The announcement comes in an era when exclusive announcements by either of the Big Two comic publishers have been rare, as creators keep their options open for creator-owned works and work for other publishers. Taylor is beginning Neverlanders, a graphic novel series for Penguin Young Readers (see "Graphic Novel by Tom Taylor") next year; that series is presumably excluded from this deal.
Taylor’s most recent big hit for DC has been Superman: Son of Kal-El, in which the announcement that Jon Kent was bisexual brought "unprecedented" orders (see "Big Orders on Upcoming Releases").
