Laura Martin

Hannin later went on to work for Lee's WildStorm Studios, so when DePuy graduated, she "...went to visit him, and took my portfolio (now filled with comic-related coloring and artwork)... [and was] hired on several months later.

Martin summarizes this time philosophically, writing: "CrossGen was a good idea with a lot of talent behind it, that just didn't work out.

[1]Between 2001 and 2003, DePuy/Martin worked as "Assistant art director and Colorist" for CrossGen comics, ultimately moving to the companies base in Florida.

"[1] In December 2007, she helped color the first issue of Virgin Comics' Tall Tales of Vishnu Sharma: Panchatantra, while continuing to work on Thor and Astonishing X-Men.

May 2008 saw her join Garth Ennis and Howard Chaykin on the Marvel MAX series War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle, while June 2008 saw her debut on the main feature of a Marvel Comics event, coloring the artwork of Leinil Francis Yu on the Brian Michael Bendis-written Secret Invasion limited series.

She continued as colorist on Secret Invasion and War is Hell, having relinquished duties on Astonishing X-Men to new artist Simone Bianchi (with new writer Warren Ellis).

[citation needed] In October 2016, a variant cover she created for the first issue of the Image Comics Millarworld series Reborn was published.
