Dan Slott has built a loyal fan base by combining old-school fun with stories and characterizations friendly to new readers. Following his run on She-Hulk, Slott moved into the upper echelon of Marvel writers, launching Avengers: The Initiative and taking the reins on Mighty Avengers from Brian Michael Bendis. When Marvel gave Spider-Man a fresh start in 2008, Slott was one of several rotating writers on the thrice-monthly Amazing Spider-Man. Slott became the writer most closely identified with the web-slinger’s “Brand New Day” era, and the title hit the “Big Time” when he took over as full-time writer for a decade-long run. Slott has also turned his talents to other iconic Marvel heroes — including soaring the spaceways with Silver Surfer; helming Tony Stark: Iron Man toward Iron Man 2020; and masterminding the glorious return of Fantastic Four, leading to his long-awaited “Reckoning War.” In 2022, Slott made his way back to the Spider-Verse, teaming with legendary penciler Mark Bagley on Spider-Man.

Karla Pacheco is a general vagabond and former radio deejay turned comedy writer and comics creator. She's written for Dynamite Entertainment, Oni (Rick & Morty) and Marvel (Gwenpool, Fearless, Punisher Annual, Fantastic Four 2099, Spider-Woman). Pacheco lives in the Pacific Northwest on a boat named "The Slippery Pig" with her dog Edison, and won the Exxon Valdez from the movie Waterworld by fighting in the Thunderdome. Yes, really.

Spanish artist Pere Pérez has worked for Moonstone Books (Twilight Crusade: Templar), Devil’s Due (Dragonlance Chronicles), Dynamite Entertainment (Savage Tales), Valiant Entertainment (Archer & Armstrong, Faith) and DC Comics (Action Comics, Batgirl). For Marvel, Pérez has illustrated Deadpool vs. Punisher, Rogue & Gambit and War of the Realms: X-Men. He joined writer Karla Pacheco on a lengthy, well-received Spider-Woman run.
