“I think a lot of big companies are cutting rates and becoming more corporate. “It’s a tumultuous time in comics,” says Snyder. Snyder speaks positively about his DC relationships and says he’d like to do more there, while acknowledging the schedule of putting out a monthly title with a big publisher can be grueling. Snyder’s ComiXology deal comes at a time when conversations about creator compensation are spilling out into the public arena, particularly when it comes to film and TV adaptations. But for ComiXology’s $5.99 monthly subscription, readers could check out the books before deciding if they wanted the collectible version in print. “I started to think about the affordability of it,” says Snyder, who acknowledges that during the pandemic, buying monthly comics might be a luxury that fans can’t afford. When the coronavirus pandemic hit, it expedited his desire to get them out there - and to do so in a creative way that would give readers more options while still getting titles to comic shops struggling to stay afloat during a seismic shift for the industry. Snyder has been dreaming up these projects for years. The titles will begin rolling out in October, with some expected to be graphic novels and others with the potential to be ongoing comic series. Snyder is also co-creating titles with artists including Rafael Albuquerque, Francesco Francavilla, Jamal Igle, Jock, Tula Lotay, Francis Manapul and Dan Panosian.
