Career
Film and television
Loeb's debut in filmmaking was his collaboration with Matthew Weisman in authoring the script ofTeen Wolf.The film was released on August 23, 1985, and was a notable starring role forMichael J. Fox.Loeb and Weisman then collaborated in writing the script ofCommando.The film was released on October 4, 1985, and starredArnold Schwarzenegger.[17]His next screen credit was the filmBurglar,released on March 20, 1987. The plot was based on the novels ofLawrence Blockabout fictionalburglarBernie Rhodenbarr.His collaborators were Weisman andHugh Wilson.
The film was atypical for the time, featuring a femalecomedicrole for starring actressWhoopi Goldberg.[18]His second film that year wasTeen Wolf Too,a sequel ofTeen Wolf,which was co-written by Weisman andTim Kring.The film was released on November 20, 1987. The film featuredteen idolJason Batemanand veteran actorJohn Astin.Loeb would re-team with Kring almost two decades later for the TV seriesHeroes.Four years later, Loeb was working on a script forThe Flashas a feature withWarner Bros.While the script deal fell through, Loeb met then publisherJenette Kahnwho asked Loeb to write a comic book forDC Comics.
In 2002, Jeph Loeb wrote the script for the episode ofSmallville,entitled "Red", which introduced redkryptoniteinto the series. He became a supervising producer and has written many episodes since then. He signed a three-year contract, and although producers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough offered to keep him on for future seasons, Loeb left to care for his son, who had cancer (See Comics career below).[19]
Loeb later became a writer/producer on theABCTV seriesLostduring that show's second season. LeavingLost,Loeb went on to become Co-Executive Producer and writer on the NBC dramaHeroes,which his colleague Tim Kring had created. Loeb wrote the teleplay for the first-season episodes "One Giant Leap"and"Unexpected".The show prominently features the artwork of Tim Sale, Loeb's longtime comics collaborator.[20]
The series was nominated for the 2007Emmy Awardfor Outstanding Drama Series, and aWriters Guild of Americaaward for Best New Series. It won thePeople's Choice Awardfor Favorite New TV Drama, as well theSaturn Awardfor Best Network Television Series. It was also nominated for theGolden GlobeAward for Best Dramatic Television Series.[21]
Loeb and Tim Kring were presented with theJules Verne Awardfor Artistic Achievement at theJules Verne FestivalinParis,France, on April 22, 2007, for their work onHeroes.[22]Loeb himself was also presented with a belated 2005 Jules Verne Award for Best Writing for his work onSmallville,which he had not previously been given because his trip to the Festival that year had been cancelled due to his son's ill health.[23]
On November 2, 2008,Daily Varietyreported that Loeb and fellowHeroesco-executive producer,Jesse Alexander,were no longer employed on the series. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Loeb stated, "As of today, Jesse Alexander and I have leftHeroes.I'm incredibly proud to have been a big part of the success a show with eight Emmy nods and a win this year for NBC. I will miss the superb cast and writing staff and wish everyone the best. "At the time, Loeb had completed writing and producing the third-season episode,"Dual".[4][24]
On June 28, 2010, Marvel Entertainment, as part of its expansion into television, appointed Loeb to the position of Executive Vice President, Head of Television of the newly createdMarvel Television,in which Loeb would work with publisher Dan Buckley, to create both live-action and animated shows based on Marvel's catalog of characters.[5][6]During his time as the head of Marvel Television, he executive produced live-action shows within the Marvel Cinematic Universe such asAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,Agent Carter,andInhumans,shows onNetflixsuch asDaredevil,Jessica Jones,Iron Fist,The Punisher,Luke Cage,and the miniseriesThe Defenders,along with younger adult shows likeRunawaysandCloak & Dagger,and other live action or animated shows based on Marvel characters likeM.O.D.O.K.,The Gifted,Legion,Helstrom.
In October 2019,Marvel StudiosPresidentKevin Feigewas promoted to Chief Creative Officer ofMarvel Entertainment,which includes Marvel Television, prompting Loeb to leave the company after nearly a decade. Loeb had been planning his departure, however, before Feige's promotion.[25][26]
Comics career
Loeb is known for his extensive use of narration boxes as monologues to reveal the inner thoughts of characters, though the character interactions he writes are sparse in terms of dialogue.[16]
Jeph Loeb's first comic work wasChallengers of the Unknownvol. 2 #1 – #8 (March – October 1991), which was the first of many collaborations with Tim Sale.[27]Their later collaborations included the"Year 1"-centeredBatman: Legends of the Dark Knight Halloween Specials;[28]Batman: The Long Halloween,[29]a 13-issuelimited series;andBatman: Dark Victory,[30]a 14-issue limited series set in the first years of the hero's career.The Long Halloweenwas one of three noted comics that influenced the 2005 feature filmBatman Begins,the others beingBatman: The Man Who FallsandBatman: Year One.[31]Other Loeb-Sale collaborations at DC include theSuperman for All Seasonslimited series[32]andCatwoman: When in Rome.[33]
At Marvel Comics, Loeb worked on the "Age of Apocalypse"crossover storyline in 1995[34]and co-created the characterX-Manwith artistSteve Skroce.[35]Loeb wrote the "Heroes Reborn"version ofCaptain Americain 1996–1997.[36]He and Tim Sale crafted several limited series for Marvel includingDaredevil: Yellow[37]Spider-Man: Blue,[38]andHulk: Gray.[39]
Loeb became the writer ofSupermanwith issue #151 (Dec. 1999). His tenure on the title, largely drawn byEd McGuinness,included the "Emperor Joker"[40]and "Our Worlds at War"[41]crossovers. He leftSupermanwith issue #183 (August 2002). At the end of 2002, Loeb teamed with artistJim Leeto create the year-long story arc "Batman: Hush",[42]which spawned three lines of toys, posters and calendars, and sat at the #1 spot for eleven of the twelve months it was in publication. The following year, Loeb and McGuinness launchedSuperman/Batman.[43]Loeb's run on the title spawned a new ongoingSupergirlseries,[44]and ananimated filmadapted from Loeb's "Public Enemies" story arc.[45]
After signing an exclusive contract with Marvel in September 2005, Loeb launchedHulkwith artist Ed McGuinness, in which he introduced theRed Hulk.[46]
In 2006, Loeb chose his hometown ofStamford, Connecticut,to be subject tosuperherodestruction in the first issue of the 2006–2007 Marvel miniseriesCivil War,the central title of thecrossoverstoryline of the same name.[47][1]That same year, Marvel announced an untitledSpider-Manseries by Loeb andJ. Scott Campbell,to be released "sometime in 2007".[48]The series was subsequently cancelled and then brought back on the schedule in 2010, with a 2011 article mentioning it was "still being worked on".[49]In 2021, Campbell confirmed that the project has been cancelled despite having two fully pencilled issues.[50]
In 2007, Jeph wrote theminiseriesFallen Son: The Death of Captain America,which used thefive stages of griefas a motif to explore reactions of various characters of the Marvel Universe to the loss of the assassinated Captain America.[51]The first issue ranked No. 1 in sales for April 2007,[52]and the fifth and final issue, dated July 4, 2007, was the "Funeral for Captain America", which was covered by theAssociated PressandThe Washington Post.[53]
Loeb wrote two miniseries for theUltimate Marvel Universe.His work onThe Ultimates 3in 2007, with artist Joe Madureira, was panned by critics for its use of transgressive sexual and violent content for shock value "without the political relevance or epic pacing of the first two volumes." In 2008, Loeb returned to the Ultimate Universe with artist David Finch for the critically reviled five-issue miniseriesUltimatum.Described in a 2015Vultureretrospective as "one of the biggest creative disasters in comics history",Ultimatum's gratuitous murder scenes permanently damaged sales across the entire Ultimate Universe and in the long run brought about its cancellation. "Over the course of just five issues, 34 different heroes and villains were murdered, often by gruesome means: Doctor Strange was squeezed until his head exploded; Magneto was decapitated; the Blob ate the Wasp and, while holding her half-devoured corpse, belched out, 'Tastes like chicken'; and so on." The review site Let's Be Friends Again describedUltimatumas "a base and insulting comic book." Critic Jason Kerouac wrote, "Ultimatum#5 could quite possibly be the single worst piece of writing in recorded history. "[54]
ACaptain America: Whitelimited series was announced in 2008 but only a #0 issue was published. The long-delayed project was scheduled to finally see print in September 2015.[55]
Loeb shares his writing studio, The Empath Magic Tree House, withGeoff JohnsandAllan Heinberg.[56][57]
Personal life
Loeb's son, Sam, died on June 17, 2005, at the age of 17, after a three-year battle withbone cancer.In June 2006, Sam had a story published inSuperman/Batman#26, which was nearly completed before his death. His father finished the work with the help of 25 other writers and artists, all of whom were friends of Sam, includingGeoff Johns,John Cassaday,Ed McGuinness,Joe Madureira,Rob Liefeld,andJoss Whedon.The issue also featured a tale titled "Sam's Story", dedicated to Sam, in which a boy named Sam serves as the inspiration for Clark Kent to later become Superman.[58]
Racial controversy
During Loeb's tenure as the head of Marvel Television, theNetflixshowsDaredevil,Iron FistandThe Defenderswere criticized for promotingnegative stereotypes of East Asians and East Asian culture.[59][60][61]Followingthe controversy surroundingIron Fist's casting,Loeb defended the casting of white actorFinn Jones,emphasizing thatDanny Rand's status as an "outsider" was a vital theme of the show.[62]
While promotingthe second season ofIron Fistat San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Loeb appeared on stage wearing akarate giand headband as part of a comic bit withIron FistactressJessica Henwick,who forced him to remove the costume. The stunt was heavily criticized asculturally insensitive.[63][64][65]
During the #SaveDaredevilCon panel for Comic-Con@Home in July 2020,Peter Shinkoda,a Canadian actor ofJapanese descentwho played recurring villainNobu YoshiokaonDaredevil,suggested that Loeb forced the show's writers to drop proposed storylines fleshing out Nobu and fellow recurring villainMadame Gao.Shinkoda accused Loeb of explaining to writers that "there were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy calledBladethat was made whereWesley Snipeskilled 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a shit so don't write about Nobu and Gao. "[66][67][68]Shinkoda also claimed that he and Gao's actressWai Ching Howere not invited to theseason 2premiere ofDaredeviland received less payment than the extras. Co-star Tommy Walker said thatDaredevilandDefendersshowrunnerDoug Petriehad previously pitched amultiracial Asian Americanversion ofIron Fistto Marvel Television in early development, but was rejected by Loeb.[69][70]

Critical reaction
Many of Loeb's books, such asBatman: The Long Halloween,Superman For All Seasons,and the Marvel "color" books (Daredevil: Yellow,Spider-Man: Blue,Hulk: Gray) have garnered critical praise,[76]and have been adapted into other media.[31][45]
Hulk#1, in which Loeb introduced theRed Hulk,was the #1 selling comic book for January 2008.[77]Subsequent issues sold well,[78][79][80]but received mixed to negative reviews.[81][82][83][84]Issues #7–9 of the series, along withKing-Size Hulk#1, were collected into atrade paperbackvolume,Hulk: Red and Green,which made theNew York TimesGraphic Books Best Seller Listin May 2009 (as didBuffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8,Volume 4, on which Loeb collaborated).[85]
The first issue of Loeb'sThe Ultimates 3continued the series' history of ranking at No. 1 in sales,[86]though the series was much less well-received critically than its predecessors.[87][88][89][90][91]
The first issue ofUltimatumranked No. 1 in sales for November 2008.[92]AtWeekly Comic Book Review,Andrew C. Murphy gave it aB+,praising David Finch's art, while Ben Berger gave it a C, opining that there was too muchexposition,but praising Finch's art.[88]The rest of the series, however, received more negative reviews.[93]IGN's Jesse Schedeen gave the series' final issue a scathing review, saying, "Ultimatum is one of the worst comics I have ever read," and called it "the ultimate nightmare."[94]Points of criticism among these reviews included the level of graphic violence, which includedcannibalism,and the notion that the series was sold on the basis of its shock value,[95]with some reviewers singling out Loeb's dialogue, characterization and storytelling,[76][96]others asserting the story's lack of originality,[97][98]or opining that the series would've been better suited to someone who had previously been more involved with the Ultimate line, such asBrian Michael BendisorMark Millar.[99]
In 2009Ultimates 3andUltimatumwere included onComicsAlliance's list of The 15 Worst Comics of the Decade.[100]

The first comic that made me want to collect comics was in the summer of 1970. I've told this story so many times and every time I've said it wasSub Mariner#29 and I recently moved and found a copy of the comic, and it's actuallySub Mariner#30. It has Captain Marvel standing knee-high in water and yelling at the Sub Mariner on the beach and it almost looks like aTrue Romancecomic.
