The video game side of things is interesting to me because I like comics but I don't really like video games. I wonder sometimes how you end up with a video game studio of all things buying a comic book company, never mind buying it for as much as they spent. If all their games were as crap as people say they were, where did they get the money?
One story I've heard relating to Deathmate is that Rob Liefeld was so late on his pages that Bob Layton ultimately resorted to flying from New York to California, going to Liefeld's house and refusing to leave until he finished his work, then Layton inked them himself in his hotel room and sent them on ahead of him via FedEx.
Dark Horse lost Conan, Buffy, and Star Wars in a few years, and where'd they be now if Mignola had taken Hellboy to Image in the 90s?
That's a real spiraling into the plughole scenario there.
