As an   adult, his writing career took him to Los Angeles, where he got his break   writing for the Tea Leoni sitcom The Naked Truth on NBC. His success on the   show led to work on a number of top-rated series — including Party of Five,   Sex and the City and Gilmore Girls. He wrote and produced The O.C., a   blockbuster dramatic series that showcased Heinberg’s interest in comic books   and his admiration for many contemporary comics creators through the show’s   main character. Heinberg’s love of the Marvel Universe as evidenced on The   O.C. attracted the attention of Marvel Comics’ then-Editor in Chief Joe   Quesada, who invited the TV writer to develop his first Marvel project, Young   Avengers. The series was an unexpected critical and commercial hit that was   nominated for Best New Series in both the Eisner and Harvey awards, in   addition to earning an Eisner nomination for Heinberg as Best Writer. Young   Avengers also won a GLAAD Media Award for its intelligent and thoughtful   handling of gay characters on an ongoing basis. Heinberg has also written a   relaunch of DC’s Wonder Woman and a JLA story arc with Geoff Johns, and   served as screenwriter for the 2017 Wonder Woman movie. On TV, he has served   as writer, executive producer, co-executive producer, consulting producer and   creative consultant on Grey’s Anatomy.Artist   Jim Cheung began his association with Marvel Comics in the 1990s, drawing   titles such as Black Knight, Force Works, Iron Man, Maverick and an extensive   run on X-Force. He also did popular work on the CrossGen series Scion. In   2005, Cheung launched the critically acclaimed Young Avengers with writer   Allan Heinberg. He went on to illustrate New Avengers: Illuminati with writer   Brian Michael Bendis, and reunited with Heinberg and their signature Young   Avengers characters in Avengers: The Children’s Crusade. Cheung’s   modern-yet-classic style has made him highly sought-after for covers and   event series, including contributions to Infinity, Avengers \u0026amp; X-Men: Axis   and Civil War II.Artist   Olivier Coipel caught the eyes of Avengers fans with his work in a series of   startlingly fresh and exciting stories in 2004, then delivered a star turn on   the 2005 blockbuster limited series House of M. Proving his mettle with the   grand splendor and huge cast of a Marvel epic, he earned the plum assignment   of restoring the hallowed halls of Asgard to grandeur in J. Michael   Straczynski’s Thor. Again called on to illustrate a Marvel mega-event, Coipel   reunited with House of M writer Brian Michael Bendis on Siege. His subsequent   credits include returns to the world of the Thunder God, as well as   contributions to Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and Avengers vs. X-Men.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44681081520319,"sku":"9781302961923","price":83.19,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/9781302961923.jpg?v=1765188992","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/young-avengers-modern-era-epic-collection-the-childrens-crusade","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
