Dennis Hopeless Hallum, a Kansas City native, has been creating independent comics since 2007, with titles such as Gearhead (Arcana), a four-issue super hero retribution story, and LoveSTRUCK (Image), an original graphic book about how you don't have to believe in love to make it. With the shocking AVENGERS ARENA, Hopeless gained a name for himself at Marvel, and his reputation has expanded on publications like CABLE and X-FORCE, the Disney Kingdoms title BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN RAILROAD, and several limited series. Hopeless has delighted Jessica Drew fans on SPIDER-WOMAN by giving her a fresh look and even a baby.
