Finix Comics is a German comic publisher and a cooperative with the goal to continue prematurely cancelled comic-series in Germany.

Founding

Finix Comics was founded in November 2007 by comic-enthusiasts unhappy with the situation of the publishing history of comic-series in Germany. The comic-market in Germany is not as distinct as, for example, in the United States or Japan, nor are comics considered an independently art-form or a serious entertainment medium as in France or Belgium. Therefore, comic series are more often than not prematurely cancelled in their German-language adaption; sometimes in the midst of a storyline, while the original series continues well beyond this.[1] Existing original material thus gets not adapted further, and readers of the series are forced to buy the original comics.
For this reason, several fans grouped together and formed Finix Comics (Finix, or Finis is French for finished), to continue cancelled series.[2] To this goal, the members of Finix obtain the rights to adapt the original material, and translate, letter, print and distribute any missing issues, continuing the series in Germany.

Publications

Starting in 2008, Finix translated, lettered and released more than 80 titles, mainly Franco-Belgian comics like Les pionniers du nouveau monde by J.-F. Charles, Maryse Charles and Ersel; Quetzalcoatl by Jean-Yves Mitton; Buddy Longway by Derib; or Vasco by Gilles Chaillet and Frédéric Toublanc. In 2009 the imprint Edition Solitaire was founded; Solitaire is dedicated to exclusive high-quality albums not published in German before.[3]
