During the past decade, James Tynion IV has built up an incredible resume of horror titles which include The Department of Truth, W0RLDTR33, Justice League Dark, DC vs. Vampires, Constantine: The Hellblazer, Something is Killing the Children and Memetic.
On November 15, 2023, Tynion IV and artist Joshua Hixson debuted a new title from Image Comics called The Deviant. The series masterfully spins a tale that’s a mix between Silent Night, Deadly Night and Mindhunter.
The official synopsis of the series reads “As snow falls over Milwaukee in 1972, a blood-stained Santa Claus commits unimaginable atrocities against young men. Fifty years later, a troubled young writer interviews this so-called “Deviant Killer,” who still maintains his innocence from behind bars. And as Christmas approaches once again, the past returns, wielding a sharpened ax.”
With 2024 being yet another powerful year for the writer, we’re happy to award James Tynion IV the 2024 Horror Comic Award for Writer of the Year.
