About Matthew Brandon
Matthew Brandon is a writer/poet/mythologist/yogi living in Los Angeles.

His publications include poems in Heron Clan’s Volume V, Quillkeeper’s Press’ Mental Health Anthology, and Free Spirit as well as short stories published in Grim and Gilded Magazine and Story Unlikely.
Growing up with comics, Matthew is fascinated most with the archetypes of stories that have been with us as a species during our entire evolution, and nowhere are they more on display than in the comic world. When he’s not writing or reading, he’s teaching yoga or traveling around the world marking all the beautiful things he finds.

A new writer to Screenrant's comics team, Matthew focuses on news features in the DC universe, like Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash.
Favorite Media
Matthew loves anything weird and magical, from Neil Gaiman's Sandman to Grant Morrison's iconic Doom Patrol run. He is also a die-hard fan of Tom King, specifically as it relates to Batman and to Heroes in Crisis.
