With entertainment companies digging deep into their pre-existing genre catalogs and also buying up new chunks of IP, many of the original creators of the source material that’s adapted into big-budget films and series have seen their ideas take off without them.

Today, Amazon and Snyder announced the formation of Best Jackett Press, a new ComiXology imprint that will begin publishing a number of graphic novels penned by Snyder and illustrated by multiple artists. While other studios have carved out similar deals with creators—like Netflix’s partnership with Mark Millar—Snyder’s new deal with Amazon has a particular emphasis on its creative team retaining the rights to the work they create under the Best Jackett Press brand.
