| | NEWSARAMA - DC SHEDS 2000AD/REBELLION & HUMANOIDS |
 | | The alliances with the two publishers was seen as many as a bold move by DC, as well as one aimed at increasing their presence in bookstores, by looking to Europe, rather than exclusively to Asia for material to import. |
 | | However, both the 2000AD and Humanoids lines - despite presenting some of the most acclaimed comics to come from Europe in the past two decades — failed to catch on both in the direct market, and more importantly, as Newsarama’s Brian Hibbs noted, in the bookstore market. |
 | | Hibbs said: “CMX, 2000AD, and Humanoids are all putatively ‘book store imprints,’ yet of all of the 2004 releases, only one makes the chart — volume 1 of Land of the Blindfolded with a, frankly, pathetic 1270 copies sold. |
