Claremont’s focus on the themes of   prejudice and tolerance struck at the hearts of comics fans, and he built an   unparalleled following during the next three decades. Under his pen, the   X-Men franchise spawned a vast array of spin-offs, many of them written by   Claremont himself. His other credits include Iron   Fist, Ms. Marvel, Power Man   and Spider-Woman.   Claremont has returned to the X-Men universe in New   Exiles, GeNext, X-Men Forever, Chaos War: X-Men and Nightcrawler.Ed   Brubaker is one of the most acclaimed writers in comics,   a multiple Eisner Award winner. Following fan-favorite runs on Scene of the Crime, Sleeper, Catwoman and Gotham Central for DC, he moved to Marvel. His Captain   America relaunch, in which he controversially   revived Bucky Barnes as the Winter Soldier, won over fans new and old, and   his revisionist take on the history of Marvel’s mutants in X-Men: Deadly Genesis resulted in a   regular gig on Uncanny X-Men, Marvel’s flagship X-title. He and longtime artistic   collaborator Michael Lark took up the baton on Daredevil   after Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev’s   legendary run concluded, and Brubaker jump-started Immortal   Iron Fist with co-writer Matt Fraction and artist   David Aja. Marvel’s Icon imprint published Brubaker’s creator-owned Criminal and Incognito, and he has gone on to   further success at Image Comics with such titles as Fatale, Velvet and   The Fade Out. Beyond   comics, Brubaker has written for TV’s Westworld and co-created the crime drama Too   Old to Die Young.Writer\/producer\/director   Joss Whedon is a veteran of   film, television and comics renowned for his witty dialogue, genre-blending   sensibilities and strong female characters. An Emmy-nominated,   third-generation talent whose father and grandfather both wrote for   television, Whedon got his start as a writer on the Roseanne sitcom in 1989 and soon moved into film where his writing   credits included Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alien:   Resurrection and the Oscar-nominated Toy Story. Whedon moved back to   television, where he converted 1992’s lackluster Buffy   film into the critically acclaimed Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series   (1997-2003) and its vampire-hero spin-off series, Angel   (1999-2004). Whedon’s sci-fi Western series Firefly (2002) was short-lived, but   its popularity on DVD led to Whedon writing and directing a Universal feature   film based on its characters, Serenity (2005). Whedon returned to television in 2009 with Dollhouse and explores terror in the   2010 feature film Cabin in the Woods. A lifelong comics fan, he entered the business with the 2001   Dark Horse mini-series Fray, featuring the Slayer of a dystopian future. He later co-wrote a Serenity mini-series for Dark Horse   (with sequels to follow), helped plot IDW Publishing’s Angel: After the Fall series picking   up where the Angel TV show left off, and serves as co-writer and “executive   producer” of Dark Horse’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer   Season Eight series, a canonical continuation of   the TV heroine’s adventures. At Marvel, Whedon is best known for teaming with   John Cassaday on a popular Astonishing X-Men run (2004-2008) and taking over Runaways after series creator Brian K. Vaughan left the book. Whedon’s   other Marvel credits include Giant-Size X-Men #3 (2005) and Stan Lee Meets   Spider-Man #1 (2006).As a   boy, artist Dave Cockrum (1943-2006) dreamed of working in the comic-book industry; after a six-year   stint in the Navy, he headed straight for the big time. With a natural talent   for illustrating super heroes, Cockrum landed a gig on Legion of Super-Heroes for DC   Comics. Soon after his debut, Cockrum showcased his knack for innovative   costume designs, becoming the first artist to revamp the look of the classic   futuristic super-hero team since its original Silver Age debut. After leaving   Legion in 1975, Cockrum   collaborated with writer Len Wein to create a new lineup of X-Men – including   Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Colossus. Cockrum’s bold new mutants quickly   caught the attention of comic-book fans, transforming X-Men into a best-selling title.   Although Cockrum has reduced his artistic output in recent years, his strong   influence on modern creators remains steadfast – as evidenced by the release   of The Uncanny Cockrum Tribute Book in 2004, boasting contributions from more than 75 notable   writers and artists. John   Byrne has worked continuously in the comics industry as   both writer and artist since 1975. After he initially collaborated with   writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still regarded as one of the title’s finest. Byrne   contributed an equally famed stint on Fantastic   Four, earning comparisons to the original   Lee\/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also   spun Alpha Flight into   its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC’s flagship hero, Superman, reimagining   the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time magazine cover. His remarkable   contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to memorable associations with   virtually every major hero, including celebrated runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational   She-Hulk, Namor the   Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne’s considerable body of work   includes IDW’s Star Trek   and Angel.A   former animator for cult cartoonist Ralph Bakshi, Paul   Smith penciled Uncanny   X-Men during a brief but pivotal run that included   Rogue joining the team, Storm’s controversial makeover, Wolverine’s   near-marriage and Cyclops’ wedding to future villain Madelyne Pryor. He then   moved to Doctor Strange,   Marvel Fanfare and   others, later drawing the acclaimed X-Men\/Alpha   Flight miniseries. With James Robinson, he created   DC’s groundbreaking Golden Age miniseries, highlighting the publisher’s wartime heroes like   few before or since. His work for other companies includes First’s Grimjack and Image’s Leave It to Chance; he returned to   Marvel to pencil the miniseries Kitty Pryde:   Shadow and Flame, revisiting some themes from his Uncanny work.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44202591125695,"sku":"9781302964276","price":239.06,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/223390bd-b315-4ed6-95cb-ebe55530b4f9.jpg?v=1745311810","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/cosmic-x-men-omnibus-john-cassaday-cover-hardcover","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
