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.
Edmondson is the co-founder of Eco Defense Group, a non-profit organization training frontline park rangers throughout Africa, and Archon Ready Group, a company offering firearm training courses in the United States.
Early life
Edmondson is a native of Augusta, Georgia. He graduated from Mercer University's College of Liberal Arts in 2010 with degrees in art and art history.
Career
After working as a director of International Programs at the Leadership Institute, Edmondson entered the comics industry with Olympus, a 4-issue Image Comics mini-series illustrated by Christian Ward. He followed up with two 5-issue mini-series, again published by Image Comics, The Light with art by Brett Weldele and Who is Jake Ellis? with art by Tonči Zonjić. 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 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare video game series. While researching and writing the series, Edmondson consulted with various military personnel.
As part of DC Comics' 2011 initiative The New 52, Edmondson scripted Grifter, introducing the eponymous Wildstorm character into the DC Universe. In 2012, he penned the 4-issue Iron Man series for Marvel's Ultimate Comics imprint, following up with main continuity runs on The Punisher with his The Activity collaborator Mitch Gerads and Black Widow with Phil Noto. 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, with Seth Lochhead set to pen the script. In August 2016, Josh Mond was announced as the new director for the adaptation.
In 2015, Paramount Pictures optioned The Activity with Ken Nolan, the writer of Black Hawk Down, attached as the screenwriter. That same year, Edmondson appeared in an acting role in season 5 episode 14 of the TV series Rizzoli & Isles.
In 2016, Variety announced that Edmondson was scripting a pilot for the Gold Standard Media series Prodigal.
In 2017, Edmondson co-founded Eco Defense Group, a 501(c)(3) organization that focuses on counter-poaching and wildlife conservation in southern Africa.
Personal life
Edmondson lives outside Park City, Utah with his wife and two children.
