Bio:
Working primarily at Marvel Comics and DC Comics, Lanning's smooth, polished inking style—reminiscent of Joe Sinnott or Terry Austin—has been in high demand since the early 1990s. He has also pencilled on occasion—for instance, on his creation The Sleeze Brothers.
Lanning's highest-profile writing assignment was probably his and Abnett's 2000 relaunch of DC's title Legion of Super-Heroes.
Lanning and Abnett also collaborated on an ongoing Nova series for Marvel, which premiered in 2007. The duo previously authored a Nova miniseries as a tie-in for the Marvel crossover Annihilation, starring Richard Rider, now the only member of the Xandarian Nova Corps. This led into their piloting the Annihilation: Conquest storyline, and the core characters from this went on to form the new Guardians of the Galaxy.
Lanning teamed up with Abnett to write the latest incarnation of The Authority, with Simon Coleby on art, as part of the World's End relaunch of the core Wildstorm titles.
It was announced at Wizard World Chicago in June 2008 that Abnett and Lanning had signed an exclusive deal with Marvel, which they hope will give them time to work on the "cosmic" characters they have been dealing with, as well as more earth-based ones. The contract allows them to finish existing commitments, so they will be able to finish their fifteen issue run on The Authority. Their first major work following this will be "War of Kings", which depicts the "cosmic" aftermath of Secret Invasion.
