History Creator / DarkhorseComics

** ''Halo: Initiation''

Dark Horse publishes a little bit of everything; Indie art comics, a number of "creator-owned" series such as ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' and ''ComicBook/SinCity'', and even licensed comics like ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer: Season 8'' (which was their idea) and (until recently) ''StarWarsExpandedUniverse''. In addition, they were one of the major early publishers of English-translated {{manga}} in the West before the Creator/TokyoPop boom, bringing over titles like ''Manga/{{Akira}}'', ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', ''Manga/GunsmithCats'', ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' and ''Manga/GhostInTheShell''. They also publish paper collections of a number of well-known {{Webcomics}}.

They even had an original universe for a short time in its ''Comics' Greatest World'' imprint, though it was eventually dropped due to poor sales and lack of interest. They also recently gained a subset (Dark Horse Books) dedicated to non-comics and the word-based sort of book. They've also printed all sorts of other things (including a collection of ''{{Playboy}}'' interviews and even health books). It doesn't matter ''what'' it is, Dark Horse will publish it[[note]]Apart from Literature/{{Gor}}, which they abandoned plans to republish following threats of a boycott from female fans[[/note]].
