Darned thing logged me out while I was writing this!  ::pout:: Jenn Dolari 11:43, 31 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

That line about "released the rest of the current staff" is so euphemistic. What does released mean? Sacked? How about saying 'sacked'?

"Comico's line ended in 1997 with Elementals Sex Special #1, illustrated by Frank Quitely." The Elementals Sex Sp #1 came out in 1991, and Quitely was not involved. Unless Comico came out with another one, (which the GCD doesn't know about), don't know the source for this.

Article title

edit

I'm going to to change this. The company wasn't called "Comico Comics", and isn't called that in the article. The Comico publications I have - about two-thirds of the Grendel run - all say simply "Comico" on the front cover, and "Comico the Comic Company" on the back cover and the indicia. I'm going to go with "Comico" as per WP:COMMONNAME. --Nicknack009 (talk) 20:22, 26 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

I set this at "Mid" for importance given that Comico was among the more important minor companies during the 1980s. This may be erring on the high side though. — J Greb 17:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 9 February 2018

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move this article to Comico: The Comic Company, but no consensus to move Comico (Korea) to the base title. Therefore, moving the disambiguation page to the base title. I am sympathetic to the idea that the current disambiguator could be better on the Comico (Korea) article and suggest that it be worked out separately.

ComicoComico: The Comic Company – Sorry for any inconvenience that I might have caused with moving the pages without discussing it first. I don't normally do that but since I thought it wasn't a big deal in this case, that's why I decided to move it myself. I promise not to do this in the future. As for the reason for renaming the pages, this Comico is now defunct and no longer in operation while the other Comico is currently still operating and a much bigger company than this one. It is part of NHN Entertainment which operates a bunch of companies in Korea, Japan, and other countries along with Comico. It makes more sense to name this Comico: The Comic Company and Comico (Korea) to Comico. AquilaXIII (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

I regret that I missed this discussion, because the new article title selected does not satisfy WP:COMMONNAME. In ordinary usage, the publisher is referred to as simply "Comico".[1][2][3] Titling this article "Comico: The Comic Company" is like disambiguating the American brewery as "Budweiser: King of Beers". A better solution would be to disambiguate the two publishers as Comico (Japanese publisher) and Comico (US publisher). -Jason A. Quest (talk) 15:31, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
