Author Biography
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Charles Soule has written novels, comics, screenplays and stories of all types. Also a musician and an attorney, Soule somehow finds time to be one of the busiest writers in comics. Among his Marvel credits are Thunderbolts, She-Hulk and the landmark Death of Wolverine, as well as its immediate follow-up (Wolverines) and its eventual sequel (Return of Wolverine). Soule brought his legal expertise to the pages of Daredevil and assembled a blockbuster squad in Astonishing X-Men. Following solo series starring Darth Vader, Lando Calrissian and Poe Dameron, Soule turned his attention to the iconic rebel crew in a new volume of the flagship Star Wars title, and he was one of the select group of authors chosen to chart the unseen era of the High Republic.
New York Times best-selling author Cavan Scott is one of the five initial story architects chosen to helm Lucasfilm's multimedia exploration of the High Republic era of Star Wars, writing numerous novels and Marvel's ongoing comic-book series as part of the initiative. The British writer's comics career has included some of his homeland's institutions, 2000 AD and Doctor Who; his extensive resumé also includes novels, TV series and audio dramas. Penciler, art director and sculptor Ario Anindito has illustrated the Atlantis Attacks and Sword Master series for Marvel. His work also includes Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Weapon H, Hulkverine and Venom. In addition to his work on two volumes of Star Wars: The High Republic, Anindito collaborated with Charles Soule on Wolverines and Uncanny Inhumans.
