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.

Artist Yidiray Çinar created the fanzine publishing group Capa Comics in 1997 in his hometown of Istanbul, Turkey, which helped him make connections across the globe.

He then began work at Image Comics, drawing a short story for Savage Dragon and becoming the regular penciler on Noble Causes. At DC, he worked on Teen Titans, Fury of Firestorm and Legion of Super-Heroes. For Marvel, he is the artist on Superior Iron Man.
