Let me be clear of at least this: FGU *never* went under.
Yes, the original artwork that Dee rendered is part of the whole deal. However, although he can claim the copyright for the art itself as IP, he drew the pieces paid in full as work for hire, so the only place that it will be sold is by FGU in this adventure.
The Wieck brothers are excited and glad to see this be published at last; Jack and Jeff seem to be the only ones who truly have any sour grapes about it...
You can feel free to discuss it here at a new forum specifically for *all* V&V, regardless the source...

Also, check the FGU website (which is being updated!) for current updates to new to be released items. We're very excited with all that is planned!
