Firebreather: A brief rant
Does anyone know what happened with this comic? It seemed to be popular one day and the next day disappeared.
Just for some background, I began reading this comic a while after it first came out, probably later into its 2nd volume. Each volume was essentially a standalone mini-series, but with hints of a bigger story.
Based on my understanding it seemed to be fairly popular. I met the artist and writer once at NYCC, I think at the height of its popularity, just before the 3rd volume came out. I remember they both were very enthusiastic about the series.
Cartoon Network even made a TV movie based off of it. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. But still, this proves it must have been popular, at least somewhat.
The comic series itself had a lot going for it.
The story was great and engaging with a good cast of likable characters.
It had a good amount of comedic moments,
Endearing moments as well,
It also had one of the strangest and rather confusing romances in comics.
(This was a joke in the movie).
Simultaneously with the TV movie, the 3rd volume, Holmgang was being released.
A big cliffhanger, which had been hinted at previously through volume 2.
And the nothing, just a quiet cancellation. Even after a google search, there is very little news about this series. The only information I could find was on the Midtown Comics website, listing vol 3 #3 as “cancelled”.
There has been no other acknowledgement that it was cancelled, which is kind of sad. It was a very fun series and its too bad this series just disappeared with little fanfare.
