Career
Summarize
Perspective
In 2014, Loo wrote, drew, and crowdfunded his own book, The Pitiful Human-Lizard, about a Toronto-based superhero who struggles with his life and work as an office clerk.[5][6] It was later published through Chapterhouse Comics and went on for 17 issues before ending in 2019.[7] The comic was lauded and called "quintessentially, unapologetically Canadian."[8]
In 2019, Loo and Chip Zdarsky teamed up to create Afterlift for ComiXology Originals, about a rideshare into Hell.[9][10] Loo and Zdarsky previously knew each other when Loo was a college intern at Zdarsky's studio, the Royal Academy of Illustration and Design.[11][12]
In 2021, a fan comic that Loo had done in 2017 starring Multiple Man caught the eye of Marvel editor Tom Brevoort and Loo was hired to do a backup comic about the Multiple Man in X-Corp #3.[13] That same year, Loo and Zdarsky teamed up to do another ComiXology Original called The All-Nighter about a vampire who decides to become a superhero.[14][15]
In 2023, it was announced that he would be writing a new four-issue Sentry mini-series about the various characters who inherit the Sentry's powers after his death.[16] The next year, he was announced as the writer for the one-shot Blood Hunt: Werewolf by Night and subsequent Werewolf by Night series, which would be a part of Marvel's more R-rated "Red Band" comics.[17][18][19] It was also announced that Loo would write a four-issue Dazzler book for the X-Men: From the Ashes relaunch.[20][21][22]
Personal life
Loo is lives and works in Toronto.[23] He was born in Brampton, Ontario, grew up in Mississauga, and went to Sheridan College.[12]
