Career

Lafuente first penciled such series as ''Phénix'' and '' Kabur'' (written by Jean-Marc Lofficier) for Hexagon Comics, then was discovered by Marvel Editor C.B.

His first work for Marvel was doing the layouts and coloring for ''Spider-Man Family #2,'' Published in 2007. His first major work, however, was providing the pencils/inks for Kathryn Immonen's 2008-2009 ''Patsy Walker, Hellcat'' mini-series. After collaborating with writer Brian Michael Bendis on an ''Ultimate Spider-Man Annual'' in 2008, he was picked as the regular artist for that series' 2009 relaunch, which debuted in August 2009. He took over ''New Mutants'' as the regular artist, starting on issue 29, which was a tie-in to the 2011 "Fear Itself (comics), Fear Itself" storyline.

On April 9, 2011 Lafuente was one of 62 comics creators who appeared at the IGN stage at the Kapow! convention in London to set two Guinness World Records, the Fastest Production of a Comic Book, and Most Contributors to a Comic Book. With Guinness officials on hand to monitor their progress, writer Mark Millar began work at 9am scripting a 20-page black and white ''Superior (comics), Superior'' comic book, with Lafuente and the other artists appearing on stage throughout the day to work on the pencils, inks, and lettering, including Dave Gibbons, Frank Quitely, John Romita Jr., Jock (artist), Jock,"Kapow!
