Circle of Confusion will represent Big Blast in a management capacity, and both companies will develop the other's properties for their respective media. There will be a Circle of Confusion branded comic from Oni in 2003. This Big Blast is not the same company as the Big Blast toys, despite a common owner (Bob Chapman of Graphitti).
