Talented French artist Olivier Coipel is one of Marvel's top stars, having caught the eyes of Avengers fans with his work in a series of startlingly fresh and exciting stories in 2004. In 2011, Wood kicked off the second major phase of his career with the original series The Massive and Anthem, Conan for Dark Horse Comics, and Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha & Omega for Marvel. He is best known for original series such as DMZ, Northlanders, Demo and Local. Guggenheim is a smart writer, so in the meantime we’ll look forward to picking this title back up again in August.Multiple Eisner Award-nominee Brian Wood released his first series, Channel Zero, to considerable critical acclaim in 1997. But are the X-Men equipped to handle the horrific new threat that’s emerged from the edge of space?.But when the ferocious Shi’Ar warrior Deathbird lands on their doorstep at the brink of death, S.W.O.R.D.is Earth’s premiere counterterrorism and intelligence agency when it comes to dealing with extraterrestrial threats.
