10 years, 30 products published (not including merchandising), dozens and dozens of new creators getting their work published for the very first time through Futurius; I gave it a good fair run but now is the time to accept defeat and move on. I will still be putting out books including the Concept Core line, though they will no longer carry the Futurius logo on the covers. I’d also like to say that Fut, the company mascot, will still be appearing from time to time in Concept Core and other books too, along with his buddies the Timebots and all their friends.

A sincere THANK YOU to EVERY SINGLE PERSON who spent money on Futurius over the last ten years! Every sale has been a genuine giddy thrill to receive for me and I thank you warmly for your time, attention and enthusiasm!!

I don’t even know if anyone’s reading this but if you are, please join me – don’t worry, you won’t have to post anything! – in raising an imaginary glass to Futurius, a wonderful little company full of life and energy that sadly couldn’t make it into its second decade. 10 years is a fantastic amount of time for it to’ve kept going though. I’m proud of the company!

I love you, Futurius. You’ve been the dominant force in my life throughout the last ten years and closing you is closing a part of myself. I’m deeply going to miss you.

Fut's Goodbye from the final issue of Tales From The Plex

]]> http://futurius.com/2012/futurius-end/feed/ 4 http://futurius.com/2012/dann-on-tumblr/ http://futurius.com/2012/dann-on-tumblr/#comments Sat, 07 Jan 2012 04:20:41 +0000 Dann http://futurius.com/?p=1821 As previosuly mentioned, Futurius.Com will be shutting down this year when it comes up for renewal. That’ll be the end of Futurius as a company but I’ll still be putting stuff out without a studio/publisher name.

I’m now on Tumblr at PlanetDann.tumblr.com posting art pages regularly. Please, if you’re on Tumblr yourself, follow me or add me to your friends list or whatever. I’m new to Tumblr and still figuring which way up it goes, but it seems pretty good so far. I tried starting one last year but Dann.Tumblr was taken. Got the “Planet Dann” title from Saints Row The Third’s “Planet Saints” stores. Been playing that thing WAY too much lately!

I’m still sad to lose my beloved Futurius but trying to think of it not as losing a company but gaining a planet.

With fondest love from Psyche, Christina and all your friends at Concept Core!!!

Later in the week I’ll be posting a Savior Ex Christmas Special. ‘Til then, stay warm!

My favourite bit:

Described as X-Men meets Police Academy, it’s the story of a bunch of mostly teenagers who have been through various genetic engineering experiments that have altered their DNA and given them fantastic powers, and have been sent (or is that “exiled”) to a private island, dubbed “Metaland”, where they can be themselves. One particular group has been training to learn to use their powers as a special police force, called Meta Force (obviously). Another fun book, Lundie seems @ home writing youthful heroes and, despite the large cast and it being a single issue, he manages to cram quite a bit of info about each of the main characters.

Giggity-goo!
