Jason is one of my favorite storytellers working in comics today.
His drawings are incredibly iconic, which is obvious at a quick
glance. I would say that his writing, too, is iconic. His stories are so
perfectly designed. Structured. Almost diagrammatic. Playing off of all
of the troupes of any genre he decides to work in while maintaining a
novel quality to them at the same time. They’re very familiar, yet
something entirely new. I feel as though he approaches writing in the
same manner that I attempt to it but there’s something I’m missing.
Something I don’t quite understand. Every time I sit down and read one
of his stories I get closer to it but am never quite able to grasp what
that is that I’m lacking. Reading his stories are such an exhilarating
and frustrating mess of excitement for me. Highly recommended.

I just got a bunch of Jason comics out of the library recently. "Hey, Wait..." was one of the most gorgeously sad comics I have ever read.
