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.

Reviews

Read as single issues

[Chr*s Browning]

Continues to be an entertaining read month to month, but it's so action-focused that very little seems to happen in each issue beyond a slowly moving needle. Doesn't help that it's proving to be an everyone dies downer of a story and the authors pulled in to script alongside Tynion don't meet the same standard. Still, the premise is fun enough so I'll read it through issue 12 at least.

Read these in issue format 4-8, which is probably better honestly. The story is not original or interesting so far. Basically it’s a bunch of rich people killing poor people for entertainment. Kinda sounds like normal life.

2.9 ✨

Holy shit, the ending of issue #8 was absolutely exquisite. And that twist -- Very well done.

entretiene, y con una vuelta de trama no esperada

[Wannia · Rating 4 out of 5]

nowhere near as good as the first one but still fun and makes you excited to pick up the next volume.

I had to wait way too long for my library to get issue 8 so here we are a month later :/ (obv read in singles)

[Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read in individual issues. Bloody, yet compulsively readable.

[Keegan Schueler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great continuing the story and really ramping things up to the max. The final showdowns are gonna be awesome.

[Christina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my thing, I can’t really take this premise seriously and I’m not invested in the outcome.

*** counted this for Vol. 8 of Exquisite Corpses. Love this author’s dark, gritty, character-driven stuff always featuring good queer characters!!
