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.

(B) 73% | More than Satisfactory
Notes: Gets complicated, hard to rate it, story's so accelerated, scheming, baiting, orchestrating, too much stated/implicated.

*Progress update

Have the last issue of this arc at a lower rating because a lot was packed into it, and things were difficult to figure out as a result. I know for sure that certain characters died but the specific events of how they died, along with the seemingly larger plot behind everything was all confusing to process. I wish that the events in this issue were split into 2 or even 3 additional issues for the arc itself due to how much happened in this single comic.
Overall though, I did deeply enjoy learning about Jace Boucher and reading about his journey.

What the actual fuck. Jace dies and we don’t even get to see it? Was that kid really something worth dying for? Also there are a lot of errors in the panels around the fireplace before Cassius is killed.
