Aza Comics releases The Keepers: Origins, the first digital novel about its new universe of female superheroes. “It’s very exciting,” says CEO, Jazmin Truesdale. “I really want to get more women into this genre. That’s why I created the book the way that I did.”
A Janet Jackson superhero? We all saw this coming. It’s no secret that Aza Comics’ CEO is a Janet Jackson STAN (just check out her instagram @jaztruesdale) but surprisingly creating a character with personality elements of her favorite entertainer was the last thing on her mind. “My mother gave me the idea,” Truesdale laughs. “Originally, Thema was inspired by my own mother and then one day I was telling her about the character and she says ‘right, so when you do the movie and Janet Jackson is fighting Kiran in a catsuit…’ that’s when it clicked for me.”
Aza Comics Creator and CEO, Jazmin Truesdale, sits down for a Q&A to explain what her new superhero universe is all about.
Do you make comics or novels?
I make both. I write novels where the action scenes are illustrated like a comic book.
