Once again, from the ever-infallible Comics Buyer's Guide (with my
all-seeing editorial Eye of Eccentricy comment's):

   Next to First Comics, I've always considered Aardvark-Vanaheim to be the
   finest comic company in the marketplace.  AV has been adding a growing
   number of impressive comics to its roster, and now has the most
   impressive line-up (even with the loss of the excellent JOURNEY) next to
   First.  Unfortunately, Deni Loubert (nee Sim) is resigning as publisher
   of AV as of April 1st.  She will be forming her own publishing company,
   Renegade Press, and (by mutual agreement with Dave Sim) taking NORMALMAN,
   MS. TREE, FLAMING CARROT and NEIL THE HORSE to the Renegade masthead, as
   well as Gene Day's BLACK ZEPPELIN.
   
   While I'm sure Renegade Press will do well (Loubert's skill with AV is
   attestment enough to this), I am a bit worried about the success of
   CEREBUS (and it's companion magazines, SWORDS OF CEREBUS and CEREBUS JAM)
   without Loubert's canny business skills.  Sim has always struck me as
   much more involved in the artistic skills than the business end.
   
At any rate, I hope both of them continue to succeed.
