Mike Richardson Renames His Dark Horse Comic Called Icon, To Cloaked

Published Wed, 24 Nov 2021 10:28:11 -0600

Mike Richardson is the publisher and owner of Dark Horse Comics, and in December will be putting out a comic book he write, drawn by Jordi Armengol. It was solicited under the name Icon as a four issue limited series about the return of a masked vigilante after 25 years.

Mike Richardson Renames Own Comic Icon As Cloaked

However, it is possible that someone may have pointed out that Marvel Comics has the Icon Comics imprint for creator-owned comics, including those from Brian Bendis before he took them to DC Comics – and then to Dark Horse. So maybe that might be a little too on the nose? Either way, the series has now been renamed Cloaked – with a tagline "The Myth, The Legend, The Lie" and is up for FOC today…
