I think it's wonderful that the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth comics have been rescued from the previous artists at Tokyo Pop. Even though I'm not a manga fan, these weren't even very well accepted in the manga-reading community at large. The fan base was very limited. Creator Brian Froud helming these would be exciting! Let's give that its moment. Very good news. 
That said...The Henson Company has yanked our chains again. We want movie news. Ever since being teased with the very real-looking concept art of Kira on the cover of fan magazines several years ago I've expected something. I understand that films take time, but this announcement wasn't hanled well. Maybe the Archaia Comics portion was the clue we should have looked at, but I was expecting a movie-tie-in somewhere. Henson's PR department is small, but how many times can they get our hopes up? Just a little sad.

Apologies if this has been answered already but has it been said (at comiccon or elsewhere) but the fate is of TokyoPop's DC & Labyrinth mangas...will they get finished, transferred over to the new company or just dropped leaving readers hanging (this would be a huge shame for RTL which just has one more volume left)
