With all the good shit from DarkHorse how does it come that Marvel and DC still are THE comic book publishers? Capeshit is shit for the most part.
I should also mention that I am not american and as such do not have the insight in the industry you might have.
Their Conan run was very enternaining by the way
some others:
red rocket 7
ring of the nibelung by p craig russell
the best of milligan and mccarthy
conan by busiek
they've also got some dave mckean stuff that's really god
The classic reprints of classics: Conan, Creepy, EC, etc.
Aren't they the ones publishing Blacksad in English?
>>91372869
Yes. Edgy, but still fun. John Arcudi is reliable.
>>91372981
It's not about being good. It's about selling marketable icons.
AvP EU is so good.

Usagi Yojimbo
>>91372405
Star Wars: Legacy
Alien comics are top notch, and so was Ostrander's Star Wars.
>>91372405
The entire prose novels from the creator of Vampire Hunter D. These precede the movies as the source material. Author Hideyuki Kikuchi is still writing new novels in the series to this day.
Dark Horse has translated the novels from Japanese. Pic is Japanese covers.
>>91372405
Sabretooth Swordsman is like the Goon in a fantasy setting. It's in black and white but the linework is really gorgeous.
>>91373664
Ohhhh fuck, does anyone know where I can download issues of this? Shit looks soooooo goooood
>>91372750
>One of the better cape comics out right now.
I was putoff at first because I was sort of over post-modern takes on superheroes, but the characterization was so damn smart.
I also love to see Lemire blurring Kirby's work (and others) between Marvel and DC into gestalt characters.
>>91373867
Yeah. But I wonder why didn't Dark Horse collect the original miniseries yet...
Gotta say that dark horse has plenty of variety when it comes to their books
>>91372981
>I should also mention that I am not american and as such do not have the insight in the industry you might have.
Dark horse made most of their money from licensing Star Wars and Indiana Jones into comic books. That's where they made most of their money for years. Hellboy was their only other big hit.
Dark Horse has about 5% or less of the comic market.
Image Comics has about 10% of the market thanks to the Walking Dead and Saga.
Image is better at cutting deals.

De:Tales

Isn't Empowered from Dark Horse?
>>91374090
They did and then let it go out of print
>>91373545
Damn, how long does it take to draw something like this.
>>91374461
Bummer.
>>91374518
Darrow can be fast when he wants, but it's intensive. He makes way more money but not working in comics unfortunately.
Major Bummer
>>91372405
The Hero by David Rubin, it's a retelling of Heracles including contemporary technology and a pretty good Atlas.
>>91372405
Beasts of Burden. It's a horror comic about house pets investigating supernatural occurrences, I can't recommend it enough
It's technically Marvel now, but Knights of The Old Republic is still the best Star Wars ongoing ever.
Akira
Berserk
Black Hammer
Dead Inside
House of Penance
Resident Alien
The Umbrella Academy
Two Brothers
>>91374936
If it's still ongoing, does that mean it's canon?
>>91375046
>Akira
I'm pretty sure this is published by Kodansha now or at least they got the rights because they're releasing a new edition later this year.
>>91372432
It's strange to think that at one point, Dark Horse had quality manga like Ah! My Goddess, Gunsmith Cats, Usagi Yojimbo and Blade of the Immortal standing along side of Aliens, Predator, Star Wars, and Hellboy. They weren't DC or Marvel but they were still a damned giant in comics.
Does anyone have any news about the imprint Karen Berger is going to start with Dark Horse? The last news I saw about it just said she's going to start something and that was back in february.
>>91376167
Give it time. If she's still got the talent she'll assemble one hell of a lineup.
Beasts of Burden
Black Hammer
Harrow County
Resident Alien
Monekymam and O'brien
Fear Agent
Mind MGMT
DeptH
Perhapanauts
Baltimore
Joe Golem
Usagi Yojimbo
Strain is okay
>>91374048
He's doing a good job at a Vertigo take on an Astro City sort of thing. It helps that he's somewhat modernizing old comics without shitting on them.
The first few volumes of Solomon Kane are pretty great, even if they are written by that creep with the weird hair.
Not getting lefty political over it: guy's just not a good person.
does anybody know if the Predator comics are any good?
>>91376965
don't know which ones collect what but I like the bloody sands of time, bad blood, batman vs predator
>>91372405
they do Berserk's english US release
>>91377246
I wish they didn't though because they still use that awful tiny ass format and most of the volumes are out of print, if Viz had the rights there would already be Vizbigs of it
>>91375975
dark horse is my favorite desu wit you senpai
>>91372405
In the 90s they were fucking INCREDIBLE.
Look here for a few of their better comics: >>91377981
>>91372684
Fun story and great art, as well.
I liked the first two years of Ghost, in a "90's cheesecake" sort of way.
They published my friend's comic, Henchgirl. I think it's pretty solid but from what I've seen about it around here /co/ isn't to into it.
DH seems to have a level of breadth and variety that the Big 2 often struggles to have. Even in the current day.
>>91378828
30% of their library is diverse. 20% is manga. 50% is supernatural detective stories.
If you want to get a supernatural detective story published, go to them and Mignola will draw a cover.
>>91376679
Scott Allie? The hell did he do?
>>91372405
Joe Yodel, Birthday Suit, Get M.U.R.D.E.R., and Disordered Priorities. That's just off the top of my head.

I only needed Hellboy, the Goon and Usagi Yojimbo to became a Dark horse fag.
>>91372405
Harrow County
>>91372405
the goon,but i don`t remember if it was all published by dark horse or just a part
>>91381216
>wizard magazine can never update this
>>91381402
Started at some small press (Antarctic?) but all except the first 1-3 were Dark Horse.
>>91382188
>>91372405
Brody's Ghost by Mark Crilley. The whole thing.
>>91372405
The Star Wars: Republic series.
>>91372405
Their EC comics collections are top-tier.
>>91384503
I liked this one a lot,, though i guess he isnt making anything similar at this point?
>>91378892
>50% is supernatural detective stories.
Can someone give recomendations on this? I'm interested in that genre.
>>91380959
Why is that anime girl there?
>>91395951
Dark Horse publishes a lot of translated manga.
>>91395951
>>91396744
I think she's from Oh My Goodness. That was one of their major manga projects like Berserk or Lone Wolf and Cub
>>91377286
>most of the volumes are out of print
I'm pretty sure they put a lot of them back in print since the new volume is out or coming out.
Dark horse does 3 in 1's too, the Blade of the Immortal one is nice. And DH people have said their are plans for bigger berserk collections
Usagi Yojimbo is always worth checking out.
>>91373986
oh man, I want this so bad
>>91372650
Hell yeah this. Gorgeous art done by a talented artist who worked with Disney? Kino.
Good writing too.
>>91375975
Are there any download links for Gunsmisth Cats? The animeme was pretty good but super short. I wonder what's the mango like

First two (very short) minis were Avatar, but Eric Powell hated to work with them....
>>91373993
Be prepared for the agonizingly slow updates because the creator can't make money off the series so it's perpetually on the back burner.
>>91372405
Goon and other stuff from Eric Powell
90s or 00s Godzilla run. I can't remember when it came out.
Usagi Yokimbo. Like 30 years running strong.e
Lots of Alien and Predator comics. Like a lot.
A lot of manga is published through Dark Horse, like FLCL and Astro Boy. I've heard /a/ complain about it, saying it is subpar work but idk the western manga publishing market well enough to refute it.
>>91375975
Now if only they could have done Alien/Predator vs with those titles
>>91375975
Not to mention Ghost in the Shell before it was a thing, and stuff like Dominion Tank Police and Appleseed.
Also, everyone should read Empowered.
>>91373432
That's not true at all. They have a ton of good books, just not a lot of capeshit.
>>91399421
it's image, wildstorm and vertigo
>>91400296
What's good about Empowered?
>>91401042
>What's good about Empowered?
It's a cheesecake comic with plenty jokes and running gags. There's even some decent horror thrown in for good measure.
If you compare it to the same shit Avatar Press or whatever hocks it's done in a more self-aware style.

>>91375932
Kodansha took the rights back a while ago, although the current paperback is the exact same cover as the dark horde release, flipped and uses the Marvel translation.
