It’s been pretty baffling!

Truly. People forget what an absolute shitshow it was over there under Allie's toxic regime and Richardson's protection.

True. I tend to think from the POV of a sane person with business acumen. πŸ˜‚

I think they’ll keep it going. More valuable to keep it with so many IPs and licensing opportunities, I’d think.

Exactly. I don’t doubt they’ll be problematic (lots of people shudder at the company’s mention), but there’s no folksy β€œoh they gave us these beloved books” to hide behind or obfuscate. This is just naked venture capitalism and we know it.

Right? I think a mix of unawareness, and then the privileged class whom he helped and didn’t act stupid around, probably. Either way, I find it frustrating that memories are so short.

It came out later that he did much, much worse, and that was the final nail in his coffin. Richardson had to fire him after that but I doubt that he would have if it weren’t made so public.

Re: enabling workplace abuse, read to the end for Mike’s weird fucking response that names the reporter multiple times as if he’s addressing her, specifically:

I’ve known a LOT of people who have worked for him or his company over the last 20 years, and they’ve ALL got stories.

I myself have been victim of the trickle-down of his poor leadership that I’m still trying to financially recover from.

So yeah, end of an era, but also in a good way, probably.

He deserves the accolades he’s earned; his contributions to this industry are numerous.

We all love Hellboy and Sin City, Usagi, maga translations…
And a lot of privileged people in comics love Mike for what he’s done for them.

But he also deserves the criticism…

I know Richardson was an absolute force in the industry, changing the landscape of comics forever, giving lots of opportunities to amazing indie work.

He also stifled a lot of great projects and creators, enabled workplace abuse, and perpetuated ineptitude all through his company.

Right. And he probably had to at some point to keep the company going, but from everything I know about DH and my own experiences with them, that would largely have been due to his own mismanagement anyway.

Gentle reminder that he, uh… Sold them all of his shares in the company in 2021 and paved the way for this.

Two years ago, my partner and I adopted a sweet senior dog named Mac. While senior, he's in great health except for some extreme congestion that he's had since Nov. We're out of in-house vet options and need to take him for pricey additional testing: www.gofundme.com/f/help-mac-g...
