They seem to persistantly shoot themselves in the financial foot. It seems as if the Dabel Brothers do not understand how business is done.

Dabel Bros signed a partnership deal with Marvel, and now it's over and Marvel are keeping all the best licences? What did DBPro get out of this, exactly? And if it was just a question of terminating the partnership, how did Marvel get to keep those licences? There's something odd going on here - it's almost as if the Dabels have sold most of their business to Marvel while keeping the name.

Only 5 issues out of a planned 8 actually came out, and they paid a surprising amount of attention to details of the source material. I'd like to see it completed. I do find it interesting that Dabel Brothers went on to do a bunch of other high-profile comic adaptations of fantasy novels, and Red Eagle Entertainment practically dropped off the face of the earth. I'd never heard of them before <i>New Spring</i>, and the only projects they listed on their website were the comic and a film adaptation of the first book in the series. (I heard somewhere that their main purpose was to license Jordan's novels, which fits.) Then, sometime during the last year, Red Eagle removed everything from their website except for a logo and an email address. That makes me inclined to believe Dabel Brothers' side of the story, at least in that dispute. On the other hand, as you point out, they've jumped publishers <em>a lot</em>, which makes you wonder why...
