Scott Snyder is a busy guy. From writing the multiple-sold-out Absolute Batman to launching new titles through Comixlogy, to books through DSTLRY, to writing an animated adaptation of his book Wytches, to his work with Tom Hardy and Frank Tieri on Arcbound, the guy is everywhere. When Comic Book Club caught up with Snyder, he was on the roof of a hotel in Midtown Manhattan, having just wrapped up an extended breakfast hang with students for one of his other ventures, Our Best Jackett, where he teaches the intricate art of comic book writing.

While we were there to talk primarily about Arcbound, which is coming from Dark Horse Comics on November 13, and to Kickstarter for a Deluxe Edition at a later date, we had to ask Snyder -- whose comic career really blew up with the release of Vertigo's American Vampire -- what he thought of the return of DC's beloved label at New York Comic Con.

"I literally teared up," Snyder said. "It means everything. They're being really creator-friendly with their deals and everything. This whole All In initiative, everything about it is trying to be why it's so fun to love DC Comics all around and to invite everybody in on every level. This wasn't part of it that I organized. It was a long time coming from amazing people there, but to see it roll out at the same moment we're trying to do this very big comprehensive, 'Welcome to comics. Everybody's included. There's every kind of book. Everything starts here.' [It] feels great."

For much more from Snyder including the success of Absolute Batman, his deal with Comixology, and how Tom Hardy called him on his family vacation in Hawaii, listen in.

IDW's Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is an enormous hit. Not only did the recently released trade of the "cozy horror" series hit number two on ICv2's sales charts, just below Marvel's monster hit Ultimate Spider-Man, but every issue of the initial series sold better than the last. And as just announced by IDW at New York Comic Con, not only is Beneath the Trees getting a sequel series titled Rite of Spring, but the publisher is essentially building a whole horror line around it called IDW Dark.

In Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, we meet Samantha, a normal bear living a normal life in a normal town. Except when she goes out of town, she uses the opportunity to unwind and brutally murder unsuspecting fellow animals. That is until another murderer appears in her hometown, unraveling her whole life.

While Horvath couldn't spill all the details about Rite of Spring, he is able to tease that we'll jump forward in time... If the first series was ostensibly set in the '80s, this is set in the '90s. And yes, the "Rite of Spring" title is purposeful on many levels. Not only will the setting be different, but the format will also be different. Instead of six issues, Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring will run three double-sized issues. So the same page count, but a different release schedule.

In advance of the announcement, Comic Book Club sat down with Horvath in Artist Alley to discuss the success of Beneath the Trees, what to expect from the sequel, and much more.
