Wytches Get Blood-Curdling

Scott Snyder and Jock need absolutely no introduction whatsoever. The two of them know what they're doing and have made quite the names for themselves in doing it. So why wouldn't the two of them team up for a new book at Image called Wytches?

“It’s great to finally have Scott Snyder back at Image,” said Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. “We loved working with Scott on SEVERED, and he has only gotten better since then, so it’s really wonderful that he’s teaming up with Jock on what is without a doubt one of the creepiest books we have ever published.”

Wytches takes the mythology of witches to a far creepier, bone-chilling place than readers have dared venture before. “I like taking classic monsters and reimagining them in a fresh, contemporary, and much scarier way,” said Snyder, who previously worked together with Jock on the Batman story “The Black Mirror” in the pages of Detective Comics and Snyder knew from the get-go that he wanted Jock on board.
