Watters's first creator-owned comic was the six-issue comic Limbo, which he made with artist Caspar Wijngaard and was published in 2015-2016 through Image Comics. ComicsAlliance described the book as "Lovecraft meets Cronenberg as Innsmouth and Videodrome collide in an explosion of magic, myth, jazz and Kafka."[1] Watters and Wijngaard continued working together, doing stories for Dark Souls and Assassin's Creed for Titan Comics.[2] Watters then worked with Alex Paknadel to do a comic adaptation of Little Nightmares[3] before working on The Shadow with Si Spurrier and Wolfenstein.[4][5]
