    He sold Wildstorm and DC ended it as an imprint in 2010.
    I think the recent publications we were talking about here were released as standard DC imprint, although a different Universe.

    Maybe @numberthirty can say something more accurate.

    DC bought him out. That's why they tried to incorporate the WS material into the mainline comics during New 52.

    I for loved it (overall) and would want to see it established as a Universe. While I did grow up on the original WS, TWS fits better with my tastes today.

    Thought the little nods to the original WS universe and re-inventions were sweet. My major gripe was the treatment of Slayton who was one of my favorite charaters in the original.

    What did y'all think?

    I loved what Ellis did with The Wild Storm....this new universe should continue. It truely felt like watching actual tv series when reading that run.

    Warren Ellis's The Wild Storm was dope,
    but the follow up Wild Cats is apparently delayed indefinitely, so basically cancelled.
    It was suppose to go into the 52 Universe or something from the solicitations.

    Sounds pretty accurate to me.

    Don't really want to spoil anything by going into the specific changes made in The Wild Storm.

    I’m surprised they didn’t make Wildstorm one of the 52 Earths.

    This goes to show that Wildstorm was best when it was part of the Image Comics handle...

    No, it really doesn't.

    Then why couldn't Jim Lee had hired Warren Ellis to run Wildstorm? I think that DC Comics bought Wildstorm so that they could get Jim Lee's services. Ironic that the reason why he sold his company was to become a full time illustrator again, only to end up where he was before he sold the company: A desk job as publisher. which he wanted to avoid in the first place.

    They did. It was revealed to be Earth-50 in the 52 Weekly by Morrison/Johns/Rucka/Waid. It's just that the management at DC presumably Lee/Harras wanted greater integration of the Wildstorm characters and properties and used New 52 to incorporate Daemonites, Fairchild, Grifter, Midnighter, Stormwatch, etc into the mainline to presumably buildup to a crossover that never happened.

    Kinda wish that DC/Jim Lee would use one of those universes to just set up a simple Wildstorm line without having to go all world-building a d crossover crazy.

    Me? I just really want a DV8 book again. I loved those characters.

    DC Comics should spin off Wildstorm into its own imprint...

    There is no reasonably worthwhile reason to do so.

    The last time it was a functional imprint(The Wild Storm...) was the best the IP has ever been. Probably as good as it ever could be.

    Rolling the dice on screwing that ride off into the sunset up with whatever might come of a new imprint?

    It's just not a very good idea.

    Did anyone collect any Wildstorm collectibles? I saw these cards on Ebay from the Gen 13 1995 & 1997 set and got my friends to help me make a video about them:
