About The Principles of Necromancy: While brave knights and dangerous monsters wage endless war, business is booming for Dr. Jakob Eyes, a traveling physician whose arcane remedies are the closest thing to magic the world knows. These gruesome miracles are only stepping stones for Dr. Eyes’ ultimate ungodly goal: to overcome death itself.

Raised in hippie enclaves (Kauai and Santa Cruz, respectively), they met in college and have since built a lifelong creative hivemind, becoming New York Times Bestselling comic book creators with three Eisner nominations along the way. They utilize their deep love of worldbuilding and character-centric story on critically-acclaimed titles such as Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (Marvel), Guardians of the Galaxy (Marvel), Batman Beyond: Neo-Year (DC), One Bad Day: Clayface (DC Comics), and Star Trek (IDW). They previously served as lead writers and executive producers of Kings of Atlantis, the first-ever animated kids series from YouTube Originals, and recently published their first middle-grade novel, Thor Quest, through Disney Press.
