Scott Snyder, arguably DC’s most influential comedian of the last decade, has promised something of a shift in focus in his career when his current DC magnum opus Dark Nights: Death Metal is completed in January. Will that focus include a new project with artist Tony S. Daniel?
Both makers recently changed the icons of them Twitter accounts to the same image, an image of a ring suggesting a solar eclipse but otherwise not making public comments about the corresponding images.
“I do not let superheroes leave, but I need to start working on more of my own stuff,” Snyder recently told Newsarama. “I still do things at DC, but definitely not that much. I want to give other people a chance with the big game at DC. And to be perfectly honest, there’s a lot I want to do outside of superhero comics. “
Snyder’s last exclusive contract with DC ended in 2019, and he is looking more for work from creators such as his recently launched Image series Undiscovered Country.
Snyder also talked about an owner’s project with his ‘Batman: Black Mirror’ co-star Francesco Francavilla and pleaded with Jock for a return to Wytches.
Snyder cited Rafael Albuquerque, Greg Capullo, Becky Cloonan, and “some other people from my time at DC” as other artists he plans to work with in this new phase of his career.
While Snyder and Daniel did not seem to have a professional credit as writers and artists, Daniel Snyder succeeded in writing Detective Comics in 2011 and the two works together on the Batman: Night of the Owls crossover in 2012 when Snyder was writing Batman and Daniel Detective.
