Eisner-nominated creator Jordan Morris talks about his latest release, Youth Group, this week in Episode #650! Jordan is known for his previous book, Bubble and Youth Group, which is now available from First Second Comics at your local bookstore and comics shop! This new book is described this way: “When Kay reluctantly agreed to join the youth group at Stone Mission Church in Orange County, California, she expected the Jesus talk and the dorky singalongs and the colorful posters about dodging temptation. What she didn’t expect was to stumble on her youth group leaders, Meg and Cortland, in the middle of a real-deal exorcism. Turns out they’re both soldiers in a secret organization of demon hunters in a war that’s heating up, and even if Kay wanted to stay on the sidelines, she doesn’t have a choice. YOUTH GROUP mixes humor, horror, and heart to tell a story about putting aside your differences to give evil the beatdown it deserves.” We discuss how this story came to be, who the characters are, and the fact that you can catch up with Jordan at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con (he shares those details during our conversation).
