Okay, I've taken the kids to school, and popped into town for this week's comics and settled down at the Waterstone's Piccadilly fifth floor with its

Naturally, I feel bad for Dark Horse Comics the publisher, as this kind of blow in their publishing lineup will surely hurt them in market share, thus, by extension I also feel for all those who currently work on the comics there.

Star Wars' original home may have been Marvel, but Dark Horse has been building the Expanded Universe for the last twenty-four years, one Force choke at a time.

If the series continues to be somewhat outrageous in its art choices, maintains character interest, and stirs up enough conflict (which is the most likely element based on past Dead Boy stories), then it may encourage other Vertigo books to be more edgy in their format and a little more playful in their content. Baltimore is[...]
