About the author

Prior to his first professional work, Tynion was a student of Scott Snyder's at Sarah Lawrence College. A few years later, he worked as for Vertigo as Fables editor Shelly Bond's intern. In late 2011, with DC deciding to give Batman (written by Snyder) a back up feature, Tynion was brought in by request of Snyder to script the back ups he had plotted. Tynion would later do the same with the Batman Annual #1, which was also co-plotted by Snyder. Beginning in September 2012, with DC's 0 issue month for the New 52, Tynion will be writing Talon, with art by Guillem March. In early 2013 it was announced that he'd take over writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws in April.

Tynion is also currently one of the writers in a rotating team in the weekly Batman Eternal series.

Queer (including a trans guy), healthy male friendships and dudes having feelings, theater, and some supernatural magic fun and chaos. Beautiful, touching, fun. Brought tears to my eyes. That ending <3.

I put off reading this for a month after it arrived in my pull box at the comic store because I didn't want the run to be over. The final issue was so sweet, I loved it. Now to go back and reread the whole run from the start all over again!

I KNEW IT! Tommy and Elliot were a couple! I literally teared up when he erased him from the book. He must have missed him so much after he died that he drew him in the book. That’s so heartbreakingly sweet. Also, ahhhh! Bailey kissed Beckett’s cheek, so cute! I absolutely loved this, and I’m sad it’s over.

I love this series!!! I wish it was bigger so more could be explored in detail.
But even if it feels a bit rush, the art, the characters, the dynamics, the representation and the originality certainly make up for it!!

Overall, the backstagers has been an adorable comic. Great for teens who love theater, and some excellent LGBT representation. I felt like the conclusion to this first story arch fell a little flat, but it was cute.

The best one by far
