She enjoyed a long-running stint on The Simpsons comics and has also written for television and video games. In 2024, Orbit Books published her debut novel Red Sonja: Consumed. Her work has been nominated for a number of awards including the GLAAD Media Award, and she is the recipient of an Inkpot Award at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con. Ed Benes got his first professional work in 1993, after he mailed out sample art, and was discovered by Neal Adams, who gave him the job of illustrating Samuree for Continuity Comics in 1993. In the 1990s Benes began to work for Marvel, where he did art for multiple comic book titles, including a Captain Marvel six-part miniseries. He later moved to DC Comics, where he continued penciling more work for titles such as Gen13, Birds of Prey, Supergirl (vol. 3), and Superman (vol. 2). In 2006 Benes was assigned to provide art to for writer Brad Meltzer's run on Justice League of America series, which he drew until 2009. He subsequently contributed to Batman and Birds of Prey (vol. 2) titles, and Steel. In 2018, Benes released the first comic he also wrote along with penciling, Nina & Ariel. Financed through crowdfunding, the title takes an adult comics approach inspired by Fire and Ice, where two female warriors try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
