Background
After graduate school Weisman became a development executive at Disney, where he pitched an early comedy version of Gargoyles to Michael Eisner; the show became an action-drama that ran 65 episodes in syndication before ABC picked up 13 more. Since 1997 he has run a website answering fan questions, mainly about Gargoyles and Young Justice.
He oversaw four seasons of Young Justice, voice-acting as Snapper Carr, and with Kevin Hopps wrote the tie-in comic from issue #7. In 2016 it was reported that he would return with Brandon Vietti for the revival season, Young Justice: Outsiders, which premiered in January 2019.
His comics work includes Star Wars: Kanan for Marvel, Starbrand & Nightmask, new Gargoyles comics for Dynamite from 2022 and The Spectacular Spider-Men for Marvel, announced in November 2023. He also wrote the novels Rain of the Ghosts and Spirits of Ash and Foam.
