Scott Snyder Teams Up With ComiXology Originals And Dark Horse In All New Multi-Title Comic Book Deal

The big news today must surely be the announcement that Scott Snyder and his Best Jackett Press has signed up to bring a number of new comic book series to comiXology Originals. A total of eight new books, with an array of some pretty impressive artists too; Rafael Albuquerque, Greg Capullo, Francesco Francavilla, Jamal Igle, Jock, Tula Lotay, Francis Manapul, and Dan Panosian. Some of the best in the biz! Furthermore, all titles will then be printed by Dark Horse Comics at a later date for old schoolers like me.

“This historic, multi-title deal with comiXology Originals has enabled us to assemble a murderers’ row of artists and together we’re challenging ourselves creatively to work outside of our comfort zones and really lean into the possibilities of making comics. This deal allows me the freedom to explore the kind of storytelling I’ve wanted to try for a long time, while supporting my need to try something that’s not totally comfortable for me.” – Scott Snyder

Here’s more on each new title, the artists involved on each one and a firts look at covers and art. All coming this October to comiXology Original sand free to read to members of Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited, and comiXology Unlimited.

That;s some line up of books and artists. It would seem that on top of delivering Undiscoverd Country and Nocterra, Snyder has been busy. Really busy. And also excited:

“One of the things I’m so excited about is experimenting to find new ways to build and nurture a community of readers. We want each release to be an event and we can’t wait for readers to see what we have planned, whether they’re reading via comiXology Unlimited, print, or both.” – Scott Snyder

And, as an Amazon Prime member, I personally cannot wait to see what he has to offer. Can you?
