they launched their first productions through image comics filling a virtually untapped market with three all ages titles lullaby wisdom seeker lions tigers and bears and the imaginaries . all three were successful projects in the independent marketplace particularly lullaby which has seen continuing success since its initial release . also in 2005 alias expanded into a self publishing company with plans to launch 12 titles in april of that year with cover prices of 75 cents . the titles all shipped late and were released irregularly afterwards but landed them a spot with diamond comic distributors as a top 20 publisher . alias comics offered 25 cent preview issues 75 cent introductory issues and 50 000 copies of free to retailer preview books called the comic book digest as marketing efforts but continued to have problems with shipping . in mid 2005 alias chose to move its comic printing stateside but due to the accumulation of problems at the domestic printer decided to go back to its original partner in south korea . the subsequent lapse in shipping going from a domestic printer to a south korean printer resulted in a two to three month lapse in delivery of alias comic books to comic stores . being gone from the shelves for so long created several problems for the fledgling company causing a loss of retailer and consumer confidence . nearly a year after opening their doors several alias comic book creators began to leave the publisher citing various concerns . in 2005 studios monkey pharmacy runemaster studios and dabel brothers productions stopped producing books for publication by alias . in november alias underwent a restructuring plan . 2 its publisher brett burner purchased majority shares of the company in order to take control of the company s financial records . in march 2006 alias announced a new policy toward its creators requiring work to be completed and in hand before being solicited for publication citing an effort to maintain a more exact release schedule . 3 later alias signed an agreement with christian publisher zondervan to produce 24 manga or graphic novels to be released over the next few years through its cross culture division consisting of three 8 book series . 4 these titles included hand of the morningstar kingdoms and the manga bible . also in 2006 alias christian division cross culture entertainment began publication of bubblemag a christian pop culture magazine . 5 in fall 2006 alias executives announced their intention to rebrand alias comics as a christian comic company . within a few weeks abacus comics opened for business . abacus comics is owned solely by miller and was opened for the express purpose of publishing several of his creator owned titles which were initially run through alias comics . in 2007 lamp post inc. obtained full rights to all alias and cross culture properties placing them under its label . publications edit in alphabetical order armorquest
