Well, to actually answer your question - they first gained the actual rights to the character (rather than a licence, which I'm pretty sure was the case with the earlier series they did) in 2005 or 2006, and had a series running from early-2007 until this past August.
Darwyn Cooke did the early issues. After he left, there was an anthology issue by a number of different writers and artists, and Mark Evanier and Sergio Argones then took over as the permanent creative team. Mike Ploog was writing and co-pencilling at the end.
Cooke's run (the first 12 issues) is worth reading. The anthology issue was good. Evanier and Argones, as good as they are, just weren't able to capture the charm of either Eisner's original or Cooke's take. I can't comment on what came after them, since I dropped it during their run.
