About the Author
Brian Posehn was born a long time ago and fell in love with comic books at a very young age. He decided to wait to write them until he was in his forties. Before embarking on a career in comic-book writing, he floated through a series of odd jobs — including standup comedy, TV writing and film and sitcom acting. Since arriving at Marvel, he feels he’s found his true calling, but will continue to do “the other crap for fun.” Posehn’s collaborations with Gerry Duggan include "The Last Christmas," a Jaws parody for The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror comics, some screenplays and TV ideas you’ll never see, and a baby they’re raising together in the basement of a local abandoned sanitarium.
Gerry Duggan has become one of Marvel’s most influential writers, having first made an impression at the House of Ideas with a lengthy and always surprising Deadpool run alongside his frequent writing partner, Brian Posehn. Among Duggan’s solo credits are Nova, Hulk and multiple tie-ins to the Secret Wars event. He added Deadpool to the revamped roster of Uncanny Avengers and brought his unique blend of action and humor to All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, leading up to the cosmic event series Infinity Wars. Marauders and Cable established him as a vital part of the storytelling team for the Dawn of X era, a role he has cemented further by launching the blockbuster new X-Men title. Duggan’s earlier collaboration with artist Phil Noto — The Infinite Horizon, a reimagining of Homer’s The Odyssey in a dystopian future — earned an Eisner Award nomination for Best New Series.
Artist Tony Moore is a small-town guy from Kentucky, raised by a pack of wild televisions. The cocreator with Robert Kirkman of pop-culture phenomenon The Walking Dead, he also lent his hand to books such as Battle Pope, Masters of the Universe and Brit. Moore collaborated with Rick Remender on Fear Agent and Simon Oliver on The Exterminators. At Marvel, Moore reunited with Remender for the cult hit Franken-Castle and the relaunched Venom. His hobbies include watching horror movies, getting fat and sleeping.
Throughout the 1990s, Scott Koblish inked his way across the Marvel Multiverse with runs on Captain America, Elektra, G.I. Joe, Marc Spector: Moon Knight, Marvel Comics Presents, Punisher War Journal, and multiple titles in the X-Men and 2099 subgenres. He inked his own pencils on Uncanny X-Men: First Class and Wolverine: First Class before providing art for Marvel Adventures the Avengers, Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four, Marvel Adventures Iron Man and more. He also inked several limited series set in the MC2 universe. Koblish has since firmly established himself as one of the greatest Deadpool artists of all time.
Artist, designer and cartoonist Mike Hawthorne has worked for Marvel Comics, DC/Vertigo, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, Image, Oni Press, Fox Films, Universal Studios and other clients during his career, earning nominations for Eisner and Harvey awards along the way. Hawthorne’s artwork was a regular feature during Gerry Duggan’s Deadpool run.
