About the Author

Geoffrey Thorne first made a name for himself as a writer in 2003 by winning Second Prize in Simon & Schuster's annual collection of Star Trek short stories, Strange New Worlds. An actor-turned-writer, Thorne has been consistently penning new work for audio, television and comics; including, but certainly not limited to: screenwriting for TNT's The Librarians, Marvel Animation's Ultimate Spider-Man, writing the comic adaptation of Knight Rider for Lion Forge Comics as well as working on creator-owned projects such as Prodigal (Thrillbent, 2013).

Since his start on the New Universe's Psi-Force and backup stories in Classic X-Men, Fabian Nicieza has written most of Marvel's major super-teams -- including Alpha Flight, the Avengers, the New Warriors, the Thunderbolts and the X-Men. Together with artist Rob Liefeld, Nicieza transformed New Mutants into the blockbuster X-Force. The writer also tackled solo heroes ranging from Cable and Deadpool (later combined in Cable & Deadpool) to Gambit and Nomad. He edited Marvel's Star imprint, contributed to multititle X-events like "X-Cutioner's Song" and "Phalanx Covenant," and wrote various "pre-modern" limited series such as Adventures of Captain America and Citizen V and the V-Battalion. Elsewhere, he has written both JLA and Justice League Adventures, The 99, Turok, X-Files, and others.

Born in Alberta, Marcus To has been drawing since childhood but never dreamed he would be able to do it professionally. In 2009, he made the move to Toronto; that same year, he started working for DC. In 2010, he joined the Royal Academy of Illustration and Design studio in downtown Toronto. To's Marvel credits include Black Panther, New Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men: Blue and New Warriors, but Excalibur is his longest and most acclaimed run.
