Jordan Morris on Writing for Comic books, Animation, and Comedy
Description
Jordan Morris (writer of Predator: Bloodshed with artist Ruairi Coleman) joins Nerdy Mewzings to discuss his path from childhood comics fan to writing for Marvel, animation (Teen Titans Go, Jellystone), and creator-owned work.
Jordan shares how he discovered comics through Spider-Man and X-Men, learned the craft via Brian Michael Bendis’ Words for Pictures, and broke into comics with the graphic novel Bubble (based on his podcast). He talks about writing for animation, the joy of playing in the Spider-Verse with Spider-Versity (teaming younger spiders like Miles, Gwen, and Spider-Boy for a training camp story with big bad looming), and crafting brutal action in Predator: Bloodshed (an underground fighting tournament gone wrong).
He also opens up about balancing funny character moments with high-stakes adventure, why he gravitates toward deep-cut characters, and advice for aspiring writers: just write something and put it online — no gatekeepers needed. Jordan’s passion for blending humor, heart, and wild action shines through in every project.
