    Why is it Marvel hardly does anything under the Max imprint anymore? We all know _Punisher_ and _Alias_ were great but there were a lot of under-appreciated titles as well. I strongly recommend _Terror Inc_ to anyone who hasn't read it before. They even did some interesting call-backs to golden-age superheros like _Destroyer._ Of course, there was some garbage in there too (I really wanted the Max version of _Man-Thing_ to be good).

      Disney. I was told from an artist at a con (and others have spoke on this too) that Disney stays out of the smaller day-to-day stuff, but the larger stuff they're more likely to weigh in on. I'd imagine launching a new book, especially an R-rated one, would garner that interference
