  • What’s on your reading list?

    I signed up for Marvel Unlimited and so far I am pleasantly surprised.  Marvel-UnlimitedI’ve been able to discover many of the comics that I wanted to read as a kid, but never had access.  It was fun finding old issues of Thor or Fantastic Four that I read as a kid, and re-reading those stories now.  And the art!  I’m seeing so much new (to me) Jack Kirby art that I have started on a Kirby styled Suzi.  I’m thinking it’s going to be a fun wallpaper scene.

    What were your favorite comics as a kid?  What about now?  Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Rat Queens, and Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat! have been very fun books to read, and I love the art styles.  Share your faves, and help a guy find some new great stories!

  • We stand with Brussels!

    Brussels, we stand with you. Tyranny and oppression are the tools of the cowards who fear the future and what it holds for mankind. Today we stand with the people of Belgium, and mourn the loss of so many innocent lives. We will show the cowards that traffic in terror and death that good people will not bow to them.

    To all our friends in Belgium, our hearts break for you today. But make no mistake, no one believes for a second that the Belgians are scared or broken. A storm is coming, and it will bring a terrible wrath for those who plot in darkness. We all rest assured that the Belgian people will continue to stand as a champion of liberty!

  • Suzi Radio Drama?

    When I was young, my Dad had a bluegrass radio show in Dallas, and so every Saturday afternoon, my little brother and I would load up the family station wagon with a select mix of my Dad’s personal music collection and we were off to the big city.  I loved visiting the radio station, and on Saturday nights, it was pretty empty.  My brother and I got to know the radio station and it’s sister TV station across the alley very well.

    Suzi Quazar on the air?

    My Dad kept a nice audio studio upstairs at our house, so we were exposed to audio engineering at an early age.  We would create our own radio adventures on tape, then laugh as we played them back with sound effects added.

    I would like to do something similar with Suzi, and hire a voice actress to read the script, then I would take it and add the music and effects, narration and all that jazz.  I think it would be a lot of fun,  and would give me a chance to include a lot of story material that didn’t make it in the comic.

    That sound like anything you guys would want to hear?

  • International Women’s Day

    We here at Suzi Quazar proudly support and recognize all the unsung heroines who have battled to make the world a more equal place for women.  Take a moment to think about what you can do for gender parity and visit The International Women’s Day page for more history and ideas on how to start making the world equal for everyone!

  • Production notes

    I am working up the publishing schedule for the remaining books in the Suzi series.  There are 10 issues in this current story arc, and after speaking with the wife/publisher/letterer, I’m going to finish the remaining 6 books this year.  Now that Suzi has my full focus again, it’s time to get her story finished.

  • Sunday Science: Gravity baby

    As we resume our Sunday Science column, I’m excited to share this next link with you. We are finally able to detect gravity waves. Why is this a big deal? Well, keep in mind that microwaves were discovered in 1946, but it took 21 years to develop an affordable way for us to use microwave ovens in our kitchens.
    My instincts tell me that this is a monumental moment in science, but it could be a bit before we can really wrap our heads around the scope that gravity waves can do for us.

    Evan Gough over at UniverseToday.com breaks down this amazing find for you.

  • Twice a week updates!

    Making comics (which you can read for free on Kindle, btw) has been a blast, and I am looking forward to the fun we will have along this crazy adventure! I’m getting back to a twice a week updates on Tuesday and Thursday. It’s feels good to get back to the fun of Suzi. All work and no play makes Jason a dull boy.

  • And now back…

    hey-thereto our regularly scheduled programming!  Suzi kicks off again on March 1st and I am so happy to be back working with my favorite azure tressed heroine.  After taking time to deal with life, I am ready to get back to our story.  I have had plenty of time to reflect where the story was going, and where my weak spots are.  Amazing what taking a step back will reveal when you look at the sum of your art.

    Good times ahead!

  • Sorry for the missed pages!

    I’ve been slammed with work, and had a last second commission job come in that I just couldn’t turn down.  The good thing is that this job will help us upgrade everything about Suzi, so bear with me, it’s going to pay off nicely!

  • Happy 2nd Birthday!

    Suzi turns 2 today.  It’s hard to believe we are already on issue 4!  We have come such a long way.  When Suzi was first created, she was a digital doodle, a cutout for testing lighting and style. She has grown into so much more, a fully realized character.  It’s been a wild ride so far, but the best is yet to come!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
