This huge if true comic news doesn’t really fit into underwear pervert comic news thread. It also doesn’t fit in this thread as Dark Horse publishes quite a bit of manga.
That just shows how unique and awesome Dark Horse comics is in the US comics industry. It’s always lived up to its name. Never big enough to not be considered an indie publisher, but never small enough to be weak. Their biggest thing is probably Hellboy. They’ve also done licensed stuff like Alien, Buffy, Star Wars (before Marvel/Disney merger). And they also have a manga division run by Carl Horn which doesn’t license a huge number of titles, but always has really top-tier ones. Berserk, Blade of the Immortal, Lone Wolf & Cub, Mob Psycho, etc.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking, what has Dark Horse even done recently? Aren’t their best days in the past. Nope, they’ve always got something new and exciting going on. Have you seen Black Hammer?
If I could afford to buy Dark Horse I would, just to have it keep carrying on as-is. If they sell, it could be a positive change if the owner lets current leadership go forth simply with more investment behind them. But most likely it means bad news, as a new owner is going to want a return on investment, and the only way to increase profits is to do bad capitalism business.
