Ben Abernathy broke into comics as an Assistant Editor at Dark Horse Comics in Portland in 1998 before jumping to New York to work as Creative Services Coordinator at DC Comics the following year in 1999.
In 2000, he joined Marvel Comics in New York as Special Projects Manager for a year and change.
In 2002, he moved back to DC Comics as Group Editor of DC Comics Digital for an entire decade, from 2002 until 2012.
In 2012, he left DC to become co-founder and editor-in-chief of a new digital comics publisher, Madefire, with [[Liam Sharp]], including writing the series The Heroes Club and bringing DC Comics to the platform.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/ben-abernathy-leaves-dc-comics | title=Ben Abernathy Leaves DC Comics | date=23 August 2012 }}</ref> <ref>{{cite web | url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/ben-abernathy-joins-madefire | title=Ben Abernathy Joins Madefire | date=28 August 2012 }}</ref>
