Alive?
Dead?

They no longer print comics, and only release The Deadbeats as a webcomic now of days.

i voted no because they have a well-organized website for purchasing. also, how do we know they dont just go ahead and print more comics to match the demand? i am very weary of companies that pretend to have first edition books but really are a print-on-demand company thereby destroying any value of their books.

They do have an unofficial forum if you are particularly interested.

The man that runs that forum is not well liked in this neck of the woods.

If they're a dead universe then why isn't there a list of their titles?

Probably because they lost the license.
