Personal life
Will Pfeifer was born in 1967 in the town of Niles, Ohio. He attended Kent State University and graduated in 1989. He has resided in Rockford, Illinois since 1990, with his wife, Amy. Pfeifer, along with his comic writing duties, is the former assistant features editor at the Rockford Register Star. He also wrote a weekly DVD column for the Sunday paper during his time there.

Comics
Pfeifer got his break working with artist Jill Thompson on Vertigo's Finals miniseries.

Pfeifer wrote Catwoman for DC Comics until its cancellation, and temporarily took over for John Rogers on Blue Beetle. He also wrote the Amazons Attack! miniseries, and an issue of Wonder Woman. In July 2014, the Teen Titans was relaunched with a new issue 1 written by Pfeifer and art by Kenneth Rocafort.

Podcast
Pfeifer is a featured host on the Out of Theaters podcast, which launched in April 2015. The podcast leverages Pfeifer's extensive movie knowledge by introducing classic movies to his younger co-host. In September 2016, Pfeifer began co-hosting the Pictures Within Pictures podcast. The show spotlights a comic book series or original graphic novel, dissects it, and puts it into a digestible historical and narrative context. In October 2022, Pfeifer began co-hosting the Film Force 5 podcast discussing movies in various categories and ranking them into top 5 lists with co-hosts and guests.
