Transcription
Career
For three years, Reis worked for Maurício de Sousa in Brazil. He began his international career for Dark Horse Comics working on Ghost, starting with issue #17 and acting as regular artist until the series concluded with issue #36. Other work for Dark Horse included The Mask, Time Cop, and Xena. He later worked for Lightning Comics.[2]
At Vertigo, he pencilled an issue of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles.[3] He became better known for Lady Death at Chaos! and CrossGen. At Marvel Comics, Reis worked on The Thing & She-Hulk: The Long Night, Avengers Icons: Vision, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, The Defenders, and The Avengers.
Since 2004 Reis has worked for DC Comics on Action Comics, Teen Titans, Rann–Thanagar War, Superman, and Infinite Crisis. Reis started pencilling Green Lantern vol. 4 with issue #10 (May 2006).[4] Reis left Green Lantern after issue #38 (March 2009) to draw the Blackest Night limited series (June 2009 – May 2010)[5] and its follow-up limited series Brightest Day (July 2010 – June 2011).[6][7] Reis was the regular penciller of writer Geoff Johns' run on Aquaman vol. 7, which premiered in September 2011. Reis drew it for the first 13 issues before moving to Justice League where he replaced Jim Lee.[8][9] Johns and Reis introduced the Crime Syndicate of America into the New 52 continuity in Justice League #23 (Oct. 2013).[10] Reis drew the first issue of Grant Morrison's The Multiversity in 2014.[11] Reis drew the first issue of Brian Michael Bendis' The Man of Steel limited series[12] and collaborated with Bendis on the relaunched Superman ongoing series in 2018.[13]
On December 1, 2023, Reis was announced to be the tenth creator to join Ghost Machine,[14][15] a cooperative media company, whose formation had been announced in October at the New York Comic Con, which would publish creator-owned comics through Image Comics.[16][17] Reis would reunite with Johns on the horror title Hyde Street, which Image Comics described as combining "Blackest Night's fantastic scope with Twilight Zone's thought-provoking drama." Reis illustrated variant covers for Ghost Machine #1,[14][15] an anthology ashcan comic to be published in January 2024, that would introduce Ghost Machine's four shared universes,[18] including Hyde Street. The Hyde Street series would debut later that year.[14][15] On December 3,[19] Reis confirmed on his Instagram page that he was leaving DC Comics, after a 20 year stint with the publisher.[20]
