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.

I accidentally picked up the number 2 Dracula Boy variant cover thinking it was a number 1. When I read it I fell in love with it.

Not sure if the bounty hunter's name or title is Helslinger, but can we keep him???? I always forget how creepy Johannes is and this guy sent Johannes running home. And the cross on the end of a chain whip??? Please let it be okay for me to maybe love this guy already.

Quick run through the issue highlights:

Christopher, lol. That was the best excuse you could come up with? In the shed??? LMAO.

Luke, what exactly are your intentions toward Jordi? I want to ship it, but I can't trust you and Christopher does have feelings for Jordi so I should root for them, but if Luka's actions toward Jordi are sincere I could really love them together.

Adam's back! YAY!!!!

Dr. Jekyll wouldn't have an awesome bounty hunter on his trail unless he was sus, but I need to know what happened between them that has Adam all aggro.

And Christopher? You ok, buddy?
