The Backstagers uncover a bigger group of outsiders living inside the magical backstage universe, and an offer is put on the table for them to leave their real world forever.
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.

Poor boys, but at least some of them are together again. My heart broke when I saw Hunter and Jory cry because they weren’t allowed to spend time together. Also, Kevin kind of deserved meeting the Polaroid ghost guy. That’s all I’m saying to that. I’m guessing Mr. Rample and Polaroid had something going on. Like, what do you mean you called his monkey sounding laugh cute? I’m smelling fated lovers!

Another great issue! Things are moving so fast, though! After their disappearance, everything's changed for our backstagers back in the real world. Will they be able to save it? And what is Polaroid's objective?
This issue broke my heart a little, especially with it being the second to last issue we're ever going to get.
Jory and the Backstagers being gone for two months is a huge thing, and I feel as though it is being trivialised just a little. They're all banned from seeing each other, but they still do (typical teenagers right). Jory and Hunter no longer being together and crying about it in the library genuinely made me really upset because I've been rooting for them from the start. Sasha playing football was also a super cute panel, and I wish we got to see more of him this issue.
Maybe I'm just not used to reading all ages comics. Anything bad that gets thrown at the Backstagers seems to be resolved in the same issue, or the next one. Anything done for dramatic purposes never seems to last long and it all turns out okay. It's either the comic's intended audience or the fact that we've only got eight issues, but exploration of any themes raised doesn't tend to happen or have enough depth for me.
I still like this comic, I really do, but something feels a little lacking for me.
