About Marvels 2 comics
The long-awaited sequel to the award-winning publishing sensation that made Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross into stars begins here! News photographer Phil Sheldon's back, with the man-on-the-street's perspective on the big events of the Marvel
Universe, from the Avengers, the all-new X-Men and the Secret Wars to Dracula and the Werewolf By Night. But this time, Phil's world is going to be rocked not just by superheroes and super-villains -- but by something far more personal, as well.
Featuring the Marvel debut of artist Jay Anacleto, whose gorgeous, photorealistic pencil renderings give a new look at the Marvel Universe, and what it would be like to actually be there.

Marvel.com: For both Kurt and Roger, I was wondering what differences—if any—you've found on this project from your past collaborations? Has the relatively different type of story from books like AVENGERS FOREVER changed much in your scripting styles? Has the fact that Kurt plotted the series from the start changes how you're working back and forth?
Kurt Busiek: Everything we've worked on together has been done a little differently. When we worked on AVENGERS FOREVER, we'd work out the plots together, then Roger would type them up, I'd tweak them, and then script over [artist Carlos Pacheco's] art. On IRON MAN, we did it the other way around: we'd co-plot in much the same way, but then Roger would do the finished script. - READ MORE HERE
About Jay Anacleto
After having finished its studies of dentist, during whom it spent his time drawing, Jay Anacleto decided to be tested with the realization of comics. Encouraged by Whilce Portacio, him also of Philippines, it contacted Brian Haberlin, which had just left Top Cow to found Avalon studios. Brian Haberlin proposed a project to him that him and Brian Holguin had invented: thus was born Aria, the history of a princess of the fairies living among the men. This framework of urban fantasy, original in the middle of the innumerable comics of Superman, and the quality of the drawings of Anacleto met a strong success which made of it the second best sale of January 1999.
Thereafter, it drew also Aria - Angela , before starting to work on a new project entitled Athena Inc., there too in collaboration with Brian Haberlin. In parallel, it continued to carry out the covers of the following Aria mini-series and illustrated Aria - has mindwinter dream , one little book of tales written by Brian Holguin.
With its exit, Athena Inc. - The Beginning astonished once again. Indeed, this independent history moved away from the cartoon to approach the cinema: the illustrations all are of the drawings not inks returned in two-color printing and the boxes are not coupled the ones with the others. As for the dialogs, they are not in bubbles but rather within frameworks independent of the images, which float in the middle of the boxes. This number was followed a few months later of a limited series entitled Athena Inc. - The Manhunter project , which is its last work of scale published to date.
Jay Anacleto works in this moment with the drawing of the continuation of Marvels, the successful series which made known Alex Ross. - http://www.speedylook.com/Jay_Anacleto.html
