J. T. Krul (born November 14, 1972 in Michigan[1]) is a comic book writer, best known for his work on Aspen MLT's Fathom comic series.
Early life
J.T. Krul was born and raised in Michigan. He received a Bachelor's degree in Film and Video Production from Michigan State University.[2]
Career
Krul moved to Los Angeles, California in 1996, where he landed the job of production assistant on the TV show Seinfeld.[1][2] He was promoted to the position of the show's production coordinator in its last season.
J.T. Krul's first comic book work was at Marvel Comics, writing X-Men Unlimited and later, Spider-Man Unlimited.[3] He subsequently went to work for Michael Turner's company, Aspen MLT, writing their flagship titles Fathom and Soulfire. He then launched a creator-owned comic book there called Mindfield, which debuted in 2010.[2]
In 2008 Krul wrote Past Experience, a Heroes comic book story starring characters from the NBC TV series of the same name.[2][4] That same year, he wrote the third book in the Joker's Asylum series of one-shots, which featured Poison Ivy.[5][6]
Other books he has written for DC Comics include several issues of Teen Titans and Titans, including Blackest Night: Titans,[7] the tie in to DC's 2009-10 "Blackest Night" crossover storyline. In 2009 Krul wrote Justice League: The Rise and Fall, and Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal and later took over the Green Arrow series with issue #31 (May 2010), with a storyline titled "The Fall of Green Arrow".[8] After four issues a new volume of Green Arrow was launched with a new #1 with Krul writing.[9] He returned to Teen Titans as the main writer.[10]
As part of DC Comics' The New 52 relaunch in 2011, Krul wrote Green Arrow[11][12] and Captain Atom.[13] He left Green Arrow after issue #3 due to time pressures but continued to write Captain Atom.[14]
