Now for a while I've wondered what happened to Hexagon and Wanga comics. If you are new here you may wish to check out my interview with Jean Marc Lofficer -naturally our French readers will want to!

And on the bus home from shopping, delayed by roadworks I wondered again. So, turn on my computer and there is an email from Jean Marc!!
Wow. And has he been busy. So rather that hack and slash his email I'll reproduce it here with some added artwork.
PLEASE check the links because there is some incredible stuff!
Anyway, over to Jean-Marc:
Hi Terry,
I thought I would briefly update you on what;'s going on with Hexagon Comics.
I'll
start by providing you with a "table of contents" here on our French
Riviere Blanche site which lists & details pretty much all of what
follow
1)
The "classic reprint" tpb line à l Marvel Essentials or DC Showcase
continues monthly, and strongly. There are now 40+ volumes.
2)
We've added licensed prose volumes, more specifically two novels
(featuring the Hexagon Group -- our "aveners") and two short story
collections, also available as e-books.
3) We've added a licensed RPG (separate link):
4)
I'm afraid we've terminated the Wanga
license (amicably) and regrouped all the STRANGERS titles under our own
banner. This now includes three TPBs, STRANGERS 0 (a collection of
prologue stories), STRANGERS Season 1 TPB and STRANGERS Season 2 TPB
(ewhich collects all 7 single comics put out by Wanga + an 8th new
story)
5)
We've embarked on STRANGERS Season 3 in the form of 48-page, b&w,
squarebound monthly "prestige format" books -- 7 issues have been
released so far. Here is a link to a cover gall;erry of past
& future issues:
6) Parallel to STRANGERS, we're also doing a line of color comics featuring "LE GARDE REPUBLICAIN" (in
English: Guardian of the Republic) -- 3 issues so far + an Annual coming out for Xmas.
7)There
are a few other odds & ends such as a DICK DEMON hardcover, a WWII
story (Les Partisans) and the forthcoming Kabur color graphic novel
(also hardcover).
8) Finally, we've begun uploading our vast catalog on comixology:
Our 2015 program is quite full already; let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
jm
We do have two recent books in English, that can be ordered through our site, amazon etc. or in e-media on comixology:
I've had a quick look at the site and must admit I got very excited. I think I'm going to have to start saving those pennies now!
-- STRANMGERS SEASON 1 #1 to 6
-- GUARDIAN OF THE REPUBLIC #1
I've had a quick look at the site and must admit I got very excited. I think I'm going to have to start saving those pennies now!
