The Jones are the founders of Midnight Comics LLC. The two are married, passionate parents and creators who wanted to create stories that aren't afraid to take risks and characters that their children could see themselves in. They also wanted to create more characters that not only look like them, but to create scenarios that show that we are not a monolith. Today Llord Jones joins to share more on Grey, co-created with his wife Tosha. Toshi J is the writer and creator of Admani and the writer of The Grey. Toshi is a wife, mother of three, actress, writer, and business owner, as well as a Glyph award winning editor with Konkret Comics. The story of Shameka is an important. It gives us more Black women in the STEM field, while also being a fun sci-fi esc story that balances tone between serious and a bit more comical at times. We often see men in the comic space, not just as characters, but also as the creators. Not often is there a black woman in the room when these characters are created or even written. Not only is it important for these characters to exist, but it is also important that, like with Black characters in general we need Black people in the room, but that there are Black women in the room, or in charge of the room when telling stories about Black women.

People grow old, but stories never do, so I'm incredibly excited to be tackling this long-gestating project with a phenomenal artist like Gegê Schall and our editor, Marla Eizik, at Mad Cave Studios. This story is both a personal look back at the highs and lows of being a teenager and an exciting, and sometimes scary, thrill ride down into the center of Eastern Pennsylvania.

These two boys remind me so much of me and my friends when I was a kid, and I think I've been working on this book for that exact inner child that still exists in me. The emotional turmoil, the thirst for adventure, the family drama, the goofiness, it's all there. Plus the scary monsters, the cool locations, the wild characters...I'm so happy to have helped Chris in bringing Far Down Below to life, and if readers have half as much fun reading the book as I've had drawing it, I'll consider my job well accomplished." – Artist, Gegê Schall Far Down Below will be in stores March 26th at your favorite comic book store!
