About this title

About the Author:

Writer Mike Carey, best known for his work on Vertigo's Lucifer and Hellblazer, has made his mark in comics. Born in Liverpool, England, Carey worked as a teacher for fifteen years before gaining regular work writing for several independent companies. In 1999 he wrote the Sandman spinoff miniseries Sandman Presents: Lucifer. This led to the Lucifer solo title which earned him a nomination for the 2001 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards - Best Writer. The Fourth Rail said of his work, "Carey gives the characters in all of the stories believable motivations and characterization." His additional Vertigo projects have included Faker and Crossing Midnight. In 2007, he helped DC launch the Minx line of graphic novels for teen girls with the Regifters. Beyond DC, Carey was also recognized for his work on Marvel's X-Men titles. He makes his home in London with his wife, Lin, and his children, Davey, Ben and Louise.

Review:

"While I hate to see endings, any endings, it makes what came before that much more real and impactful. So, a toast to the end of everything: I'm sure it's going to be one hell of a heady ride."--AICN

"Incredibly fun and ridiculously addictive."--USA TODAY

"THE UNWRITTEN makes a leap from being just a promising new Vertigo title to being on-track to become the best ongoing Vertigo book since THE SANDMAN."--THE ONION/A.V. CLUB

"Fascinating... With casual yet deeply informed writing from Mike Carey and accessible art from Peter Gross, THE UNWRITTEN sucks you in as a witty satire of heroic boy wizards." --WIRED

"A wish-I'd-thought-of-it premise, beautifully executed.  Highly recommended for anyone who thinks that fantasy can do more than just help you escape the real world."--Brian K. Vaughan, Y THE LAST MAN

"By the first page of the first issue of THE UNWRITTEN I was intrigued. By page 3 I knew I'd be finishing the issue. Two pages later and I knew I'd be a fan and loyal reader of this new series for its entire run."--Bill Willingham, FABLES
