#54 – Tom Taylor – The Deep

September 25, 2017

Art Eddy and Zach Rosenberg bring on New York Times Best Selling Writer, Tom Taylor to talk about his animated series called The Deep, fatherhood, comic books and more!
The Deep follows the Nekton family--a brilliant team of underwater explorers. With state-of-the-art technology and an unquenchable thirst for discovery, the Nektons explore the mysterious depths of the ocean, where most of our world lies unexplored and unexplained. While others look up to the stars, this family knows that an infinite number of things shine brightly in the darkness below. The Deep is a place where leviathans swim through sunken cities, where pirates lurk amidst floating black markets, and where a mysterious group of Guardians hide long lost secrets.
The fan-favorite series features the recognizable voice talents of Ashleigh Ball (Rainbow Dash, My Little Pony: The Movie), Vincent Tong (Kai, Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu), Kathleen Barr (Misako, Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu) and Michael Dobson (Bulk Biceps, My Little Pony: The Movie).
The Deep is adapted from the Aurealis Award-winning graphic novel series by #1 New York Times bestselling writer Tom Taylor (Injustice 2, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Earth 2, Superior Iron Man, Star Wars: Blood Ties), and illustrated by James Brouwer (Justice League Beyond).
