Ed Brisson is a Canadian comics writer and letterer who has written for independent comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics. He's been nominated for the Joe Shuster Award for Best Canadian Writer several times.[1][2][3]

Career

Brisson has been making comics for over twenty years. He began writing, drawing, coloring, and lettering his own work and selling them through records shops[4] before focusing on writing and self-publishing Murder Book, a series of crime comics, in 2010, with the first two stories illustrated by Simon Roy.[5] From there, he wrote the one-shot Black River and then Comeback and Sheltered at Image Comics.[4] He would collaborate with Roy again for The Field in 2014[6] and go on to write The Mantle[7] and The Violent[8] in 2015.

Brisson would start working with Marvel Comics in 2013, writing two issues of Secret Avengers in 2013 before being tapped to write a five-issue Bullseye mini-series in 2016[9] and a new Iron Fist series in 2017.[10] He then took over the ongoing Old Man Logan series at issue 25[11] writing until issue 50 and then concluding with a 12-issue mini-series Dead Man Logan.[12] In 2018, he wrote Extermination, a mini-series dealing with the time-displaced original five X-Men.[13][14] He also became the writer, alongside Matthew Rosenberg and Kelly Thompson, of the new volume of Uncanny X-Men,[15] co-writing the book until issue 10, and then writing a new volume of X-Force[16] and Age of X-Man: Nextgen.[17]

In 2019, he wrote the limited series Contagion[18] and the ongoing series Ghost Rider[19] which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[20] He also collaborated with Jonathan Hickman in writing New Mutants for the Dawn of X.[21] In 2021, he wrote Beyond the Breach for AfterShock Comics, a science fiction story about the aftermath of a cataclysm.[22] In 2022, his Predator comic with artist Kev Walker was released, a project initially planned for 2020 but delayed.[23] After six issues, the book was relaunched in 2023[24] and a third book, Predator: The Last Hunt, was published in 2024.[25] He also wrote the five issue Alpha Flight mini-series for the Fall of X.[26]

At DC Comics, Brisson took over as writer for Deathstroke Inc. at issue 10[27] and became the writer for the 2022 relaunch of Batman Incorporated.[28] In 2023, he wrote the crime/horror comic Sins of the Salton Sea for AWA Studios[29] and in 2024, he published The Displaced through Boom! Studios.[30] In November 2024, he was announced as the writing for the upcoming SilverHawks comic from Dynamite.[31]
