'''Finix Comics''' is a [German](/source/Germans) 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](/source/Germany). The comic-market in Germany is not as distinct as, for example, in the [United States](/source/United_States) or [Japan](/source/Japan), nor are comics considered an independently art-form or a serious entertainment medium as in [France](/source/France) or [Belgium](/source/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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ppm-vertrieb.de/ppm-news/342/Fragen-an-Finix-Comics/|title=News - PPM Vertrieb}}</ref> Existing original material thus gets not adapted further, and readers of the series are forced to buy the original comics.<br />
For this reason, several fans grouped together and formed '''Finix Comics''' (''Finix'', or ''Finis'' is French for ''finished''), to continue cancelled series.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.finix-comics.de/willkommen-im-club.html |title=Willkommen im Club - Finix Comics |access-date=2012-03-17 |archive-date=2012-04-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120412223913/http://www.finix-comics.de/willkommen-im-club.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> 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 315 titles, mainly [Franco-Belgian comics](/source/Franco-Belgian_comics) like ''[Les pionniers du nouveau monde](/source/Les_pionniers_du_nouveau_monde)'' by '''J.-F. Charles''', '''Maryse Charles''' and '''Ersel'''; ''[Quetzalcoatl](/source/Quetzalcoatl_(Comic))'' by '''Jean-Yves Mitton'''; ''[Buddy Longway](/source/Buddy_Longway)'' by '''[Derib](/source/Derib)'''; or ''[Vasco](/source/Vasco_(Comic))'' 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.<ref>http://www.comic-report.de/cms/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=123&cntnt01returnid=15</ref>
