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.

Dark Horse has translated the novels from Japanese. Pic is Japanese covers.

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.

>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.

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.

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.

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.

30% of their library is diverse. 20% is manga. 50% is supernatural detective stories.

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

90s or 00s Godzilla run. I can't remember when it came out.
Usagi Yokimbo. Like 30 years running strong.e

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.

Now if only they could have done Alien/Predator vs with those titles

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.

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.
