I’m joined by a new guest on the show hanging out with me today, Jason Loo. Jason is a Toronto based Eisner Award winner and a Harvey Award nominee with credits on both sides of the isle as an artist and a writer with creator owned projects The Pitiful Human-Lizard, Afterlift, and The All Nighter and although he’s no newcomer to Marvel, he is tackling not one but two series out this fall with Werewolf By Night and the Dazzler mini-series creating a new soundtrack for everyone’s favorite disco queen which will be a part of the From the Ashes storyline redefining the X-Universe post Krakoa. These couldn't be farther apart tonally. Jason wrote new songs for Marvel's beloved disco queen and this version of the character is inspired by Taylor Swift, who knows if she'll have an NFL boyfriend, and Werewolf by Night breaks new ground in Marvel's 50 plus years of storytelling launching their new Red Band formatting, a Parental Advisory designation promising more blood and violence than ever before.
