Steve McNiven

In 2013 he drew the Guardians of the Galaxy ongoing series with writer Brian Michael Bendis. McNiven said, "I've been a huge fan of science fiction for most of my life. You can blame my dad for that. He always had a sci-fi book or three around the house. We both still read and pass each other books we've read. It's a bit of a family tradition now. So when the opportunity to explore the sci-fi areas of the Marvel Universe came my way I jumped at the chance." McNiven drew the Uncanny Avengers from issue 14 to issue 17. McNiven was the artist for Marvel Comics' Limited series Death of Wolverine , as well as the artist of The ongoing titles Uncanny Inhumans published in October 2015.

In 2011 Marvel relaunched a new volume of Captain America, with McNiven as artist. In 2012 he drew Avengers vs. X-Men #2.
