Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ collaboration began in 2015 with The Sheriff of Babylon for DC Vertigo, when then-DC Editor Jamie Rich connected them after pitching the concept as”Justified meets Zero Dark Thirty.” It was Tom King’s first full comic series as a solo writer, and the pair clicked.Their next major project was the 12-issue Mister Miracle in 2017, which reimagined Jack Kirby’s Fourth World escape artist Scott Free as a story about trauma, depression, and family, and swept the 2019 Eisner Awards, and now an adult-animated series adaptation. They continued working together regularly on Strange Adventures, Heroes in Crisis, lots of Batman projects, including Tom King’s ongoing Batman run, the one-shot One Bad Day: The Riddler and The Winning Card in Batman: The Brave and the Bold.And now….Superman Something!
