Jason Aaron (born January 28, 1973)[1] is an American comic book writer, known for his work on titles such as Thor, The Mighty Thor, The Other Side, Scalped, Ghost Rider, Wolverine and PunisherMAX.

Early life[]

Jason Aaron was born in Jasper, Alabama.[2][3][4] His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers (1979), on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket (1987) was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase comic books from spinner racks, some of which he still owned as of 2012.[5]

Aaron graduated from Shelby County High School. He then attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English.[6]

Career[]

Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.[5]

In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side,[5] which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries,[7] and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.[5][8] Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation drawn by R. M. Guéra.[5][8][9]

In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions.[10] Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide "Secret Invasion" crossover with David Lapham in 2009.[11]

In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped.[11][12] In July of that year, he wrote the Penguin issue of Joker's Asylum.[13][14]

After a four-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre,"[15] In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine.[16] He followed this with the relaunch of The Incredible Hulk in 2011[17] and Thor: God of Thunder in 2012.[18] Aaron and artist Mike Deodato collaborated on the Original Sin limited series in 2014.[19] During his run on Thor, he brought in the new female Thor and wrote the relaunch of the book.

As of 2017, Aaron was writing a Star Wars comic book for Marvel, set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, as well as continuing his work on Thor, Doctor Strange, and the creator-owned series Southern Bastards with Jason Latour and The Goddamned with R. M. Guéra for Image. In 2018, he relaunched Thor with Mike del Mundo[20] and The Avengers with Ed McGuinness.[21] Aaron and Mahmud A. Asrar were scheduled to be the creative team on the Conan the Barbarian series when Marvel regained the licensing rights to the character in 2019.[22]

At the 2019 San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that Aaron's Thor storyline The Mighty Thor, which depicted Jane Foster acquiring the mantle of the Thunder God, would be the basis for the 2022 film Thor: Love and Thunder.[23][24][25]

Personal life[]

Aaron moved to Kansas City, Kansas in 2000, the day after the first X-Men feature film was released.[5]

Aaron is a passionate and well known fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.[26]

Commenting on the religious themes that run through his work, Aaron says he was raised Southern Baptist, but has since renounced religion: "I’ve been an atheist for many years, but I’ve remained fascinated by religion. If anything, I’ve become more fascinated by religion and faith after I lost mine."[27]
