The financial down turn is true enough, but the editorial about it being more about IDW's attempts at bringing more diverse characters to their properties harming them is just more of Avi Green's comicsgate nonsense. |

I really like their output at the moment, especially Star Trek. Sad news.

1) the ideas started with Cosmic Book News, which is mostly a propaganda site not a newssite
2)the link you posted is to Bleeding Fool, a blatant attempt to tread on Bleeding Cool's name, and a deceptive technique to try to add credibility to their nonsense as they just cite each other in an attempt to hoodwink people into thinking their reports are corroborated by other sites
and 3) none of the other so called "responsible" comics journalism sites, or even Bleeding Cool itself which has pretty much a level of zero credibility needed to pick up and run a story has even so much as touched this story.
So yeah, let's just say I think this is someone talking out of their arsehole trying to create a situation where if you repeat a lie often enough people will start believing it.

They certainly cooled me with the fake logo! Er, fooled me, that is. |

Sounds like they're in trouble.

Sounds like they're in trouble. Sounds like a minority shareholder (a hedge fund company) getting desperate because other media companies are selling out to mega-corporations for big payouts and wants to make a a huge financial gain on their investment by leveraging the board into selling out to a Netflix/DMG analogue like Valiant and Millarworld did so they can get a big quick payoff rather than stay the course IDW has been on that the hedge fund admits has already been a profitable venture for them. They want a quick cash out rather than the small but steady revenue stream they have gotten form their investment. They own about 9% of the company's shares, and are trying to leverage/force the other shareholders into what they see as a big score. The only trouble here is a minority shareholder wanting a quick cash grab because they see other small media companies doing it. -M |

Sounds like they're in trouble. Yes it does. Does IDW (the publisher, not the holding) really own an interesting IP portfolio? I mostly know them for brilliant comic-strip reprints and a few licensed series, but not so much for original material. |

They sound more like Image , where they take a fee but don't own the properties.

I mostly know them for brilliant comic-strip reprints and a few licensed series, but not so much for original material. I personally think IDW is our best hope for bringing the comic industry back to broader audience beyond 30 and 40 somethings who haunt comic shops. They have a large and exciting all-ages catalog that could easily work on spinner racks . Granted, most or all of these are licensed properties. |

That’s good news in a sense, because if the publishing arm is doing well enough but not thanks to original IP, it doesn’t appear fincially sound to sell anything. It’s not like Marvel potentially outsourcing its comics to someone else to get dividends without having to produce anything itself. |
