Sequel Series
The so-called black and white comics "explosion" of 1986-87 was
actually a disaster for most small-press comic book publishers. It
enriched the coffers of a few sleaze merchants, but it destroyed
publishers who were unable or unwilling to play the
false-collectibles game. Think of it as an echo of the junk bonds
phenomenon that decimated Wall Street at roughly the same time, or
a teeny-tiny H/O scale model of the dot-com madness that would
engulf the Internet world a decade later. Whatever you call it, it
brought the Matrix Graphic Series experiment to a screeching halt,
and Northguard went homeless for three years. After an abortive
merger with a major Montreal magazine publisher, Matrix finally
reached an agreement with Michigan-based Caliber Press to publish
the last three issues of the series. Caliber also published a
trade paperback graphic novel reprinting the first five Matrix
issues under one cover.
