The series is by writer Cullen Bunn, artist Vicente Cifuentes, colorist Nick Filardi, and letterer Dave Sharpe.
On the new villain Exarch Fane, Bunn says, “Exarch Fane is an ancient being from beyond the veil of life and death. He’s a warlord who dwells in a terrifying castle and surrounds himself with an army of the undead and worse. He even wields a sword forged from a black hole.
When you’ve got armaments and minions like that, when you’ve faced the Eternal Warrior in battle and survived, you get a little emboldened. Exarch Fane likes to talk, to both taunt and charm his enemies. He’d be a great dinner guest, except for his pesky habit of laying waste to worlds!“
