I am entranced.” —Matthew Mercer, Critical Role “Makes for a heady combination of fascinating worldbuilding, compellingly broken characters tearing each other apart (sometimes emotionally, sometimes literally), and vivid, striking artwork.” —io9/Gizmodo ""GILLEN subverts high fantasy adventure tropes with an infusion of creepy horror, resulting in an exploration of arrested adolescence and the effects of childhood trauma made truly haunting by Hans' realistic illustrations and Cowles' gloomy color palette."" ï¿9;Library Journal"

Kieron Gillen first came to attention as a comic writer with his 2006's Phonogram, with Jamie McKelvie. They continued to work together across the next fifteen year, culminating with smash hit The Wicked + the Divine. Since then he's had the pleasure of creating stories with other artists such as Stephanie Hans (DIE, We Called Them Giants) and Caspar Wijngaard (the current sensation, The Power Fantasy). He has worked on Marvel Comics biggest books, such as Immortal X-men, Young Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Star Wars, Eternals and Darth Vader, (where he co-created Doctor Aphra). In a previous life he was an award-winning pop-culture critic. In his current life, he tries to sleep more. He lives in Bath, UK. Stephanie Hans is a seasoned illustrator. She works mostly for the books mainstream market with clients as big as Marvel, DC Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse, Valiant, Dynamite, Vertigo, and Boom Studios.
