Here's a nice little piece about Geppi's public congratulations to Boom! Studios, who swept in and snapped up the Disney comic book license after struggling Gemstone Publishing (owned by Geppi and thus part of the Diamond family) said they would not renew their license. Gemstone still exists despite closing one of their offices and a round or two of layoffs; they're still responsible for the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide and, I think, they still hold the license to EC Comics, but as I recall, the future of that license at Gemstone is questionable, too.
