Jonathan Luna (born December 10, 1978) and Joshua Luna (born January 9, 1981), professionally known as the Luna Brothers, are Filipino-American comics creators known for their creator-owned books. They first achieved significant success with the series Ultra and Girls. They are also known for their book The Sword, and for providing the art for Marvel Comics' Spider-Woman: Origin. Although early in their career they shared both writing and art duties in their work, their collaboration evolved to the point where, after writing plots together, Joshua primarily scripts the dialogue, and Jonathan does all the art. The Lunas prefer to concentrate on female characters such as Spider-Woman, Red Sonja and their own creations, Ultra, Girls and The Sword, explaining, "Women are beautiful, smart, and strong, and we like to work on characters like that. It’s also fun to see women do amazing things like jump over buildings." Early lives Jonathan Luna and Joshua Luna were born on December 10, 1978 and January 9, 1981, respectively, in California to Filipino parents. Their earliest interest in comics were through publications like Mad magazine, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Uncanny X-Men, and in particular, creators such as Mort Drucker, Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, and Adam Hughes. The Lunas spent most of their childhood overseas, living on military bases in Iceland and Italy. In their teens they were enthusiastic fans of fellow Filipino comics creator Whilce Portacio, and his creation, Wetworks. They returned to the United States in their late teens, attending Savannah College of Art and Design, where they earned Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees. Jonathan graduated in 2001, and Joshua in 2003. Their interest in the comics medium was reignited when they noticed works such as Garth Ennis's Preacher, which inspired them to work in mature genres other than superheroes, as typified by the material published by Vertigo Comics. Career The Luna brothers sent Ultra to Image Comics publisher Erik Larsen as a blind submission, which consisted of a synopsis and five-page sequence. Image published Ultra as a miniseries between 2004 and 2005. Girls was also published by Image between May 2005 and April 2007. In October 2007, the brothers created a limited series, again for Image, titled The Sword. Joshua Luna worked a solo miniseries, Whispers, at Image in January 2012. Similarly, Jonathan Luna pursued his own project for Image, teaming with fellow writer Sarah Vaughn on Alex + Ada, which was
