville and Lost, writer for the films Commando and Teen Wolf and was a writer and Co-Executive Producer on the NBC TV show Heroes from its premiere in 2006 to November 2008.
A four-time Eisner Award winner, Loeb's comic book work, which has appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List, includes work on many major characters, including Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Hulk, Captain America, Cable, Iron Man, Daredevil, Supergirl, the Avengers, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, much of which he has produced in collaboration with artist Tim Sale.
Arthur Adams is an American comic book artist and writer. He first broke into the American comic book industry with the 1985 Marvel Comics miniseries Longshot. His subsequent interior comics work includes a number Marvel's major books, including The Uncanny X-Men, Excalibur, X-Factor, Fantastic Four, Hulk and Ultimate X, as well books by various other publishers. Adams has also illustrated books featuring characters for which he has a personal love, such as Godzilla, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Gumby, the latter of which garnered him a 1988 Eisner Award for Best Single Issue.
In Marvel’s Ultimatum event, Magneto hit New York with a tidal wave, killing millions of people. Not only does this devastate the mutant population, but it also brings the U.S. government down on mutants like never before. Hiding throughout the country are a number of scared, uncertain mutants like Wolverine’s son, James; the former X-Man Jean Grey; and the superstrong Hulk. Plucked from various states of happiness or disaster, they come together to form a new team and a new hope for their kind. Superhero veteran Loeb wisely steps back from spectacle and humanizes the proceedings considerably by focusing on single characters through the eyes of their adult guardians. Adams’ visuals are lavished with gorgeously detailed figures and backgrounds, but show off an awful lot of skin, which, considering the high-school age of many characters, can come off with a high ick factor. While a scene with a gun-toting teen in a school classroom may press some unfortunate buttons, as superhero stories go, this is an enjoyably humble and personal tale. Grades 10-12. --Jesse Karp
