In addition to Eternals with writer Neil Gaiman, JRJR teamed with Mark Millar on the creator-owned Kick-, later developed into a blockbuster feature film. Avid Spider-Man fans rejoiced at the artist's return to Amazing Spider-Man with the Brand New Day storylines "New Ways To Die" and "Character Assassination". He later joined writer Brian Michael Bendis on the relaunched Avengers and most recently joined writer Rick Remender on Captain America and writer Mark Millar on the further adventures of Kick-.
