Go, Read: Fortune Favors the Bold

Fortune Magazine's profile of AD Vision proves interesting on a variety of levels, and provides some insight as to how these companies are different than both traditional book publishers workingin comics and the mainstream comics publishers/licensed property caretakers. The description of the offices reminds me of the impression one might get walking through the Martin Goodman offices in the mid- to late-1950s. The piece also suggests that sideline businesses like publishing manga are there as a satellite to the main business and will stay around as long as they're profitable, which sounds like common sense, but at the same time seems to me to suggest a different kind of commitment to a publishing model.
