About the Author

Roger Stern is a veteran comic-book writer and former editor best known best known for his role in one of comics' most legendary stories: the 1992 "Death of Superman" saga. His Marvel works include well-regarded runs on Doctor Strange, the Incredible Hulk, and the Amazing Spider-Man; in the latter title, he introduced the hell-raising Hobgoblin, the secret of whose identity spanned decades. In addition to a long tenure as Avengers writer, Stern helped launch West Coast Avengers; he has also written or co-written such related projects as Avengers #1 ½, Avengers Forever, Avengers Infinity, Avengers Two: Wonder Man and Beast and X-Men vs. Avengers.

John Byrne has worked continuously in the comic-book industry as both writer and artist since his debut in 1975. After initially collaborating with writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, he moved on to X-Men for a run that is still regarded as one of the title's finest. Byrne followed his X-successes with an equally famed stint on Fantastic Four, earning comparisons to the original Lee/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork; he also spun Alpha Flight into its own title, beginning a sibling franchise to the X-Men. In 1986, he was selected to revamp DC's flagship hero, Superman, re-imagining the Man of Steel in a historic project. In the 21st century, Byrne continues to work his magic on stories for IDW.
