Avengers by Jed MacKay Vol. 5: Masters of Evil

Canadian writer Jed MacKay has built an extensive list of credits at Marvel -- including such titles as Edge of Spider-Geddon, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther, Daughters of the Dragon and Man Without Fear. His career caught fire in 2019 with Black Cat, a character-defining phenomenon. MacKay has built on that success with his highly entertaining take on Taskmaster; a high-profile relaunch of Moon Knight; and Death of Doctor Strange, which led Clea to become the new Sorcerer Supreme in Strange. With his profile continuing to rise, MacKay took on two of Marvel's biggest titles, Avengers and X-Men, while helming his first big crossover event in Blood Hunt.

Italian artist Valerio Schiti's first work for Marvel Comics was "Sacrifice," a short story appearing in 2011's Ghost Rider #1. He has since illustrated Journey into Mystery, featuring the Asgardian warrior goddess Sif, with writer Kathryn Immonen and New Avengers with Jonathan Hickman. Schiti subsequently went cosmic with Brian Michael Bendis on Guardians of the Galaxy, upgraded the Armored Avenger with Dan Slott in Tony Stark: Iron Man, drew the blockbuster event Empyre and joined Al Ewing to send Marvel's mutants into space in S.W.O.R.D.

Artist Andrea Broccardo quickly found his feet at Marvel on projects including Kanan and the "Amazing Grace" storyline of Amazing Spider-Man. His work hit the big leagues in the high-profile event tie-in book Civil War II: X-Men, and he has illustrated multiple Star Wars projects, including Star Wars: Doctor Aphra. He has also worked on Marvel's foray into another iconic sci-fi galaxy in the pages of Alien.
