[edit] Cleaning up the list

I recommend that we break each section into two subsections (major publishers and minor publishers), for the sake of ease in dealing with the list. The problem is, how would we classify major vs. minor? I would recommend a criteria of more two imprints, but under this idea, Comico was a minor publisher, and Studio Ironcat a major one. So we'll have to think on this one. Any ideas?--Mitsukai 19:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

An example of what I'm talking about, based on a major/minor criteria of at least two imprints, can be found here.--Mitsukai 20:00, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• I dunno, mate. The distiction between major and minor publishers seems dangerously subjective to me. For example, if we're going by manga sales, Tokyopop is the major publisher while DC is a minor one. If we go by original comics, the ranking is reversed. Furthermore, it gets confusing when one tries to account for the Image evolution and reorganization. I say we leave it alone. --Strannik 22:01, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 Is 4Winds, publisher of Scout, still in business?

Added Custom Comics of America, who made the RaceWarrior series. Anyone but me have them?--Alexrules43 20:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] omission

FYI, Event Comics is missing from the list. (Not an active publisher AFAIK)
