Career
Career
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. It was later published through Chapterhouse Comics and went on for 17 issues before ending in 2019. The comic was lauded and called "quintessentially, unapologetically Canadian." In 2019, Loo and Chip Zdarsky teamed up to create Afterlift for ComiXology Originals, about a rideshare into Hell. Loo and Zdarsky previously knew each other when Loo was a college intern at Zdarsky's studio, the Royal Academy of Illustration and Design. 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. 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. 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. 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. It was also announced that Loo would write a four-issue Dazzler book for the X-Men: From the Ashes relaunch. In August 2024, Loo contributed to the Iron Fist 50th Anniversary Special, which featured several short stories commemorating the 50th anniversary of the titular character; Loo's story, which was the final entry, concluded with Danny Rand being killed off. In June 2025, it was announced that Loo would be writing the four issue limited series The Undead Iron Fist, which will feature the resurrection of Rand.
