[edit] Overview
Dynamite Entertainment focus primarily on comic book adaptations of existing properties, with most of their 'original' properties being new interpretations of the public domain classic monsters Dracula, Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolf Man. Currently they hold the rights to publish titles based on films (Army of Darkness, Darkman and Highlander), television series (both original and modern Battlestar Galactica and Xena: Warrior Princess) and literature (Red Sonja and Re-Animator).
Two additional crossovers have been released through other companies, one through Image Comics in 2005 pitting their monsters against Top Cow published characters Witchblade, the Darkness, the Magdalena and Tomb Raider entitled Monster War; and a 2006 crossover between DC Comics' Claw the Unconquered and Red Sonja via Wildstorm.
Dynamite hit the news in 2007 when they took over the publication of Garth Ennis' The Boys after it was dropped by Wildstorm.
