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.

Of course this was great. It's a continuation of volume 9 where we see how Erica earns her teeth. It also sets up Erica's future since everyone thinks she's dead. And did I mention there's a new Dragon?

Read upon the release of each issue

This volume was truly excellent, even for someone like me, who have become a bit annoyed and impatient because of the amount of prequel stories. I cannot wait for the completion of the next arc.

And that last page almost broke my heart.

Seeing the history behind Cecilia and Erica was great (pending #50 issue release, might add to this).

[Patrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art is still excellent and the character arcs remain strong.

Love the backstory. I like bex as a character, can't wait to see more of her.
