Scott Dunbier, the Special Projects Editor at IDW Publishing, announces his departure from the company after 16 years and reveals his plans to start his own comic book publisher. Dunbier is known for pioneering the Absolute oversized hardcover format at DC Comics and the Artist's Edition format at IDW.

Last week, Bleeding Cool broke the story that Scott Dunbier , Special Projects Editor at IDW, was leaving the publisher. And we did confirm he wasn't the new Batman editor. Art dealer turned EIC of Wildstorm Studios before it was bought by DC Comics, he pioneered the Absolute oversized hardcover format at DC which has now become the industry norm.

I do not make changes like this lightly. A couple of things I would like to say. Leaving IDW was my decision alone. I will always have a soft spot for the company that has been my home for so long. I will miss most of my former co-workers a great deal. The work they do is outstanding, and I care enormously for them. But it was time to go. As of today, I am excited for the future. I have decided to do something that may be a bit crazy, I will be starting my own publishing company.
