Read about the release on DigitalBits.com.
Unfortunately, the company releasing it are building a reputation for crappy transfers..

Dang, I was hoping someone like Anchor Bay or Elite would get their hands on this one.
In any case, I thought this film was owned by Fox.

Anyway, I thought the "but..." from the thread title was going to be that it was being released in full screen only. At least that wasn't it.

I have a few of their releases - Awful Truth 1 & 2, Legend of Ron Jeremy and a couple of others - They're not too bad, and the Ron Jeremy Disc has commentary and deleted scenes, so maybe there is some hope.

The same idiots responsible for the Final Countdown disaster. Stay far, far away from anything with their name on it.

I know Night of the Comet isn't a major title but it's well thought of by many and certainly has a decent cult following. I, for one, love it. I don't know why Fox would not either release it themselves or farm it out to a good company.

Too bad this turned out not to be true... Guess I'll go ahead and burn myself a DVD from TiVo (played on Cinemax several months ago) and live with fullscreen for now
