The second coming of Comico? CO2 comics comes online
As a company that has strong ties to the 80's independent comics scene, with us publishing stuff from First Comics and Eclipse, we're really happy to hear that Bill Cucinotta and Gerry Giovinco are getting back into the game with CO2 Comics, a web comics publishing site developed by the former Comico partners and publishers.
Making the jump from print to pixels is an exciting adventure for the pair who were instrumental in laying the groundwork for Comico the Comic Company, which was one of the most dynamic and influential independent comic publishers during the 1980's featuring such titles as Mage, Grendel, Elementals, Robotech, Jonny Quest, Gumby, Starblazers, and Space Ghost.
The project is quickly turning into a reunion of Comico artists. Besides works by Cucinotta and Giovinco, comics are presented featuring the talents of Chris Kalnick, Joe Williams, Andrew C. Murphy, Reggie Byers, Bernie Mireault, Bill Anderson, Rich Rankin and Neil Vokes.
We look forward to seeing what they're up to.

Wonder if Matt Wagner will do his MAGE 3 and GRENDEL series here again?
I kinda hope not.

GRENDEL, I doubt-- it's well entrenched at Dark Horse.
MAGE, on the other hand...

More Bernie Mireault-rhymes-with-zero!!

I would LOVE to see Willingham's Elementals again done BY Willingham. Hopefully they could ignore all the garbage toward the end where they were trying to create a generic superhero universe that sprang up with the Oblivion War.

MAGE will probably stay with IMAGE, if and when M. Wagner returns to it.
I doubt that M. Wagner would be too keen to return to Comico after spending years trying to extract his properties from the bankrupty mess left behind when Comico folded years ago.

Who owns Elementals these days? While it would be fantastic to see BW writing them again, I can't imagine it's very likely. Reprints of the originals would be nice though.
