Jonathan Hickman's THE NIGHTLY NEWS was accepted as a blind submission in 2006 and he hasn't looked back since, having masterminded several superhero comics and co-creating books like EAST OF WEST, THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, and THE DYING & THE DEAD. Known for his intricate plots and explosive payoffs, Hickman also masterminds the Marvel Comics Universe.

Dragotta and Hickman made name for their creative team previously on Fantastic Four at Marvel Comics, where Dragotta also worked on the landmark run of X-Statix with Peter Milligan and many other of the top Marvel characters such as Captain America, Spider-Man, the X-Men and others.
