{{
A relatively small [[Comic Book]] company . It started out jumping the "[[Nineties Anti-Hero|Bad Girls]]" bandwagon, taking the fad to its logical conclusion - in other words, they published a lot supernaturally flavored near-porn. Sometime around 2001, the EIC realized that porn alone wasn't going to cut it. The company approached a number of established writers and offered them an opportunity to publish their creator-owned comics without any content restrictions whatsoever. [[Warren Ellis]] latched onto them ''hard'', resulting in them becoming known as "[[Brand Name Takeover|The guys who print those awesome Warren Ellis comics no sane publisher would touch with a cattle prod]]"... along with loads of near-porn.
