Busiek is currently the writer of Superman, but will soon be replaced by James Robinson.

As well, he began writing the DC title Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis and wrote from issues 40-49. During DC's Infinite Crisis event, he teamed with Geoff Johns on a One Year Later 8-part story arc (called Up, Up and Away) that encompassed both Superman titles. In December 2005 Busiek signed a two-year exclusive contract with DC Comics. In 2003, Busiek began a new Conan series for Dark Horse Comics but has since moved on. In 2003, Busiek re-teamed with Perez to create the JLA/Avengers limited series. Busiek's tenure culminated with the Kang Dynasty storyline. Perez departed from the series in 2000, but Busiek continued as writer for two more years, collaborating with artists Alan Davis, Kieron Dwyer and others. In 1997, Busiek began a celebrated stint as writer of Avengers alongside artist George Pérez. As a fan, he created the theory that Jean Grey had never died and became the Phoenix, which was later integrated into the comics. These include Arrowsmith, The Avengers, Icon, Iron Man, The Liberty Project, Ninjak, The Power Company, Red Tornado, Shockrockets, Superman: Secret Identity, Thunderbolts, Untold Tales of Spider-Man, JLA, and (perhaps most notably) the Marvels mini-series followed by Homage Comics Kurt Busiek's Astro City.

What do you do? Keep your head low or go for the big win? Superstar storyteller Howard Chaykin (American Flagg, Wolverine) takes you through Marvel’s mean streets. And oh yeah, there’s a brewing super villain gang war building. Plenty of henchman work available, if you don’t mind ending up in traction. Let’s say you’re a lowlife criminal in Manhattan, just trying to get by in a world that’s recently gotten full of spider-men, daredevils, power men and more, and you just want to make a decent illegal living.
