Thunderbolts: The Saga of The Winter Soldier

Ed Brubaker

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. 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. 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. 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.

Rick Remender

Beginning his career in animation working on such films as The Iron Giant, Anastasia, and Titan A.E., Rick Remender has become a comic-book triple threat - writing, penciling, and inking numerous fan-favorite series. Remender served as writer on hit video games Dead Space and Bulletstorm, while providing art for punk/metal bands like NOFX and 3 Inches of Blood. He’s co-created many popular independent titles, including the critically acclaimed Fear Agent with longtime collaborators Tony Moore and Jerome Opena. His time at Marvel started on Punisher, and has since led to well-received runs on Uncanny X-Force, Venom, Captain America, and Uncanny Avengers. Remender made headlines by promoting Sam Wilson, the Falcon, to full-fledged shield-slinger in All-New Captain America.

Kyle Higgins

Writers and filmmakers from Chicago, Kyle Higgins co-wrote and produced the 2008 short film The League, about a super-hero labor union during the 1960s. For Marvel, he co-wrote the Captain America Theater of War one-shot Prisoners of Duty.

Steve Epting

With a career stretching back to First Comics, Steve Epting made his name at Marvel with an eminent fifty-issue run on Avengers during the mid-‘90s. He also contributed to Factor X, part of the “Age of Apocalypse” event. After working with writers Mark Waid and Chuck Dixon on various CrossGen titles, Epting returned to Marvel to embark on his first collaboration with writer Ed Brubaker on what turned out to be one of the all-time great Captain America runs. The pair also united for the Golden Age-era miniseries The Marvels Project. Epting’s work with writer Jonathan Hickman includes the much-publicized death of the Human Torch in an epic run of Fantastic Four.

Michael Lark

Michael Lark has teamed with writer Ed Brubaker on DC’s Gotham Central and the noir Scene of the Crime, as well as adding a timeworn elegance to the World War II flashbacks in Captain America. But his work with Brubaker on Daredevil set new highs - not only for their collaborative efforts, but for the narrative tapestry of Marvel’s Man Without Fear.

Roland Boschi

Roland Boschi - pronounced “BOH-skee” - first collaborated with Jason Aaron in the pages of Ghost Rider and Ghost Rider: Heaven’s On Fire. He teamed with writer Rick Remender on Punisher and follow-up series Punisher: In the Blood, and drew Marvel’s most popular mutant in three very different series: Wolverine & the X-Men: Alpha and Omega, Fear Itself: Wolverine, and Wolverine MAX. His credits also include X-Men and Untold Tales of PunisherMAX. As part of All-New Marvel NOW!, Boschi reunited with Remender on a limited series featuring Marvel’s latest cinematic star, Winter Soldier.
