Writer J. Michael Straczynski made pop-culture history with the epic TV series Babylon 5. In 1999, Straczynski penned Top Cow's Rising Stars, leading to an offer from Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man, a title he revolutionized. "JMS" went on to write Supreme Power, Fantastic Four, Bullet Points, The Twelve and a fan-favorite revival of Thor. The latter helped inspire Marvel's Thor feature film, on which he shares a writing credit. JMS' screenplay for Changeling was directed by Clint Eastwood and starred Angelina Jolie, while his other movie credits include Underworld- Awakening and World War Z. For DC Comics, he has written iconic characters Superman and Wonder Woman.
