My Take
Scott Snyder is, to me, the modern master of comic-book dread. His Batman runs and American Vampire prove a Brown-educated mind can render fear and darkness with literary precision. The Eisners, Inkpot, and Harvey awards confirm what readers already feel: he builds worlds with architectural care. What I love is that his horror always serves emotion, never shock for its own sake; the darkness exists to make the light register. Rising from a short-story collection to carrying DC's flagship characters speaks to real craft, not luck. I deeply respect writers who scare you and move you in the same panel.
