As the third largest publisher I would not call them an "indy" publisher though I don’t care what they say about both Dark Horse and Image, they are still publishing some of the best comics outside of the two giants (Marvel/DC) it will be interesting to see if they can gain ground on them in the future.

Have they really sunk that far? " Short answer: yes. They're at about the same level. In September, Dark Horse had a dollar share of 3.55%, and Image had 3.51%. Image had the edge in unit share, for whatever that's worth. But it's been like this for years; Image stopped being a major commercial force years ago (hardly surprising when you lose Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee's studios, and replace them with a sort of super-indie small press operation). “Ok, they’re leaving out the manga publishers, but what about Image?
