I'm surprised that Wikipedia has "List of current Devil's Due Productions publications" but the only wikipedia list that is close to being a complete list of DDP publications (ie. current AND non-current) is at Devil's Due Publishing. --24.85.26.49 09:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is because it isn't actually linked in from here. (Emperor 14:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Looking at it I think we need a "current titles" section here and have all titles on the other page. (Emperor 14:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC))[reply]

3 pages (including Devil's Due Publishing) link to "HACK/slash" which currently redirects to .hack. Are 'Hack/Slash and .hack the same franchise? (I thought they were different franchises) --EarthFurst 10:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They are different. —Ragdoll 14:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added citations for two paragraphs in the history section that were tagged as original research. These appear to have been copied almost verbatim from the "About Us" page at devilsdue.net, portions of which also appear at the end of their press releases. --Sloop Jon (talk) 04:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It feels like the article was edited by employees of Devil's Due. Someone needs to rewrite this article completely so that it doesn't read like an ad for the company. My knowledge of the company is very limited, so I'm not sure if I'm the proper editor for this though. Jonny2x4 (talk) 02:37, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At present (a year and a half later) it looks more like an anti-advertisement. See the material in History about restructuring, especially the extended quotes beginning with "Recently Devil's Due has come under fire for non-payment of several creative teams owing several thousands that have done work for them."

I've taken off the

Expansion

tags. Maybe some other tag should be applied instead now!

It's clearly turned into a listing of grievances against the company, with lengthy quotes detailing legal claims against them. They should be covered, of course, but not like this. -Jason A. Quest (talk)

I feel I've addressed the issue, so I removed the tag. If you disagree, please explain why when you replace it. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed in ComicVine:

"Devil's Due Publishing was formed in 1999 as a comic book imprint within Image comics before breaking away in 2003."

Also from YoJoe on DD:

In 2001, Devil's Due Press, initially using Image Comics to distribute their titles, revived the G.I. Joe property in comic book form

And YoJoe on IC:

Devil's Due Studios acquired the rights to produce the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero comic series in 2001, starting with a four issue, bi-monthly series published through Image Comics. With issue five, the series went to a monthly shipping schedule. This series sometimes considered Volume 2 continued the story of the characters created in the Marvel run by Larry Hama. This universe was informally known as the "Hamaverse". In January of 2004, issue #26, Devil's Due left Image Comics and began publishing independently as Devil's Due Publishing (DDP).

I got looking into this because of this 2012 edit to its titles which had it listed as a subset of Image Comics.

There is no mention of Image in the company's history section though, nor in this article. If it is the case they have a past affiliation with Image, this is worth mentioning, but it needs to be supported by references. I am not certain if the links I presented qualify, but they do lead me in the direction of thinking this is true. Ranze (talk) 23:12, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Devil's Due did an incredible run with GI Joe, about a decade after Marvel dropped the title. There was an on-going series as well as several mini-series' (including an epic GI Joe vs Transformers run, with wholly unforgetable art by Jae Lee). The comics appear to now be sold by "IDW" as collections, but these were definitely Devil's Due publications. Their Hasbro deal was huge. I still have a few around here... could post images if needed. They also printed posters from the franchise and rebooted Voltron and Transformers, respectively.

This article's a mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:C407:C711:7DF5:1DD4:2F86:D61A (talk) 18:45, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're confusing Devil's Due with

Dreamwave

- they're the ones who did the TFvGIJ crossover with Jae Lee. Devil's Due did the GIJvTF comic (note the name swap). They never published any plain Transformers books.

The GI JOE books are all mentioned on the List of Devil's Due Publishing publications page, which is directly linked from this one, right under the "Comic Series Published" heading. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:08, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
