After launching his own publishing imprint Best Jackett Press, spearheaded by the bestselling comic book series Nocterra with co-creator Tony S. Daniel, Scott Snyder has unveiled the next wave of Best Jackett titles along with a massive publishing deal.
The next eight Best Jackett titles will be published digitally through comiXology Originals before eventually being published in print by Dark Horse Comics, with the digital comics at no additional cost for Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited and comiXology Unlimited subscribers. The print format will vary between titles, ranging from single issue and trade paperbacks to original graphic novels, with the digital release for the wave of upcoming titles planned to begin this October. Best Jackett has also offered a first look at the eight titles, including an all-star list of co-creators joining Snyder on each book.

"This historic, multi-title deal with ComiXology Originals has enabled us to assemble a murderers’ row of artists and together we’re challenging ourselves creatively to work outside of our comfort zones and really lean into the possibilities of making comics," Snyder explained. "This deal allows me the freedom to explore the kind of storytelling I've wanted to try for a long time, while supporting my need to try something that’s not totally comfortable for me."
"Massive in scope and creative range, these comics embrace all the things you love about Scott Snyder as a writer, while offering stories that are unexpected and new," comiXology Head of Content Chip Mosher said. "Teamed with the best artists in the business, these creator-owned comics range from horror and sci-fi to historical fiction, there’s truly something for everyone."
