Writer, Jeremy Adams
Hailing from the small town of Prescott, Jeremy graduated from the University of Arizona and promptly moved to Los Angeles to pursue his entertainment industry dream. After working as a writer and producer on several animated shows, Jeremy rose to notoriety with his high-concept ideas and intense love of action and comedy. He was the brainchild of the much-lauded Scooby-Doo / Supernatural crossover that is still considered one of the best episodes of this long-running CW series. “Scoobynatural” premiered to thousands of fans at the Kodak Theatre during PaleyFest to huge acclaim.
After writing several very successful films for LEGO and DC, LEGO also asked Jeremy to produce, write, and story edit their new original show called “Monkie Kid.” The cultural partnership took Adams to China to develop the show and participate in a documentary about its making with their international partners.
Abroad, Monkie Kid has been a massive success, with the first “special” reaching over fifty million viewers within the first week of release.
Adams quickly began to apply his craft to the delight of adult animation fans, writing the critically acclaimed Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, which is currently the highest-grossing DTV for Warner Bros. Working closely with artist and legend Bruce Timm, Adams also wrote Batman: Soul of the Dragon and went on to write movies such as Batman and Superman, Battle of the Supersons, Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match, as well as co-writing both Justice League Warworld and Justice Society: World War II.
Though his free time is limited, Adams also enjoys fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing comics, first with a beloved 30 plus run of issues on the Flash, and now as the writer for the ongoing Green Lantern. Coming up, he’ll be taking the reigns of Mad Cave’s relaunch of FLASH GORDON!
With many other animated movies and shows on the horizon, Jeremy is always writing and creating new projects, all of which possess unbeatable action and plenty of heart.
Artist, Will Conrad
Will Conrad began his comics career as an inker, most notably a long run on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

He resides in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with his wife Bella and their two daughters.
