First-Timers

Comic veteran Reginald Hudlin (whose Black Panther work will be familiar to Marvel fans) serves as co-writer on Icon and Rocket: Season One with newcomer Leon Chills (Chills first work in comics). Artist Doug Braithwaite will be bringing his decades of experience as Icon and Rocket’s penciller. 

Writer Brandon Thomas joins the art team of Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz on Hardware. Thomas is best known for his creator-owned works – Horizon, Noble, and Excellence.

Static: Season One will see several Milestone newcomers. Writer Vita Ayala has already made their mark working for both DC and Marvel Comics. Artist ChrisCross is joined by Nikolas Draper-Ivey, who’s first work for DC Comics was in Milestone Returns #0.
