We've published six issues already (seven, if you include the #0) and we've published two trade paperbacks: THE MERCY WARS and THE SECRET HISTORY OF MONGO. The first arc was favorably reviewed by Publishers Weekly (among others). We're under contract with King Features to publish three more 6-issue story arcs: FLASH GORDON: INVASION OF THE RED SWORD FLASH GORDON: THE VENGEANCE OF MING FLASH GORDON: KING OF THE IMPOSSIBLE And we appreciate everyone who has suppported and continues to support us! We're a small company but comic books and great stories are very important to us! I just wanted to clarify that we are not the “alleged prior” publisher of FLASH GORDON.

I tried an issue of Flash Gordon and found the art downright hideous (enough to make me give up on the book, and I'm enough of a Flash Gordon fan that the art needs to be quite repellent to put me off), whereas I thought the pencilling on Dynamite's Buck Rogers was quite pleasing to the eye.

I tried buck rogers from dynamic and thought it was poorly executed both on art and story front. So I won't be buying 2 flash titles - just ardens. arddens flash is great and I can’t wait to get hold of the next series.

Was that over The Phantom? I can't remember.
