Don't forget that Disney also took Star Wars (and Indy, not that either of them is/was doing anything with it) from Dark Horse three years ago. That must have been a huge hit on DHC. Actually, what Fox properties did DH have? Is that Alien?

Why aren't they just published through Marvel? Why own a comics publisher and pay others to publish your comics?

Really good Astro City today (#50!), and for long-time readers it's a follow-up to The Nearness of You. I'm sure the quality will keep up once they switch to longer-form stories but I hope they're still released on a semi-regular basis.

I'd read the first run. It's good and Invasion needs it to be properlu understood I think.

Robot Danger posted:Is Uber: Invasion worth jumping into if I didn't read any of the first run? Yes, the letter column this week specifically assumed that people are reading Invasion who didn't read the original run. That being said, the original run only had something like 28 issues and is a very quick read. You'll also miss out on some truly fun character development if you skip it. It's very helpful to know which characters are Nazis and which characters are Nazis.

I get the impression it's how they make ends meet. e: I guess what I'm saying is that this doesn't terribly surprise me given Crossed Badlands where they released Dark Fantasy (read: scantily clad woman covered in blood) and Gore variant covers for every other issue.

Yeaaaah 99% of Avatar's library is just gore-porn garbage. Über was pretty much that when Caanan White did the art for the earlier issues. Daniel Gete is much more subtle, but he's also, on occasion, pretty.....weird. Like some faces look plain awful, and other times the art is stunning. Just ignore most stuff from Avatar, is what I'm saying. Especially the Crossed series, which is just a blatant excuse for gore porn.

I wanted to, but the second story arch of Mercury Heat became this truly awful Crossed crossover. I seldom cancel a pull on a series in the middle of a story arch, but wooboy.

Avatar very much has a type of comic they publish, and it's largely gore porn. There's a reason no one much talks about their stuff. Gillen has no idea when Comixology will get Uber, which is really annoying.

Cinema Purgatorio is a very good Avatar book, who's gory part is a story about the American Civial War But With Giant Ants. edit: Jody Houser (Faith, Mother Panic) is gonna write a Starcraft comic for Dark Horse. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/02/01/dark-horse-starcraft-comics-houser-guzman/ Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Feb 1, 2018 |

Because issues 1-8 came out on time without problem and buying it elsewhere makes reading them sequentially kind of a huge pain?

Yeah, Cinema Purgatorio, Providence (which I read on the recommendation of a poster in this thread - thank you!) and the first six issues of Crossed+100 are all published by Avatar and are among the best comics I've ever read. They're also all by or featuring Alan Moore, so that's the common thread there. That's the weird contradiction of Avatar as a company: it publishes a lot of skeevy exploitative nonsense, but it also showcases great indie work by luminaries like Gillen and Moore. I always got the impression the bad stuff draws the crowds that fund the good stuff.

Anyone really digging any of the Black Crown comics? I've only tried Assassinistas. It was okay, but didn't get me to buy issue #2. --- Following up from Evan Dorkin's woes earlier in this thread, he's got a new miniseries announced at Dark Horse. https://www.avclub.com/dark-horse-opens-enrollment-to-a-college-of-horrors-in-1822760990  quote:Dark Horse Comics is celebrating the work of cartoonist Evan Dorkin this year, a six-time Eisner Award winner who is as skilled at creating humor comics as he is at writing heartbreaking tragedies. Dark Horse is publishing collections of Dorkin’s Milk And Cheese and Dork comics in May and July, respectively, but Dorkin is also creating something new with Blackwood, a four-issue miniseries teaming him with artists Veronica and Andy Fish for a college horror-comedy. The story follows four haunted young adults who attend Blackwood College to explore and improve their supernatural powers, but as is usually the case with these situations, there’s something ancient and sinister that interrupts their education.
