Biography
Scioli was born in Philadelphia and moved to Pittsburgh after studying at the University of Pittsburgh in the 1990s.Scioli's epic sci-fi/fantasy series The Myth of 8-Opus won a 1999 Xeric Grant and attracted mild industry attention, earning him a small part illustrating the Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Comic Magazine miniseries and ultimately higher-profile projects at Image Comics: the miniseries Freedom Force and the super-sci-fi-opera epic Gødland. Scioli has stated that Gødland is "the best thing out there right now" and that he can imagine staying with the book for the rest of his career.

In 2013, Scioli announced he was leaving comics, but in 2018, he produced Go Bots for IDW.
Scioli was raised in Philadelphia and resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
