The series, written by Tynion (The Department of Truth, The Nice House by the Sea), illustrated by Oeming (Powers, William of Newbury), and lettered by Tom Napolitano (Blue Book, Absolute Flash), will also feature a different backup story in each issue. The first issue will include a backup story written and illustrated by Malachi Ward and lettered by Aditya Bidikar. It will also feature cover art by Oeming, Yuko Shimizu, Tyler Boss, and Dani.
