Scott Snyder has become one of the most recognizable names in the comic book industry thanks to his best-selling work on titles like Batman and Justice League. But lately, Snyder has been focusing his efforts on his personal imprint Best Jackett Press and a new wave of creator-owned comics. Just in time for Comic-Con, Snyder is set to launch a new trio of digital-first books as part of the Comixology Originals program.
All week long, IGN will be revealing these new comics and debuting exclusive preview art from each. Scroll down to learn more about the first reveal, Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine, and check back on Thursday and Friday to see the other two books in this lineup.
Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine
Creative Team: Scott Snyder, Jamal Igle, Juan Castro, Chris Sotomayor & Tom Napolitano
Length: 7 issues
Snyder is teaming with Supergirl artist Jamal Igle for a science fiction series about an aspiring inventor who might just be his own worst enemy. Dudley Datson dreams of becoming the next Albert Einstein, but he may have bitten off more than he can chew after building a device that allows him to control time and space.

All three series will debut on July 19, just ahead of the start of SDCC. As with all Comixology Originals titles, these books are free to read for subscribers of Comixology Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading, and they can also be purchased individually.
