I read the occasional Robyn Hood or Van Helsing book when Comixology has a sale, but beyond that I have mostly checked out because I don't have the disposable income I once did.
Damn. This thread fell off a cliff.
I blame Zenescope's strategy of going with oversized one-shots and only one ongoing title of my personal divestment from the publisher.

I feel like they had to make a drastic move to keep afloat. The market isn't as kind to non-Image indies as it once was. That said, I do wish minis would come back. I loved when there were three ongoings, but I don't see Zenescope being able to sustain that.
I was hoping a major announcement was coming with the hire of David Wohl, who helped build Top Cow. I personally don't think that the Grimm Universe will have any depth to its stories and characters until Joe Brusha steps away from writing any of the stories. Pat Shand and Raven Gregory have returned to write a few books. I've liked what Dave Francini has been doing with the Belle books (mini-series were great for Zenescope standards, but the one-shots have suffered from space limitations). Ben Meares' Gretel mini is a new personal Zenescope favorite. Quality went down when Francini wrote the next addition, though (a one-shot).
Maybe there's still hope that Wohl can craft the direction of the storytelling and Brusha can just focus on marketing. A man can wish...
