Career

Hans' art has appeared in a variety of mainstream comics titles, often as a cover artist, including Captain America: Steve Rogers, Ant-Man and the Wasp Prelude, Dark Agnes, Black Bolt with Marvel Comics, and Lucifer, and Batwoman with DC Comics.[2][3] Hans has also worked with comic book publishers Dark Horse, Valiant, Dynamite, Vertigo, and Boom Studios.

Die

Hans co-created Die with writer Kieron Gillen, which premiered in December, 2018 and is published by Image Comics. The fantasy comics series is about a group of middle-aged adults dealing with the returning horror from when they were teenage role-players. Gillen describes it as "the logical collision between the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon and Stephen King’s It, or ... a Goth Jumanji.” [4][5][6] Praising Hans' art in co-creating the series, Gizmodo reporter James Whitbrook said, "Hans is equally comfortable at depicting a grimy teen’s bedroom circa 1991 as she is a steampunk battlefield inspired by the bloodshed of World War One, or a towering, magical city of ancient spires."[7] Die was selected as a finalist for the 2020 Hugo Awards, and won the British Fantasy Award for best comic book.[8] The series will end its run in 2021.[9]
