Whenever I chat with Scott Snyder, we end up talking around the appeal of creator-owned comics. And for a big Batman and Justice League writer, this is still a thing, with Undiscovered Country, Wytches, and Nocterra as recent successes. Last year Image Comics was meant to launch a series of creator-owned imprint, but the pandemic and issues with creators got in the way. But the concept has legs and IGN have just run the news that Snyder and his Best Jackett Press is making his comiXology Originals debut, with eight new comics drawn by Rafael Albuquerque, Greg Capullo, Francesco Francavilla, Jamal Igle, Jock, Tula Lotay, Francis Manapul, and Dan Panosian. And rather than Image Comics, the books launching in October, will go to print from Dark Horse, publishers of Hellboy and Black Hammer. Looks like Dark Horse is about to step up to Image, Boom, and Vault over this sort of thing.
