Dark Horse Makes A Statement About Things From Another World

Dark Horse Ending An Era

As part of Dark Horse Comics’ continuing efforts to modernize, strengthen collaboration within the company, and build a more-connected organization across Fellowship Entertainment, today we are announcing several updates to our business…

Things From Another World

We will be closing all three of the Things From Another World retail locations, effective June 30, 2026, for the Oregon locations and September 30, 2026, for the California location. This was not an easy decision, and we do not take lightly the impact it has on the people directly affected.

To the employees whose jobs will be affected by this closure, we are deeply grateful for your dedication, your hard work, and the care you brought to your roles every day. We are committed to supporting the affected employees through this transition. We are working to ensure that this process is handled with the care and respect it warrants.

Dark Horse Entertainment

Dark Horse Entertainment is sharpening its focus on what has always been at the heart of this company — its creators. Going forward, we are deepening our commitment to our writers, artists, and storytellers who define the Dark Horse voice, ensuring they have the development support, creative partnerships, and resources to bring their visions to life across film and television. We believe the strongest path forward for Dark Horse Entertainment runs directly through the creative talent that makes this company extraordinary.

Dark Horse Games

Dark Horse Games is a new initiative dedicated to bringing the company’s rich creative universes to interactive entertainment. Just as Dark Horse Entertainment exists to champion our storytellers in film and television, Dark Horse Games will provide creators with the development opportunities and creative partnerships needed to realize their worlds within interactive entertainment. The same spirit that has defined Dark Horse Comics for four decades — independent, creator-driven, uncompromising — now has a home in Fellowship Entertainment.

We believe these changes further focus Dark Horse on its successful core publishing and collectibles business and on deepening our relationship with our fans and the retail community alike. Importantly, we also believe our world-class creators will directly benefit from dedicated resources across our group companies and a renewed focus on opportunities for them across linear and interactive media.

About Dark Horse Comics 

Dark Horse Comics was founded in 1986 by Mike Richardson as an offshoot of his comics retail chain, Things From Another World.  With a goal of creating a welcoming environment for comics professionals, Dark Horse continues to publish the work of many of the greatest creators in the industry’s history. Dark Horse, from its beginning,  also has a track record of establishing new creative talent. Early on, the company set new standard for quality with licensed properties, including comics, graphic novels, collectibles, and art books based on popular film and gaming properties. Dark Horse also began building a manga publishing line in the 1980s, going on to release such classics as Lone Wolf & Cub, Akira, Ghost In the Shell, Trigun, and Berserk. Richardson established Dark Horse Entertainment as a film division in 1989, finding initial success with his own creations, The Mask and TimeCop. Recent hits from Dark Horse Entertainment include The Umbrella Academy on Netflix and Resident Alien on SyFy. In 2022, Dark Horse Media, LLC was established as Dark Horse  became part of Embracer Group AB.
