Nope. After Devil’s Due burned everyone who was reading the Legend of Huma series I stopped getting all of their books. (I was getting 3 a month before and looking at getting on the D&D books too.)

They had issues with getting the last issue of the comic out… It’s been resolved and instead of releasing the last issues by itself, which admittedly after the long delay they would lose money on, they released the whole series as a graphic novel.Eric Anondson said:
I don’t do graphic novels, and I don’t want to invest another 15 dollars when I was 3 dollars from completing the whole series.
My actions aren’t that of protest, I understand the bottom line issues; I simply don’t trust them anymore.

I feel just the opposite, actually. I looked at a few preview pages online when I first heard about it, didn't care for the artwork, but thought I'd give the full issue a try this past Wednesday. Flipped through it at the store, and still didn't care for the art. I thought Tika looked very ugly (she's supposed to be beautiful), couldn't understand why Tasslehoff's face was so angular (unnaturally so), and mostly, I just didn't care for the artist's particular choice of angles and "shots" for the scenes he was rendering. I felt the same way about the other Devil's Due D&D project recently, the Dark Elf series. So I didn't buy this one.
On the other hand, the Legend of Huma had great artwork, and actually was a really good adaptation of a story that I really loathed, which is pretty amazing. I'd highly recommend that one, though I'm not sure if the trade paperback of it has been released or not yet.

Wellllllllllll... The Legend of Huma, also a Dragonlance comic, was only 5 issues long… They only published four.msd said:That's too bad it worked out that way. Truth be told, it wasn't a shop that I was very familiar with and I am not too concerned as this is only an 8 book series (hopefully, they won't screw up anything in the course of the 8 books).

I'll probably take a look at it when it's in TBP form.

Not their fault BS, I spoke with a fellow named Josh. The word is, that legal tangling got in their way, from the opposite party, not on them. The last part of Legend of Huma #6 will be out in November. And that will be it, for a while. The whole experience has left a sour taste for them.
It is stressed again, they were happy to complete the series, but somewhere along the line, legal law got in the way.
*talking as a* comic book collector...

Well they left the same taste in my mouth... I've been to their message boards, I've talked to their costumer service, and as I said before I no longer trust them and I will believe it when I see it.
(If they manage to get the issue out I’ll pick it up, but like them, that will be it for me for a while.)
