Why Nocterra Launches Scott Snyder's New Creator-Owned Imprint
Scott Snyder revealed why Nocterra is its inaugural title of his newly launched creator-owned publishing imprint Best Jackett Press.
After a decade of writing high-profile titles at DC, award-winning comic book creator Scott Snyder is turning his attention back to creator-owned projects through his new publishing imprint Best Jackett Press.
Launching the imprint is Nocterra, co-created with artist Tony S. Daniel and showcasing a world plunged in eternal darkness. Snyder hinted that Nocterra comes ahead of at least eight additional projects slated for announcement this spring.
"The reason I wanted to put this one out first is because it embraces all the things that I love to do. All the other books in Best Jackett -- we're probably going to announce eight or nine of them around late spring all together -- they're all in different stages of productions but they're all well on their way right now," Snyder told CBR. "Some of them you're aware of: There's a book with Francesco Francavilla, one with Francis Manapul, one with Tula Lotay. I'm going to do a whole expo to show everything that we've been working on in the past year at one time."
For Snyder, Nocterra's premise felt right within his creative wheelhouse, balancing the blockbuster superhero action he previously crafted to great success for DC -- culminating in the recently concluded crossover event Dark Nights: Death Metal -- with his previous, more personally intimate stories he wrote for Image Comics and Vertigo.
"The reason I felt Nocterra was the right one to go out with is it goes right up the middle -- no pun intended -- in the way that it's meant to be something that embraces my love of big, bombastic storytelling the way I love to do with DC on superhero books," Snyder continued. "It's also personal the way Wytches was. It's about the darkness that separates all of us and makes us unrecognizable to each other at this particular moment and the need to overcome that with connection. It's kind of a book that hits all the bases, like American Vampire, to me where it has all these elements that I love to write about all in one place whereas some of the other books in Best Jackett are part of the fun of challenging myself that are less-of-center for the way that I'm most comfortable writing."
Nocterra #1, by Scott Snyder and Tony S. Daniel, goes on sale March 3 from Image Comics.
