Elfquest, one of the first breakout indie comics of the 1970s, is ending its 40-year-run with today's issue. There's a farewell signing with creators Wendy and Richard Pini tonight [Wednesday] at Things From Another World in Portland[, Oregon]...

[...] "A number of interviews sprang up this week but those with The Hollywood Reporter and SyFy are best. Both contain spoilers! "

There'll be more Elfquest in future, the Pinis say, but this wraps up the tale for their towheaded Wolfrider chief Cutter and his family.

    Yeah Star Trek survived, but not with the same characters, in the same continuity, with the same canon and not without being rebooted.

    Never heard of "Warp Life" so no comment.

    This is the end of ElfQuest in the same way the end of ST:TOS was "the end" of Star Trek.

    It isn't. Not by a long shot.

    Since you're such an expert trekker, you're supposed to remember that Gene died during the production of TNG.

    Warp Life is MichaelDavidCrawford's homepage which contains fictional essays about the mental illnesses which he pretends to have.

      What made you think I was an expert Trekker? I just know there have been a bunch of ST series that didn't have Shatner, a movie reboot that apparently pretty much broke everything, and from what I've heard the latest series breaks/ignores almost everything the movie didn't. And the Gene died somewhere in the middle of all that, ST hasn't been on my "I care about ..." list for a long time.

      Also, thanks for the heads up on "Warp Life", now I know what not to spend my time reading :)
