Nathan Edmondson is an American comic book writer, best known for his creator-owned series Who is Jake Ellis?, published by Image Comics, as well as the runs on The Punisher and Black Widow for Marvel Comics.

Early life

Edmondson is a native of Augusta, Georgia.[4] He graduated from Mercer University's College of Liberal Arts in 2010 with degrees in art and art history.[5] [2]

Career

After working as a director of International Programs at the Leadership Institute,[4] [6] Edmondson entered the comics industry with Olympus, a 4-issue Image Comics mini-series illustrated by Christian Ward.[5] [7] He followed up with two 5-issue mini-series, again published by Image Comics, The Light with art by Brett Weldele[8] [9] and Who is Jake Ellis? with art by Tonči Zonjić.[10] Edmondson's longest work at Image was The Activity, a series about the United States Army Intelligence Support Activity that was born out of his love for the TV series The Unit, the Mission: Impossible film series and military films like Black Hawk Down, as well as the video game series.[11] While researching and writing the series, Edmondson consulted with various military personnel.[12]

As part of DC Comics' 2011 initiative The New 52, Edmondson scripted Grifter, introducing the eponymous Wildstorm character into the DC Universe.[13] In 2012, he penned the 4-issue Iron Man series for Marvel's Ultimate Comics imprint,[14] following up with main continuity runs on The Punisher with his The Activity collaborator Mitch Gerads[15] and Black Widow with Phil Noto.[16] [17] Edmondson's latest work at Marvel and his last work in comics to date was Red Wolf.

In 2013, Who is Jake Ellis? was optioned by 20th Century Fox as a project for director David Yates,[18] with Seth Lochhead set to pen the script.[19] In August 2016, Josh Mond was announced as the new director for the adaptation.[20]

In 2015, Paramount Pictures optioned The Activity with Ken Nolan, the writer of Black Hawk Down, attached as the screenwriter.[21] That same year, Edmondson appeared in an acting role in season 5 episode 14 of the TV series Rizzoli & Isles.[22]

In 2016, Variety announced that Edmondson was scripting a pilot for the Gold Standard Media series Prodigal.[23]

In 2017, Edmondson co-founded Eco Defense Group, a 501(c)(3) organization that focuses on counter-poaching and wildlife conservation in southern Africa.[24] [25]

Personal life

Edmondson lives outside Park City, Utah[26] with his wife and two children.[27]
