Jason Loftus first met comics artist and publisher Daxiong in 2016. Loftus’ digital media company Lofty Sky Entertainment was working on a video game, and they needed an illustrator to create the game’s visual novel components. Because of his background in drawing different Justice League and Star Wars comic book series, Daxiong was the perfect fit.

Released in 1994, the American comedy-drama film Forrest Gump was directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Eric Roth.

Spanning over several decades, the plot focuses on the slow-witted but kind-hearted Alabama man Forrest Gump, who unwittingly influences major American historical events....
