Dark Horse

MST3K and Dark Horse

I was one of those people who helped with the MST3K Revival Kickstarter project. And there’s usually not a week that goes by without one old episode showing up on my television thanks to the PlutoTV and ShoutFactoryTV apps. So when Dark Horse announced a new partnership with the popular entertainment brand and cult-hit comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), I become downright giddy (maybe not giddy). They’re apparently working on a brand-new comic series as well as a variety of Dark Horse–designed products.
