During San Diego Comic-Con 2024, singer and songwriter Jason Derulo discussed his latest project, a graphic novel called Uzo, with Fandom.
Uzo takes place in a dystopian world where there are only seven cities left on Earth. Stones from a meteor crashed into Earth and left behind powerful energy signatures that power the cities. With the world falling apart, money is useless, but these stones are valuable. The world has descended into a war to protect and retain these precious stones.
Uzo, the main character of the series, is a humble warrior who harnesses the power of the stones to become a superhero. Derulo tells us Uzo began as a musical but eventually morphed into a written and illustrated graphic novel.
“Uzo definitely has a lot of similarities to me. I love to have a good time. I love to laugh. And I have a very serious side as well,” Derulo says. “People don’t quite know all the layers of me.”
