When it rains, it pours. First DC had printing issues with All-Star Batman and Robn, and now Devil’s Due Publishing has issues with two upcoming issues of Hack/Slash featuring Herbert West: Re-Animator. The company sent a press release, but to be honest, I’ve read it a couple of times and it still doesn’t make sense. It appears Brian Yuzna, the producer and owner of the Re-Animator film franchise, has no problem with what DDP is doing, but some new company called Re-Animator LLC claims it has the rights to the Re-Animator logo and is putting the pressure on Devil’s Due to not release the two issues.
DDP says they aren’t going to distribute the two issues through Diamond Comic Distributors, but instead will solicate the issues themselves, which pretty much means it will be next to impossible to find the issues anywhere but at the online store.
