James Tynion IV, the New York Times bestselling author behind comic books like Something is Killing the Children and The Department of Truth, on Friday announced the launch of Tiny Onion, an independent multimedia production company that will be active across the publishing, film, television, and animation industries.

In a statement on Tiny Onion’s unveiling, Tynion said: “Over the last twelve years, I’ve watched the comics industry from the inside, working alongside its best talent and biggest publishers, seeing the exciting ways that it can connect to other media spaces, and I’ve managed to work my way to some prominence.

Now I have the chance to take everything I’ve learned and test out every way to make it work even better. Not just for me, but for the generation of creators coming up behind me.” Backed by a seed investment from production company Lyrical Media (How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Bruiser), Tiny Onion will manage much of Tynion’s IP and is in the process of developing a number of properties for the screen.

Amongst them is The Department of Truth, which Tynion will team on with Sister, serving as executive producer. UTA, which reps both Tynion and Lyrical Media, will now represent Tiny Onion in media rights, where it will help the production company grow its producing profile across film and television.
