Webcomics

Soo drew comics on-and-off in school, and began taking his hobby more seriously when he attended university, where he drew several short stories and comic strips. Soo started posting webcomics in Q3 2002, as an affordable alternative to printing minicomics. Soo was inspired by figures such as

24 Hour Comic Day.[3]

Soo experimented much with the use of sound and music in webcomics in the early 2000s. He embedded

its accompanying song kicked in. Other times, such as for Snowstorm, the accompanying song is purely intended to convey and enhance the mood of the scene.[4]

Career

In 2004, Soo became interested in working on a long-form project, and doodles of the "girl hugging a grub-like monster"

Hyperion in 2008.[5]

Soo has had many collaborations and contributing works published. His work has been featured in the comic anthology Flight, and has acted as the anthology's assistant editor since Volume 2.[6] He has also worked as an assistant on the children's graphic novel series Amulet, by Kazu Kibuishi.[7]
