About J Brodie Shirey

J. Brodie Shirey is a Contributor from the United States who currently lives in York, Pennsylvania. He's just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe, but aren’t we all? Brodie is a big comic book, video game, and science fiction fan, and likes writing articles for TheBestWarGames or scripts for some of his wild TV show ideas.

A graduate from York County School of Technology, he's self-published several books on Amazon, and once won 1st place at a regional computer fair for a CGI animated short. Before transferring to TheBestWarGames in 2023, he worked as a Contributor and later Senior Writer at ScreenRant, where he covered Video Game News, Reviews, and Features.

He hopes that working for this site will continue his blossoming career of online writing, since Megazord technology hasn’t been invented yet and he doesn't seem to have any Force powers.

You can check out his work at The Uncanny Fox, purchase his books on Amazon.com, see his posted scripts on Script Revolution, or see his portfolio here or here. He can also be followed on Twitter @FoxUncanny.
