Yup.
Alias Enterprises ,the comic book house that publishes Yenny, is going Christian now.
This, of course, means that Yenny won't be published by them anymore and neither are a lot of other titles.
Altough I'm sad because Yenny doesn't have a publishing house anymore, I'm very happy because of them.
Mike Miller and Brett Burner are very brave making this move and as a Christian myself, I have to wish them the best in this new project! It was great working with you.
Way to go guys! Let the good Lord guide you on the way, man!!!

Here's the Press Release:
Alias Enterprises Re-defines Their Vision: Christian Comics are where it's at!
October 3, 2006
La Mesa, CA – mid-level publisher Alias Comics announced today that they will be focusing their publishing efforts in and around the Christian market.
In May of 2005, Alias comics opened its doors by launching 12 books into the comic book marketplace, cementing their place in history as the independent comic book company with the largest number of launch titles ever. Several of those books were Christian titles and the founders of Alias, Brett Burner and Mike S. Miller, made no bones about the fact that they were both Christians. "Yeah, we are Christians running a comic book company that is Christian friendly, though primarily secular in what we produce.", said Brett Burner at the time.
Since that time, however, Alias has garnered more and more interest from the Christian market and mainstream Christian publishers. From the work on Ted Dekker's 'Saint', a promotional comic book produced and distributed for Thomas Nelson Publishing, to a 24 book deal with Zondervan publishing, a division of Harper Collins, as well as plans to develop the popular Christian video series, 'Angel Wars' into comic format, it is clear that there is a bright future for Alias comics and comics in general in the Christian world.
Talks with these and other Christian authors and publishers have pushed the young company into a direction they are perfectly willing to go. "We're going 'all' Christian". Said Mike S. Miller, co-founder of Alias. "It's just obvious that Alias needs to do this, and all the time and effort that goes into publishing other peoples work for the secular market is taking time and effort away from the work where Alias is finding the most success financially as well as spiritually."
What does this mean for the 'secular' books that Alias produces, including some of Miller's own titles? "We're going to help our studios find new homes for their books as much as we can. The last thing we want to do is leave them in the lurch after they've helped us become what we are today. I'll be making an announcement soon about where my own titles will land.", concluded Miller.
ABOUT ALIAS ENTERPRISES, LLC
