<DIV>Also, Sergio and Mark's latest comic work appeared in Solo #11 last
week. Now Solo is getting cancelled with issue
12. </DIV>

<DIV>Dark Horse get ready!!! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Hey how about a Groo vs. Shrek book for next year? That's when
Shrek 3 comes out and Mark even wrote the Shrek mini series a few
years back for Dark Horse. We all know that Dark Horse loves a good
crossover too. They once printed a Lobo vs. The Mask book
so they'll publish anything. Groo and Shrek together!
Donkey and Rufferto! I'd buy it! It's like a buddy
action movie with two big oafs! (I hope Mike Richardson is in the
Groop....)</DIV>

<DIV>Groo for 2007!!!! </DIV>

Image Comics - Basically a rock star/gimmick-cover joke of a publisher

the company <BR>almost immediately fell into a toilet of in-house turmoil...
