, graduating in 1999. While at ECU he began his first foray into the comics field with work on his creator owned humor comic strip "4 Seats Left". In late 2004 Latour and writer B. Clay Moore created the short lived series ''The Expatriate'' at Image Comics. In 2009, he was hired to illustrate the Vertigo Comics Crime Line graphic novel ''Noche Roja'' with Simon Oliver, to be published in 2011, and has since worked as an artist on titles such as the 2010 Marvel miniseries ''Daredevil: Black & White'', ''Wolverine'' (2010) and the critically acclaimed crime series ''Scalped'' (Vertigo 2010). In 2011 his creator owned long form writing debut, ''Loose Ends'' (with artist Chris Brunner), was published by 12 Gauge Comics. Latour's comic career came crashing to a halt in 2020 after multiple women came forward accusing him of misconduct and harassment, using his position in the comics industry as leverage to harass women through various means, including sexual assault. Their allegations were backed up by many industry figures who confirmed witnessing Latour engaging in such behavior; notably, no one bothered to speak up in his defense, and former collaborators swiftly severed ties with Latour while collaborative projects like Southern Bastards ended mid-narrative as a result. Latour's work has not been published by any major publisher since the allegations of his abusive behavior became public; Marvel Comics publicly announced having no intention to hire Latour again following his behavior being made public.https://www.cbr.com/report-marvel-comics-no-future-plans-jason-latour/
