About Scott Snyder
I write comic books! Growing up, I always wanted to write comics, but I ended up trying my hand at fiction first. I got my MFA from Columbia University, published a book of short stories with The Dial Press in 2006 called Voodoo Heart, then finally broke into comics in 2009 and haven't looked back since. I've worked extensively for DC Comics, writing such titles as Batman, Detective Comics, Justice League, the comic event books DC Dark Knights Metal and Death Metal, and Swamp Thing, among others. I've also created a number of series with some great co-creators and partners -- books like We Have Demons, Clear, Night of the Ghoul, Nocterra, American Vampire, Wytches, the Wake, AD: After Death, and more... I live in NY with my wife, Jeanie and our three boys. I am also a big fan of Elvis Presley.

Blog postHey guys, it’s Scott.
I wanted to make a quick video before we leave for Ireland tomorrow. We're going to Dublin Comic Con on Saturday, it’s sold out. If you're there, come by and say hi! If you see me in Dublin or Galway walking with my kid and my wife, make me look cool in front of them, come say hello and give me a chance to say thanks. Sorry I've been quiet, I'm kind of recovering from San Diego (no COVID, thank God) and then getting ready for Ireland. But I wanted to make this vid6 days ago Read more -

Blog postHey, guys, it's Scott.
And as you can tell from my voice, I am just back from San Diego and I wanted to do a bigger post. I really wanted to do something where I kind of took you with me and posted throughout the day, but it's just impossible. I thought I could do it, but Tyler and I both really hunkered down and made an effort and it was just too much. I'm really sorry, but I'm gonna have Ty post some of my schedule here. Not just the public facing schedule, but a little bit of the pr1 week ago Read more -

I'm having a total blast here in San Diego, and I've already had the chance to talk to a bunch of you on the floor and at the INCREDIBLE fan dinner you all helped make happen.

Hey guys, it's Scott.
It's Tuesday, July 12, the week before San Diego Comic Con, the first in San Diego since 2019, so you can feel the anxiety and excitement, I think, all across the comic world. I'm going to be there from Tuesday through early Sunday, so there are plenty of chances to come say hi if you're going, and if you're a paid subscriber, you'll have opportunities to skip the main line and have you3 weeks ago Read more -

So I wanted to focus in a little bit more on craft to…

Blog postHey, guys, it's Scott.
It's Wednesday, July 6, and we have so much going on over here at Best Jackett in the next couple of weeks, so I just wanted to give you a quick primer.

Blog postHey guys, it's Scott.
You're gonna have to forgive the noise, I apologize. I'm literally in the Seattle-Tacoma Airport trying to get home with my family after being stuck in Seattle for a few days. We had a great time, we did the Space Needle and we went to MoPOP on the extra day, the Museum of Pop Culture. The kids loved it, there was a visual history o…

Blog postHey guys, it's Scott.
You're gonna have to forgive the noise. I am officially stuck in Seattle. Our flight has been canceled twice on the way back from our vacation, so we're desperately scrambling to try and get these little monsters home. This is the second day in a row we're caught in this hotel and terrible maelstrom of cancellations of flights and all of that stuff, so it’s our payback for taking such a long vacation. But the kids are happy, we’re taking them to the Space Needle a1 month ago Read more -
Blog postHey guys, it's Scott.
It's Thursday, and I'm still away on vacation. Like I said, it's a big extended family vacation, so it's kind of like 60% vacation 40% work stress with the kids. People say it's like herding cats, but it's more like herding little evil clowns that, like, honk their nose and laugh at you and squirt you in the face when you try and gr…

Hey guys, it's Scott.
It's Tuesday, June 21. I am away on vacation with my family in Hawaii, which is amazing. Big news—this week, the finale of our second arc on Nocterra comes out, Nocterra #11. It has one of the biggest twists of the series, something we've been building to for a while. A couple twists, actually. I think it's one of our strongest ones. I re2 months ago Read more -

Blog postHey guys, Scott.
It's Friday, June 10 and I am tired. I went out with friends last night, and that is the topic of today's post—not just my timeout with friends, but friends in comics.
It's something that I almost wanted to bring up as a class at one point. I know it sounds like a really squishy topic, but it's actually something that I think has a lot of…

It is Wednesday, June 8, and I'm getting so excited for our class next week that we will do from 4th World Comics on all the kinds of mistakes you don't want to make in comics, so it should be fun! I'll try and invite some guests to also tell horror stories and so on. But we’ll take a lot of your questions about things that you might do wrong, things that you are worried have different etiquette than you might know within comics, industry foibles, like all kinds o2 months ago Read more -

For years, Batman has been tracking a mystery. He's quietly been pulling a thread, conducting research in secret laboratories across the globe and stowing evidence deep in the Batcave, hidden even from his closest allies. Now, in an epic story spanning generations, the heroes and villains of the DC Universe, including Green Lantern, The Joker, Wonder Woman and more, are about to find out what he's discovered—and it could threaten the very existence of the Multiverse!

Journey into an unknown region that was once the United States of America—a land that's become shrouded in mystery and literally walled off from the rest of the world for well over a century. Two small expeditions enter the former US simultaneously—one from the east, one from the west—and travel inward, each seeking their own form of truth as they struggle to survive in this strange and deadly lost continent!

After a series of brutal murders rocks Gotham City, Batman begins to realize that perhaps these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime?
