Jonathan Hickman (born September 3, 1972, South Carolina) is an American comic book writer and artist.

He is known for creating the Image Comics series The Nightly News, The Manhattan Projects and East of West, as well as working on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, FF and S.H.I.E.L.D. titles.

In 2012, Hickman ended his run on the Fantastic Four titles to write Avengers and New Avengers, as part the "Marvel NOW!" relaunch.

In 2013, Hickman wrote a six-part miniseries, Infinity, plus Avengers tie-ins for Marvel Comics. As of 2015, he is writing the crossover event Secret Wars.

Gerry Duggan received the education he needed to write from a steady diet of comic books and Late Night With David Letterman. He didn't know that. . . so he wasted a ton of money on a pricey diploma from Emerson College in Boston.

After graduating, he arrived in Los Angeles and hooked up almost immediately with Brian Posehn. Together, they've written Marvel NOW!'s Deadpool, The Simpsons and The Last Christmas, the true story of Santa Claus after the apocalypse.

Both he and artist Phil Noto earned Eisner Award nominations for The Infinite Horizon, a re-imagininging of The Odyssey in a dystopian future.

Benjamin Percy is the award-winning author of the new novel The Dead Lands, as well as Red Moon, The Wilding and the short-story collections Refresh, Refresh and The Language of Elk.

A native of the high desert of Central Oregon, Percy also writes nonfiction that has appeared in Esquire, GQ, Time and more. He is the winner of the Pushcart Prize, a Whiting Award and the Plimpton Prize for fiction.

Percy currently writes Green Arrow and Teen Titans for DC Comics.

A writer for the Emmy Award-winning animated series Robot Chicken, Zeb Wells began making a name for himself at Marvel with his irreverent New Warriors limited series, which provided an inspiration for key story threads that would later appear in Civil War; he also wrote the Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways tie-in.

His collaboration with the late Seth Fisher on Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan produced one of the last decade's most charming comics. Wells' other credits include Daredevil: Battlin' Jack Murdock, Venom: Dark Origin, Dark Reign: Elektra and Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One. He also contributed to the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man and helped relaunch New Mutants.
