I’m Laura Hudson, a journalist, editor, and writer of various media, including TV, video games, and comics. My 4-issue technothriller comic EXPLOIT (co-written by Tim Leong) is out now from Mad Cave Studios, and the trade paperback collection hits bookstores via Simon & Schuster on 10/27.

I’ve spent over 15 years reporting on entertainment, technology and culture, particularly comic books, video games, and online harassment. I’ve worked as an editor at WIRED and The Verge, and my work has also appeared in The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Slate, FiveThirtyEight, TIME, The Guardian, BBC, Vulture, Complex and The LA Times.
