Absolutely gutted by the news
. For perspective: I was a huge Star Wars comic book fan back when Dark Horse held the license thanks to the fantastic quality of their Star Wars stories. I was disappointed, yet cautiously optimistic, when Marvel took over the Star Wars license. I am sad to say that 95% or more of the Marvel Star Wars comics are bland at best, and pale in comparison to what Dark Horse did. Based on this experience I have very little faith that the Alien and Predator comics by Marvel will be any good. Sure, not everything Dark Horse published was great, but I won't hold my breath to see Marvel achieve something as good as Dark Horse.
I hate that I have to say goodbye to Dark Horse for the second time in 6 years (the first being in 2014 when they lost Star Wars)... Thank you Dark Horse for the great Alien comics you published. I will always cherish your contributions to the wonderful universe of the Alien franchise.
