CrossGen is dead... so's my computer

Lindy's exclamation from Solus gives this blog its name. Not that anyone there is going to be using it. The Crossgen comics all still seem to be available, but the company itself seems to have gone belly up. The old issues are all still there, but the new ones have stopped coming.

Not that I should be surprised. Nothing good lasts forever. Just as the stories are starting to converge in interesting ways, they pull the plug and leave us hanging. Yeah, that's lots of Internet features that were interesting while they lasted (Dear Lizzie was a favorite pre-blog online journal I read), but it goes all the way through life: the books I've read that I didn't want to end, the TV series that didn't last a whole season, the movies that I wanted to experience for the first time again, my first time being in love.

Or the first computer I had that wasn't a laptop. That computer sits at home more or less dead: he got a gut replacement, but didn't survive. Is that the way it'll happen with us?
