Comic Book Club @ NYCC 2024: Scott Snyder On Arcbound, Absolute Batman, And The Return Of Vertigo

Scott Snyder is a busy guy. From writing the multiple-sold-out Absolute Batman to launching new titles through Comixlogy, to books through DSTLRY, to writing an animated adaptation of his book Wytches, to his work with Tom Hardy and Frank Tieri on Arcbound, the guy is everywhere. When Comic Book Club caught up with Snyder, he was on the roof of a hotel in Midtown Manhattan, having just wrapped up an extended breakfast hang with students for one of his other ventures, Our Best Jackett, where he teaches the intricate art of comic book writing.

While we were there to talk primarily about Arcbound, which is coming from Dark Horse Comics on November 13, and to Kickstarter for a Deluxe Edition at a later date, we had to ask Snyder -- whose comic career really blew up with the release of Vertigo's American Vampire -- what he thought of the return of DC's beloved label at New York Comic Con.

"I literally teared up," Snyder said. "It means everything. They're being really creator-friendly with their deals and everything. This whole All In initiative, everything about it is trying to be why it's so fun to love DC Comics all around and to invite everybody in on every level. This wasn't part of it that I organized. It was a long time coming from amazing people there, but to see it roll out at the same moment we're trying to do this very big comprehensive, 'Welcome to comics. Everybody's included. There's every kind of book. Everything starts here.' [It] feels great."

For much more from Snyder including the success of Absolute Batman, his deal with Comixology, and how Tom Hardy called him on his family vacation in Hawaii, listen in.
