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.

Super fun ufo and ghost lore to keep you wanting for more! The back issue, Clinton Road, was creepy! It was just like Weird NJ issues! 👻 boo haha

[Andy Hickman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an excellent summary of the UFO phenomenon in the USA. (Americans would benefit from research done in other countries by those who have first-hand experience with sighting a UFO).

#3- "Scattered across the dusty earth was what looked to be the debris from a crash of some sort."

The backup is like a Weird NJ story.

Roswell was the main story but it was odd, a newspaper clipping was from way in the future and the use of red for the red menace was disjunctive. The real star here was the second story illustrated by Jacob Phillips. Urban legends and his legendary art!
