Another "Dead Universe"

Post by Lightning Strike »

Event Comics is no longer publishing anything. Series like Ash are dead. Even their website is dead---there's nothing on it, it's a dead link.
So this company should be added to the DU list.

I wouldn't doubt that. Not that you don't have a lot of those comics, but when I was checking the list, there was a TON of variant issues.

Take your time they have been in my box-o-Quesada for years and a month or so won't hurt.

One could argue that the Event "universe" survives in Dynamite's PAINKILLER JANE comic.

yep, the original Painkiller Jane title was put out by Event, I picked a copy of the first issue out of a cheap bin when I heard about the TV show.

Originally it was. But it's now published by Dynamite. All the other Event titles are defunct though.

The current PAINKILLER JANE series is published by Dynamite and is by original creators (and Event founders) Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti.

I guess it depends on your definition of "universe". If by that word you mean the company that produced the books, then, yes, I'd agree that Event Comics is currently dead. If by "universe" you're referring to the world in which the characters published by a particular company inhabit, then there's an argument that that "universe" still exists in the PAINKILLER JANE series. I only have the #0 issue of the current series, but it's my understanding that the current series is a continuation of the Event series (supported by the fact that Dynamite recently released a trade collecting the Event issues).

And, I believe, the TV show was cancelled (unless it was somehow revived).

^What he said.

There's a strong link between the current Dynamite series and the Event series.

I saw an ad for the PKJ tv show just the other day. It would seem it is back on Sci-Fridays and still has no basic connection to the comic. Have the 22 Brides even shown up?

I'll end up posting a Event DU thread/list here soon. To me it is a dead universe until I see a comic with the Event lable on it. I am not going to get wrapped around the axel in semantics on whether something is dead or not... bottom line, no more Event comics as of this time. Fits the bill for me. This could also be the housing facility for the 'odd-ball' comic collections that we lean towards. :thumb:
