Edward "Ed" McGuinness is an American comic book artist and penciller, best known for his work on "Superman", "Deadpool" and "Superman/Batman".

McGuinness is also known as half of the art team of "EdEx" along with inker Dexter Vines. The two men have teamed up on "Superman/Batman", "JLA Classified", "", and "The Hulk" vol. 4 (the last two series written by another frequent collaborator, Jeph Loeb).

McGuinness has also worked on titles such as "Wolverine 96", "Fighting American" and "Mr. Majestic".

McGuinness first gained the notice of comic-book fans with his work on "Deadpool" and "Vampirella". His short run on Wildstorm's "Mr. Majestic" landed him a gig on the monthly "Superman" title with Jeph Loeb, which led to the "Thundercats: Reclaiming Thundera" limited series, and arcs on "Superman/Batman".

In May 2006, McGuinness signed an exclusive two-year contract with Marvel Comics. His first printed Marvel piece was a cover for the Marvel limited series "Civil War", and featured the Mighty Thor in his original outfit. He also drew a variant cover for the monumental "Captain America" #25. McGuinness's first ongoing story was a 12-page "Ultimate" back-up featuring the Hulk vs. Wolverine. McGuinness and Loeb are now drawing/writing the new Hulk series, featuring the new "Red Hulk." He will pencil the fourth volume of "The Ultimates" written by Jeph Loeb.

Action Figures

To date, DC Direct has released five lines of action figures based on McGuinness' art. The first line of "Superman/Batman" figures included Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, Captain Atom, Metallo, and a special-edition figure of Superman disguised as Captain Marvel. The second line was based on the first arc of "JLA Classified", which McGuinness penciled. The "JLA Classified" line included Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. A third line, also from "Superman/Batman", included Kingdom Come Superman, Hawkman, Nightwing, Steel IV, and Lex Luthor in his battlesuit. A fourth line, based on the comic's "Vengeance" story arc, features Superwoman, Batwoman, Batman Beyond, Kryptonite Batman (which glows in the dark), Bizarro, and Batzarro. Most recently, in February 2008, an additional series from "Vengeance" was released, including Composite Superman, Power Girl, Supergirl, and a two-pack including The Joker and Mister Mxyzptlk.

Personal life

McGuinness is a graduate of Stoughton High School in Stoughton, Massachusetts. He now lives in Maine with his wife and four children.
