Is Dynamite one of the current worst publishers?
They have so many characters but they don't do anything with them and when they do, it tends to be shitty.
Makes me wonder why they bother going after so many character licenses.

What does Dynamite typically do with their licensed characters (with few exceptions such as James Bond)? Slap them on miniseries and call it a day.

It's probably cheaper in the end to license a character, and have an amount of sales guaranteed, than create your own (which is free) but have no returns guaranteed.

Has Dark Horse published anything good in the last few years apart from Hellboy? I feel like they are not putting out anything remarkable in a while. They were in the tier of Valiant and Image but they were just left behind now.

Yeah, it's a real shame that Dark Horse doesn't do a better job of marketing and publicizing their stuff.
They're one of my favorite publishers, if only because they're the only company these days whose publishing catalogue spans American comics, manga, manhwa, European comics, South American comics, licensed tie-in comics, and archival reprints of long-out-of-print classics. In terms of where they source the material they put out, they're probably one of the most diversified publishers around. Also, I've some nostalgic attachment to the company, as it was Dark Horse's manga line (specifically Blade of the Immortal and Appleseed) that kept me interested in comics through the dark, dark days of the late 1990s, when it really looked like the American comics industry was on its last legs in the wake of the 1996 industry implosion.
