Saladin Ahmed is an acclaimed novelist and poet who is fast gaining a reputation as one of the comics industry’s brightest talents. His 2012 book Throne of the Crescent Moon, the first volume in a trilogy, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel and won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. The critical praise continued for his Marvel Comics debut on Black Bolt with artist Christian Ward, which won the 2018 Eisner Award for Best New Series. Ahmed followed that project with Exiles, then went on to chart the adventures of two of Marvel’s brightest young heroes in Miles Morales: Spider-Man and Magnificent Ms. Marvel. Artist and writer Aaron Kuder cut his teeth in the comics industry working on the New York Times best-selling book The Amory Wars and Key of Z, both with Claudio Sanchez from Evil Ink Comics. Since 2012, his work has graced the pages of Green Lantern: New Guardians, Legion Lost and Action Comics for DC, as well as Avenging Spider-Man and Marvel Universe vs. the Avengers. Kuder joined Gerry Duggan on both All-New Guardians of the Galaxy and Infinity Countdown, and Ed Brisson on Ghost Rider.
