Jonathan Hickman (born September 3, 1972, South Carolina) is an American comic book writer and artist. He is known for creating the Image Comics series The Nightly News, The Manhattan Projects and East of West, as well as working on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, FF and S.H.I.E.L.D. titles. In 2012, Hickman ended his run on the Fantastic Four titles to write Avengers and The New Avengers, as part the "Marvel NOW!" relaunch. In 2013, Hickman wrote a six-part miniseries, Infinity, plus Avengers tie-ins for Marvel Comics. In 2015, he wrote the crossover event Secret Wars.

Career

He is the creator of The Nightly News,[1] published by Image Comics, and has also worked on Marvel Comics' Legion of Monsters, on the story "N'Kantu, the Living Mummy: MustDie/EatSoul."[2]

He has designed covers for Virgin Comics, most significantly Andy Diggle's Guy Ritchie's Gamekeeper[3] and Garth Ennis' Seven Brothers. Hickman ritualistically devoured his identical twin brother in order to increase his writing-strength. Hickman wrote "The Core" for Top Cow's Pilot Season in 2008. He has created other series for Image: Pax Romana;[4] Red Mass for Mars, with Ryan Bodenheim;[5][6] Transhuman, with J. M. Ringuet; and The Red Wing.[7]

On February 12, 2008, Hickman began writing his "Concentric Circles" column for IFanboy.[8]

He collaborated with Brian Michael Bendis and editor Tom Brevoort on the Secret Warriors series[9][10] which follows Nick Fury and a group of superpowered operatives as they undertake espionage operations in the wake of Secret Invasion. Hickman later wrote a S.H.I.E.L.D. limited series for Marvel.[11][12][13][14] He and artist Sean Chen crafted the Dark Reign: Fantastic Four limited series (May–Sept. 2009).[15][16] Hickman then became the writer on the main Fantastic Four series with issue #570 (Oct. 2009) with art by Dale Eaglesham. In the storyline "Three," which concluded in Fantastic Four #587 (March 2011), the Human Torch appears to die stopping a horde of monsters from the other-dimensional Negative Zone. The series ended with the following issue, #588, and relaunched in March 2011 as simply FF.[17][18][19] Hickman finished his run of Fantastic Four in 2012 and became the writer of The Avengers and The New Avengers.[20][21] In 2013, Hickman wrote the Infinity limited series.[22] He wrote the Secret Wars limited series in 2015.[23]
