  • "I managed to cheat the first two panels by using an...image built up from a bunch of photos that I took. So, while there is no drawing in there, it is still a piece of Photoshop artwork."

  • Jason said he received a lot of criticism for drawing a teenager who looked old. "I'm trying to draw a young, withered person and that (to me) ends up kinda looking like an older person. Given that he was never mentioned to be a teenager in the actual story, I'm not too stressed about it."

  • "I really like the dynamic colour scheme from panel three. The moonlight and the lighting make for an interesting palette. I do regret not putting more medical equipment in the room, though."

  • "I realised that the stage I spent the least time on was the most important. What I mean is the layouts. That little sketch up there is where I do all my careful planning of the story to come."

  • Jason feels that Blackout, Part 2 was much more clear and concise, and a lot less confusing than Blackout, Part 1. He credits this to more time planning his work.

  • "The only thing I would have changed, in retrospect, is panel is two of this page. I feel that the patient's drama is a little bit too high. In retrospect, I would have drawn something quieter, more introspective. Perhaps a little bit more angsty than angry."

  • "The Primatech paper salesman is just that: a generic Primatech salesman. He is not anyone that I know of. I just invented his look for the story. I did steal the logo from the official site, though."

  • "I really like my likeness of Mohinder on panel five. I think it's a good piece of performance."

  • "In retrospect my homage to Tim Sale's classic Sylar hunting Claire painting is probably my favourite Easter Egg and after the baby Nathan playing with the aeroplane and Angel."
