First ...I don't know if I can agree with that. First off, I've met David Petersen a couple of times, and I really liked the guy. Plus, I think he's managed a very nice epic tone for his story.<br /><br />That said, I haven't read Mice Templar, so what do I know?<br /><br />Still, it isn't like Petersen went looking for hype. He was a guy at a Con with a stand-alone black-and-white one-shot book who happened to meet Mark Smylie and thereby found a publisher. And not a big one, either. Back then, ASP was pretty much just Artesia and whatever other projects Mark personally got behind. He very nearly got behind Bronx Angel in the same way, but ultimately he didn't like the art enough--and I don't blame him; that was the right call.<br /><br />Anyway, the rest was just market forces, which ASP was able to use and capitalize upon. Even so, it's not like they're out there merchandising to the max. It's still very much a work of art and not a publishing machine.Danno E.
