My Take
Charlie Huston is exactly the kind of restless storyteller I gravitate toward, a writer who refuses to stay in one lane. Out of Oakland, he writes screenplays, novels, and comics with equal appetite. The Joe Pitt Casebooks, starring a vampire detective, are pure genre delight, and the fact that his crime novel Caught Stealing became a 2025 Darren Aronofsky film tells you the industry takes him seriously. I love writers who carry both noir's darkness and a pulpy sense of fun in the same hands. His Marvel comics work only widens the range. Quietly versatile and built from the ground up, he's someone I keep tabs on.
