Dabel Brothers Studio Leaves Alias

I cherish these days when I'm newsblogging instead of newswriting for the sole reason that I don't have to file stories about a studio with loads of problems getting comics out when they say they will get them out leaving a publishing imprint with loads of problems getting comics out when they say they will get them out, and can instead link to a site that did. The sad thing is that any retailer who supported the books now canceled probably had some investment in phantom books, attention and interest that could have been better utilized elsewhere.

There's always a lot of talk about how screwed up retailers as a group can be, and we rarely remind ourselves how publishers and publishing entities keep springing into existence that fundamentally cannot function according to a reasonable standard of getting books out as promised and roughly on time. It's no longer 1983, you know.
