About the Author
Scott Snyder is an American comic book writer with a prolific body of work in the DC Universe. His creator-owned horror series, American Vampire, garnered multiple Eisner Award wins upon its release. In the following years, his work garnered more acclaim as he took over the ongoing Batman series with artist Greg Capullo. James Tynion IV started in the comics business assisting Scott Snyder in writing backup stories for Snyder's groundbreaking Batman series. Tynion soon began writing Talon, a series that spun out of the hugely popular "Batman- The Court of Owls" story line. He has also written Batman, Detective Comics, Constantine- The Hellblazer, and Justice League Dark, and currently is at the helm of horror hits Nice House on the Lake, Something is Killing the Children, and The Department of Truth.
