April 28th 2008 - The new season is here!!
by Michael Jay

Hey folks, Michael Jay here. I'll be helping Lee run the Virtual Mutant website for the foreseeable future.

The summer season's starts up this month with a new season of Connor. Slayer Academy returns for its fourth season in May and Daniel Loach's new series, Rift premieres this July. You can check out the Rift website now from the main page. Faith is finishing up its fourth season run this coming Sunday.

Looking a bit into the future, this coming fall will see the premiere of Hell's Gate, a new series from Robb House. 2009 brings the fifth (and final) seasons of Faith and Slayer Academy along with a new series from a staff member on those of those shows. Li Robb will present Into Our Generation, which promises a unique take on the Slayer mythos. Also, yet another Connor based movie. More details on all of those to come soon!

Lastly, the VDVD should be back up shortly. The big site revamp of VM and MZP-TV still has us all a bit out of sorts, but everything will be straightened out in due time. If I can offer just a quick shill, you can download the season one VDVD boxset for Connor from the media page on the show's website.

Things have admittedly be a bit quiet on the Virtual Mutant front of late, but we promise plenty of Jossverse content for years to come!
