Hello, our names are Jason and Stacey, Melt Blog’s newest contributers

By day, Jason Vaughn is a professional screenplay writer and Stacey Levin is a television studio executive.  But by night, this dynamic duo roams the streets of Los Angeles as caped crusaders fighting crime and saving the world from arch villains and masterminds.  And in between their multiple vocations, they travel faster than speeding bullets?  Demonstrate more power than a locomotive?  They leap tall buildings in a single bound?  The answer is no, they now blog for Meltdown Comics!

Ok, so maybe dynamic duo is pushing it because they’re still working on our super powers, but the stuff about professional writing and TV exec is actually true.  And, they’re currently working on our own graphic novel which will hopefully be hitting these very shelves at Meltdown very soon.  But the number one fact they haven’t told you yet is that they love comics.

Jason started reading and collecting comics at the tender age of nine and still has almost every issue sitting in his mother’s attic back home.  A true connoisseur of every genre, his favorites range from all things tights-n-flights to mythical crime dramas and everything in between.  There isn’t a character he doesn’t know, a death and resurrection he hasn’t read or a screen adaptation he hasn’t seen.

Stacey is new to the world of comics, but not new to the genre worlds they’re based on.  Since meeting Jason, she has quickly acquired her own cardboard boxed collections of Why, Batman Detective, Spiderman and multiple other titles.  But prior to this, she was the publicist for such comic world favorites as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly, and most recently worked as Joss Whedon’s exec on Dollhouse.  Little did she know that all of those years of working with Joss, Jane Espenson and Amber Benson would lead to writing her own blog for Meltdown Comics.

So that’s Jason and Stacey in a nutshell and this is their first blog for the website.  They hope you enjoy it and will join them each week as they contribute to the site and work on their own superpowers.  You know, be faster than a first printing sell-out, more powerful than a hostile studio take over, and able to leap short deadlines in a single bound, of course!
