Greg Horn is a comic book cover artist best known for his work with Marvel and DC Comics. He arrived at Marvel in 2000, after showing his illustrations to then-editor-in-chief Joe Quesada and writer Brian Michael Bendis. His sensational new form of computer painting ushered in the digital art movement, which dominates the comic book industry to this day. After his acclaimed run of cover art on Elektra and Emma Frost, Greg was recognized for his artistic endeavors, winning Wizard’s Fan’s Choice Award for Best Cover Artist in 2003. In the years that followed, he forged ahead with Marvel’s She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel while spreading his art wings in a variety of commercial industries, working on more than 20 international advertising campaigns, including the official 2004 United States olympic basketball team poster with Allstate Insurance. During this time, he also provided cover illustrations for numerous video game magazines like Xbox, PCgamer, and Playstation Magazine. His volume of work was eventually collected into two art books titled The Art of Greg Horn and published by Image Comics. Beginning in 2014, Greg saw remarkable success with the emergence of exclusive store variant covers, providing images for many popular convention exclusives and retailer variants. Along the way, the artist revitalized the stagnant market of remarked comic books with an inventive way of sketching on the unforgiving surface of the covers. Most recently, Greg has started his own online store at www.greghornart.com where he offers his latest comic book variants, including his Celebrity Authentics exclusive signature collaborations with Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Anne Hathaway, Halle Berry, Mel Gibson, Gal Gadot, Nicolas Cage, Milla Jovovich, and Aaron Taylor Johnson. He hosts regular bi-weekly auctions on Whatnot and eBay Live and does his best to get out to as many conventions as possible.

In addition to comics, Tom has done artwork for notable television shows such as CBS’s Big Brother, TBS’s Wipeout, and Nickelodeon’s All That among others.
Jerome Opeña has been working in comics since 2005. He got his start with Metal Hurlant for Humanoids Publishing and has since worked on projects such as Fear Agent, Uncanny X-Force, The Avengers, and his creator-owned book, Seven to Eternity, with frequent collaborator Rick Remender.
Stephen Platt is a professional concept/comic artist living and working in Los Angeles. He has been working in the field of comics for over 30 years beginning with his smash debut Marc Spector Moon Knight 55.

Reservoir Dogs collides with Evil Dead in a filthy crime story that mutates into a savage splatter-horror nightmare from New York Times bestselling author Rick Remender and acclaimed artist Steve Epting, with colors by Matt Hollingsworth, in the upcoming Hammerfist. This all-new ongoing series is set to launch this August from Image Comics.
Hammerfist will launch with a lineup of jaw-dropping variant covers by such superstar artists as Jerome Opeña, Nic Klein, Dan Panosian, Daniel Acuña, Andrew Robinson, and more as well as a blank sketch cover and a special foil-treated version of Robinson’s cover art.
In Hammerfist, readers meet Mike Denton: a dirtbag hitman, junkie, and absentee father. He’s spent his life chasing the easy fix—drugs, cheap sex, and murder for money—all while failing the one person who still believes he can be better: his daughter.
Now, on the eve of Black Noon—an ancient darkness that erases the light in all things—Mike has to drag himself out of the gutter, awaken a supernatural weapon powered only by love, and fight his way through the living embodiment of evil to save her. This is the story of an unredeemable killer forced to do the one thing he’s avoided his entire life: stand for something other than himself.
Hammerfist #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, August 26.
