Sean Kelley McKeever (born 1972) is an American comic book writer and video game writer . Born in Appleton, Wisconsin he grew up in Eagle River . [1] He is mostly known for his creator-owned series The Waiting Place and Outpost Zero, Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane and Sentinel for Marvel Comics and his run on Teen Titans for DC Comics . Among the video games he worked on are BioWare 's Star Wars: The Old Republic and FoxNext Games ' Storyscape: The X-Files . [2]
After dropping out of college, Sean McKeever ran a 250-foot comic store inside his parents' hardware and sporting goods store.
Being inspired by comic books like Strangers in Paradise , Stray Bullets and Hate as well as TV series like Seinfeld and ER , he created his self-published comic book series The Waiting Place .
After three issues, it was picked up and republished by indie comic publisher Slave Labor Graphics , who published two volumes with 18 issues in total from 1997 to 2002. [3] In 2005, he won an Eisner Award for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition. [4]
He has written for the monthly comic books Gravity, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man , Sentinel and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane , all for Marvel Comics, and on January 9, 2007, DC Comics announced that McKeever had signed an exclusive contract with the publisher. He was a part of the writing team working on DC's weekly series Countdown , [5] and took over for Gail Simone as the writer of Birds of Prey after issue #112, however, his last issue was #117 due to time constraints with deadlines. Sean also took up writing duties on Teen Titans with the double sized August issue #50 [6] [7] and also wrote the Terror Titans limited series that spun off from this. [8] His run on Teen Titans has ended with issue #71, [9] [10] although he has continued with a Ravager back-up story starting in #72. [11]
It was announced at Wizard World Philadelphia 2009 that McKeever, no longer under exclusive contract to DC, would write the limited series Nomad: Girl Without a World for Marvel Comics. [12] [13] This led into Young Allies , a new series and team formed after the Heroic Age line-wide reboot, all with artist David Baldeon . [14] [15]
In 2009, McKeever wrote a new story for The Waiting Place illustrated by Mike Norton. The story was printed in The Waiting Place: The Definitive Edition from IDW Publishing . [11]
In 2011, with Marvel cancelling several titles and placing a moratorium on new series, and DC launching The New 52 , McKeever found himself suddenly out of comic book work. He applied for a game writing position at BioWare and after being accepted, he moved to Austin, TX , to work full-time on the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic . After his time at BioWare, he wrote for other video games, including a The X-Files narrative mobile game , published by FoxNext Games . [2] [16]
He returned to comic book writing with his creator-owned series Outpost Zero ( Skybound / Image Comics ) in 2018. From 2022 to 2023 he wrote story arcs for Marvel's digital comic series Love Unlimited and Avengers Unlimited. In 2023, he contributed a story to Blood Hunters #3 for Marvel. In 2024, McKeever worked as narrative director on a mobile game from Scopely . [17]
