Next came a couple of 2009 issues of Batman for DC itself for which he then pencilled a five-part serial in The Outsiders. His major breakthrough followed later in the year, when he launched Batgirl, drawing a dozen of the title's first 14 issues. Garbett's next major project was a three-issue run on Spider-Man: Big Time. in 2011. His inaugural Marvel assignment, it led to a three-part in Amazing Spider-Manserial and then to the Amazing Spider-Man/Ghost Rider: Motorstorm one-shot. He rounded out the year with the four-chapter Fear Itself: The Deep. Other than four issues of Ghost Rider, the artist's time was then given over to fill-ins (for DC as well as Marvel) until late in 2012, when he migrated to Valiant. Initially he worked on X-0 Manowar, where he pencilled two four-issue runs with issues of Harbinger and Shadowman in between. In 2014 he returned to Marvel where he pencilled all but one of the 17 issues of Loki: Agent of Asgard while also drawing the five weekly issues of a Thor/Loki serial published as a sidebar to 2014's Original Sin event. Garbett is now back at DC or rather at Vertigo, its mature readers imprint, as the regular penciller on the recently launched Lucifer.
