Dark Horse's Deal With Steve Niles & Shannon Denton's Monster Forge

Monster Forge Productions is an IP farm co-founded by Shannon Eric Denton and Steve Niles that "focuses on a spectrum of horror properties, ranging from light monster fare for children to full-blown adult scares. Monster Forge enters the entertainment space with a multi-platform production division bringing their monstrous library of titles and creator relationships to film, television, interactive entertainment, gaming, and merchandising."  Plenty of their shared creations are being repped by Monster Forge, including 30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre and October Faction. It could well be that these series may get revived away from previous publishers and at Dark Horse Comics.
