Justin Giampaoli’s sharp voice and insightful commentary earned him acclaim as an award-winning critic at Thirteen Minutes for over a decade. As a versatile writer and editor, Justin’s portfolio includes genre-defying work at DC/Vertigo, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, Madefire, Image, and Studio 12-7. His standout creations are the self-published crime caper The Mercy Killing, introductions and bonus content for New York Times bestseller DMZ at DC's landmark Vertigo imprint, the alt-history epic Rome West and the sci-fi drama Starship Down, both with artist Andrea Mutti at Dark Horse. Justin recently brought his editorial touch to geo-political thriller California, Inc. and horror anthology Disrupted Tales at Studio 12-7, where he returns to write Westside, a haunting crime drama illustrated by Dave Law, which is already generating buzz for its raw authenticity.
