Indy's Fist
New member
I was wondering besides IJ Adventures due out later this year, is there any news on other upcoming IJ comics?

Everyone had better buy the TPBkongisking said:The now-deceased Official Magazine (sob!) had an interview with Tomb of the Gods's writer, who said that he had an idea for another comic series which, he says, "fans would really love" and that it depends on Gods's sales whether or not he'll be given the A-OK to develop this idea. We can only sit and hope now, folks...
Woah, I didn't know it was out already! I'm off to the comic shopindyclone25 said:picked up my copy of the trade paperback today at my local comic shop --- i was hoping for a different cover , but alas it was the final cover from issue four, i had the four individual books but still bought the tpb anyways , indy fandom at its best ?

Dark Horse can always be counted on for the absolute best product in the business.
I'm referring to some VERY underhanded tactics they used to basically try and muscle the Phantom license away from Moonstone, a much smaller, but very high-quality, publishing house. They basically just went to the licensor, King Features, promised better sales due to a larger organization and better promotions and marketing, and said, "take the license away from Moonstone and give it to us." And King was all set to just up and do that, but Moonstone went on a PR offensive and was able to preserve a "co-license," which Dynamite then refused to accept, and just said, "Screw you, we'll get the license when it expires." They manipulated the entire thing to make it look like Moonstone were the bastards of the situation, and largely got away with that. And they'll get their license in two or three years. They're just very underhanded. My understanding, from a lot of people connected with the industry, is that they basically got to where they are by dealing the way the Big Two deal. It's unfortunate that people have to basically be scumbags to be successful in a basically unregulated capitalist economy, but I guess that's the way it is.DIrishB said:Don't you think you're being unneccessarily harsh? "Bunch of scumbags"? Wow...did Dynamite Entertainment sleep with your girlfriend or something?
