Matthew Murphy was born in Yonkers, New York in 1992 to an Irish-Catholic, hockey-loving family. At age 15, his lazy eye caught site of an Ultimates trade paperback and life was never the same. In May 2014, he graduated from Manhattanville College with a Bachelor's degree in Communications. When he's not reading comic books or writing about them, he is at a 9-5 job to fund an online shopping addiction.
