Kurt Busiek (born September 16, 1960) is an American comic book writer notable for his work on the Marvels limited series, his own title Astro City, and his four-year run on Avengers.
Early life
Busiek was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up in various towns in the Boston area, including Lexington, where he befriended future comic book creator Scott McCloud. Busiek did not read comics as a youngster, as his parents disapproved of them. He began to read them regularly around the age of 14, when he picked up a copy of Daredevil #120 (April 1975). This was the first part of a continuity-heavy four-part story arc; Busiek was drawn to the copious history and cross-connections with other series. Throughout high school and college, he and McCloud practiced making comics.
During this time, Busiek had many letters published in comic book letter columns, and originated the theory that the Phoenix was a separate being who had impersonated Jean Grey, and that therefore Grey had not died—a premise which made its way from freelancer to freelancer, and which was eventually used in the comics. Busiek explains, "A couple of years later, after I’d broken in, I attended my first convention as a pro, in Ithaca, New York, and I stayed at Roger Stern's house. And we were talking about how much we liked the new X-Men, and he said, 'It's just a pity there's no way to bring Jean Grey back,' and I said, 'Sure there's a way, there's always a way.'"
Just two comic book writers sitting around, hundreds of miles apart, talking about comics. Mark Evanier chats with his pal Kurt Busiek about the comic book field and what some people don't understand about it.

Grading Kurt Busiek's Avengers & The Return of the Team
In 1998, after rebooting under the dubious run of Heroes Reborn, the Avengers Reunited for a run by Kurt Busiek, George Pérez, and many others. In a true change in quality, this era of Avengers is defined by the return of old villains reaching new heights.
We'll talk about stand-out stories like Ultron Unlimited, which was heavily used as inspiration for the MCU 2015 movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, directed by Joss Whedon. Here, Ultron returns with devastating plans to wipe out the nation of Slorenia. With obvious ties to events past and current, there's plenty to talk about there alone.
But another story of particular note is the Kang Dynasty, where Kang the Conqueror takes over the entire world! With a changing world of comics and a culture as the series spanned all the way into 200...
