Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time.Scott Snyder has been a heavy hitter in the comic book world basically since he first arrived on the scene with Vertigo's American Vampire, and just took off from there, basically taking ownership of the Batman franchise for years. Josh and Scott talk about that start in comics, and then why he returned to Mr. Wayne with Absolute Batman today, not to mention a slew of creator owned, all original stories like Dark Spaces: Wildfire, and Dungeon, Barnstormers, Clear, and on and on. Scott also fearlessly talks about his struggles personally and professionally over those years.
