In comics, they have written several graphic novels and miniseries for independent publisher Oni Press, including Skinwalker, Three Strikes, Maria's Wedding, The Tomb, Once in a Blue Moon and Past Lies.

They have also written for DC Comics, with stories appearing in Checkmate, Wonder Woman, Adventures of Superman and a recent Secret Files. The duo also work in the expanding field of Japanese manga, providing English adaptations for the Del Rey titles Guru-Guru Pon-Chan, Sugar Sugar Rune and Kagetora.
