After graduating, he moved to LA and eventually got a job working the equipment checkout cage at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. He became a producer for podcasts at Earwolf and then was hired for his first writing job at Craig of the Creek.[2]

Writing for the show She-Hulk: Attorney at Law got him into writing for Marvel and, in 2021, he did a backup story in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25,[3] before he was announced as one of the writers for the "Spider-Man: Beyond" arc (from Amazing Spider-Man vol. 5 #75 to #93), alongside Zeb Wells, Kelly Thompson, Saladin Ahmed, and Patrick Gleason.[4][5]

In January 2022, he and artist Justin Mason were announced to be the creative team for the new Spider-Punk mini-series[6] and in June, he wrote two issues of What If...? Miles Morales.[7] In September, it was announced that Ziglar and artist Federico Vicentini would relaunch Miles Morales: Spider-Man after the previous run by Saladin Ahmed ended.[8][9][10] In 2023, he co-wrote the Carnage Reigns crossover with Alex Paknadel[11] and, at San Diego Comic-Comic, it was announced he would write a part of the "Gang War" crossover that involved Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, and Daredevil.[12][13] In June 2024, he participated in the "Blood Hunt" crossover, where Miles was turned into a vampire.[14][15]

In 2024, he and Justin Mason reunited to do a sequel to their Spider-Punk comic, Spider-Punk: Arms Race.[16][17][18] It was also announced that Ziglar and artist Rogê Antônio would be the next creative team for the Deadpool relaunch in April of 2024.[19][20][21] The book involved Ellie, Deadpool's daughter, and the introduction of a new villain, Death Grip.[22] In June, the "Death of Deadpool" arc was announced[23][24] with Deadpool dying in issue #6 and Ellie taking over as the new Deadpool in issue #7.[25][26] In November, it was announced that Ziglar's Miles Morales and Deadpool comics would cross over with each other in a story called "Pools of Blood."[27][28] It was also announced that he would be one of the writers for the Free Comic Book Day: Amazing Spider-Man/Ultimate Universe issue.[29][30][31]
