He is the author of Strange Attractors, 27, Strongman and Letter 44, as well as runs on Swamp Thing, Red Lanterns and Superman/Wonder Woman for DC Comics. Also a musician and an attorney, Soule somehow finds time to be one of the busiest writers in comics- Among his Marvel credits are Thunderbolts, She-Hulk and Inhuman - as well as the landmark Death of Wolverine, its immediate follow-up (Wolverines) and its eventual sequel (Return of Wolverine). Soule charted the adventures of a much-loved Star Wars characters in Lando and Poe Dameron.

The late artist Steve Dillon had his first paying work at age 16 for the UK-based Hulk Weekly magazine. Like many of his British contemporaries, Dillon honed his skills on the legendary 2000AD. In 1993, Dillon joined writer Garth Ennis on DC/Vertigo's Hellblazer. Their work earned overwhelming praise from the title's devoted fan base and led to a second collaboration on Preacher, which earned an "A" grade from Entertainment Weekly and was later turned into a TV series on AMC. After Preacher's 66-issue run, Dillon again teamed with Ennis on a revival of Marvel's classic antihero, Punisher. Dillon later illustrated Daniel Way's Wolverine- Origins, Ennis' Punisher- War Zone, Mark Millar's Ultimate Avengers and Jason Aaron's Punisher MAX. Dillon again drew Frank Castle for Marvel NOW! in the relaunched Thunderbolts and later in All-New, All-Different Marvel's The Punisher.
