John Nadeau is known for drawing multiple series in Dark Horse Comics' Aliens line, as well as his contributions to the publisher's Star Wars output -- not least as the most frequent artist on Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron.

A professional comic-book artist since 2003, Dustin Weaver's work on Dark Horse's Star Wars and King Kong led him to Marvel, where he's drawn X-Universe storylines in X-Men: Kingbreaker, X-Men: Legacy and the X-Necrosha one-shot. Weaver has collaborated with writer Jonathan Hickman on two S.H.I.E.L.D. series, as well as Avengers.
