Dennis Hopeless is an American comics writer from Kansas City, Missouri who has written for Marvel Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Boom! Studios, Arcana Studio, and Oni Press. Hopeless has written multiple series starring teenage superheroes and has said that he "tend[s] to write about the challenge of growing up." He's been praised by critics for including a female point-of-view in his comics. After finding success with two creator-owned comics, Hopeless began writing for Marvel in 2011. In 2015, Hopeless wrote two limited series as part of Marvel's Secret Wars event. The following year, Hopeless began scripting Marvel's relaunched ongoing series All-New X-Men. That same year, he resumed his writing duties on Marvel's Spider-Woman comic, the sixth volume of the character's ongoing series. The series earned Hopeless some of the best reviews of his career, as he and his creative team received praise from feminist critics for showing the realities of motherhood. In 2017, Marvel began publishing a Jean Grey ongoing series, the character's first, with Hopeless and artist Victor Ibanez at the helm.
