MIKE DEODATO JR. BIO:

Fan-Favorite Brazilian artist Mike Deodato Jr.'s style ranges from high energy drawings to a noir photorealism. Deodato’s lifelong love for comics comes from his late father, a comics artist himself, who guided his son’s artistic growth. In the ‘90s, Deodato took the US market by assault switching his original realist style to a more dynamic one, influenced by early Image Comics, and made his name with a popular run on DC Comics’ Wonder Woman. Soon, Deodato became one of the most prolific and in-demand artists of that decade, with credits that include Marvel’s Avengers, Elektra, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, and Thor. Eventually, he reinvented his art once again, creating a darker, more detailed style, experimenting it in a Nightcrawler story showcased in X-Men Unlimited. Deodato then managed to draw one of his favorite series to date: The Incredible Hulk, written by Bruce Jones. After many years as a Marvel-exclusive artist, Deodato decided it was time to a shift in his career and to dedicate himself to creator-owned projects. He signed an exclusive contract with AWA, teaming up with J. Michael Straczynski to launch THE RESISTANCE, and has worked on THE FOURTH MAN, ABSOLUTION, and RED ZONE as well.
