Those Who Don’t Know Comics History…

Great, great catch by Dirk Deppey at Journalista!, who notes the conflation of what seems like financial trouble at Platinum Studios and owner Scott Rosenberg's announcement of a new venture called Vanguard Comics. Rosenberg first came to the attention of the comics world when in the 1980s black and white boom and its immediate aftermath he created multiple companies and used the advantages of having multiple companies to make as much hay as possible while avoiding what some believed were basic responsibilities to individual companies and the comics market. As Deppey notes, there doesn't seem to be anything different about what Vanguard plans to do when compared to what Platinum is supposed to do except that the former company seems to not be having financial problems.
