After years of wandering the country, Jarrod Jones moved to Chicago in 2012 and began the comics blog DoomRocket.com, which led to writing assignments for The A.V. Club, Polygon, CBR, and Primetimer. He is listed as a "Top Critic" on Rotten Tomatoes and wonders what that's supposed to mean. Instead of nurturing real-life friendships and/or going outside, he spends an inordinate amount of time on Letterboxd and leafing through early-90s issues of Superman: The Man of Steel.
