Primary rolewriter

Jeffrey T. Krul was born on November 14, 1972, in Michigan, and went on to become one of the more versatile writers working across both independent and mainstream superhero comics in the 2000s and 2010s. He is perhaps best recognized for his sustained contributions to Aspen MLT's Fathom universe, the fantasy-action property originally built around Michael Turner's distinctive visual style. Over a prolific stretch running from 2004 to 2018, Krul accumulated credits on more than 200 issues, demonstrating a consistent work ethic across a notably broad range of titles.

His most frequent assignments included Michael Turner's Soulfire and Michael Turner's Fathom at Aspen, where he helped shepherd Turner's creator-owned concepts forward. He also made substantial inroads at DC Comics, taking on Green Arrow, Teen Titans, and Captain Atom — titles that placed him squarely within the publisher's core superhero line. His work on Bloodlines rounded out a catalog that moved comfortably between elemental fantasy and traditional cape-and-cowl storytelling.

Krul's career reflects the particular path of a writer who found a home nurturing independent properties while simultaneously engaging with established franchise characters, sustaining that balance across roughly fourteen years of active publishing work.
