Spotted Online – Mike Richardson on Dark Horse Layoffs

Dark Horse Comics (website, Twitter) let go a small percentage of their staff recently and now ICV2 has publisher Mike Richardson’s words on what happened.

You have to change with the times. The business changes, and the market changes. We have to do that too. We reinvent ourselves every few years. We’re the same company from the outside, but we go through a very close examination of the books we’re doing.

While it’s always sad when someone loses their job, overall it sounds like Dark Horse knows what they’re doing and is making the right tweaks to their staff to stay profitable. And 150 employees? Damn, I had no idea they were that large.
