.
Career
[
edit
]
Lanning works primarily at
Marvel Comics
and
DC Comics
as an inker. He has also
pencilled
books, such as his creation
The Sleeze Brothers
.
Lanning's writing has included his and Abnett's 2000 relaunch of DC's title
Legion of Super-Heroes
. The two co-created the
Resurrection Man
character with artist
Jackson Guice
in 1997.
[1]
Lanning and Abnett also collaborated on an ongoing
Nova
series for Marvel, which premiered in 2007. The duo previously authored a
Nova
miniseries as a tie-in for the Marvel crossover
Annihilation
,
[2]
starring Richard Rider, now the only member of the Xandarian Nova Corps. This led into their piloting the "
Annihilation: Conquest
" storyline,
[3]
and the core characters from this went on to form the new
Guardians of the Galaxy
.
[4]
Lanning teamed up with Abnett to relaunch
The Authority
,
[5]
with
Simon Coleby
on art, as part of the World's End relaunch of the core
Wildstorm
titles.
[6]
It was announced at
Wizard World Chicago
in June 2008 that Abnett and Lanning had signed an exclusive deal with Marvel, which they hoped would give them time to work on the "cosmic" characters they dealt with, as well as more earth-based ones. The contract allows them to finish existing commitments, so they will be able to finish their fifteen issue run on
The Authority
.
[7]
Their first major work which followed this was "
War of Kings
", which depicted the "cosmic" aftermath of
Secret Invasion
.
[8]
He also wrote the three-issue Marvel/
Top Cow
crossover miniseries
Fusion
.
[9]
In 2020 Lanning collaborated with
Ron Marz
on the nine-issue
DC Comics
crossover
storyline "
Endless Winter
", which would debut that December.
