Author Biography

Steve Orlando made a name for himself at DC Comics, writing Wonder Woman, various Batman titles and Martian Manhunter. His Midnighter series and its sequel Midnighter and Apollo were nominated for a GLAAD Media Award. Orlando arrived at Marvel to celebrate a legendary character's 50th anniversary across three Curse of the Man-Thing one-shots. Orlando contributed to Marvel's Voices: Pride and returned to the intersection of super-heroics and horror with the Darkhold storyline.

Cory Smith is forging a reputation as a Marvel mainstay on high-profile books such as Avengers, Conan the Barbarian and Guardians of the Galaxy. After stints on titles Weapon H and Nova, as well as one-shots featuring the heroes of the Star Wars "Age of Republic," Smith joined writer Benjamin Percy on a deliciously dark relaunch of Ghost Rider.
