Rick Remender

For many fans, Rick Remender's Marvel Comics contributions to The Punisher and Uncanny X-Force comic books have firmly cemented his place in the comic book creator hall of fame. But before those, the Portland native was very much an artist.

Rick had worked as an animator on blockbuster films like The Iron Giant, Anastasia, Titan A.E., Rocky and Bullwinkle. That experienced helped him serve as a writer for a couple of critically praised video games, Dead Space and Bulletstorm, both from EA later on.

After entering the comic book industry, Rick dabbled into comic book art, having contributed the pencils for the Bruce Campbell starring vehicle, The Man with the Screaming Brain, and other works like The Last Christmas, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There was even a time where he provided the inked art for bigger titles like The Avengers. As a writer, he had his hands in a lot of things, from Image Comics titles to Dark Horse comic books like The End League and Fear Agent.

Now, Rick works exclusively for Marvel Comics on fan-favorite books like Venom, Uncanny X-Force, Secret Avengers, and The Punisher.
