Ivan Reis is a Brazilian comic book artist. He is known for his work on books such as Marvel Comics' Captain Marvel, and DC Comics' Green Lantern books. According to collaborator Geoff Johns, Reis' drawing style resembles a combination of Alan Davis and Neal Adams.[1]

Career

For three years, Reis worked for Mauricio de Sousa in Brazil. He began his international career for Dark Horse working on titles such as Ghost, starting with issue #17 and acting as regular artist until that title finished at issue #36. There, he also worked on The Mask, Time Cop and Xena. Later, he worked for Lightning Comics.[2]

At Vertigo, he pencilled an issue of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles.[3] He became better known for Lady Death (Chaos! and CrossGen).

Reis also worked on Thing & She-Hulk: The Long Night, Avengers Icons: Vision, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Defenders and Avengers for Marvel Comics.

Since 2004 Reis has worked on Action Comics, Teen Titans, Rann–Thanagar War, Superman, and Infinite Crisis. After that, Reis started pencilling Green Lantern vol. 4.[4] Reis' left Green Lantern after issue #38 in 2009, in order to provide the artwork for the 2009 - 2010 miniseries Blackest Night[5] and its 2010 follow-up ongoing series Brightest Day.[6][7] Reis subsequently became the regular penciller of writer Geoff Johns' run on Aquaman vol. 7, which premiered in September 2011. Reis, who was acclaimed for his work on the title, remained on it for the first 13 issues, after which he moved to Justice League, where he would replace Jim Lee.[8][9]
