In 1995, Drew Hayes broughtPoison Elves to Sirius; and, in 2000, according to Sirius publisher Robb Horan, Hayes "signed a long-term agreement for the property that was specifically intended to allow for an expanding universe and an unhindered continuation of the relationship under any circumstances."[1] With Sirius, Hayesproduced another 79 issues ofPoison Elves and a color special, the last of which was published in September 2004.[1] In addition, during this period, Sirius published a number ofPoison Elves short series and one-shots, most of which were produced by other creative teams.
Hayes died in late 2007,[5] bringingPoison Elves to an abrupt end, as well as the rest of the company's production.[1] The company's last original published work was Hayes' autobiography,Deathreats, in 2009.
By 2010, the company's line of back issues was being sold by co-founder Robb Horan via his website CosmicTherapy.com.
In 2013, Horan acknowledged that there were "rumors of the demise of Sirius Entertainment."[1] He made a licensing agreement withApe Entertainment to continue publishingPoison Elves, with a new title calledDrew Hayes Poison Elves, based on Hayes' outline for future issues. As Horan acknowledged:
.... The business plan was disrupted rather severely in 2007 when Drew passed away. Due to his health issues, it had already been almost three years since his last original issue in 2004. With a lack of new material being produced, it was not surprising that we lost our place in [Diamond Comic Distributors]Previews. Nonetheless, we have managed to stay afloat through the worst in anticipation of exactly where we are today; acting as a holding company forPoison Elves.[1]
Written by Horan and illustrated by Osvaldo Pestana Montpeller, the new series picked up almost precisely at the cliffhanger point at the end of the originalPoison Elves issue #79. Only three issues were published before the series abruptly ended, a casualty of Ape Entertainment's own troubles.[6]
By 2021 the Sirius Entertainment website, sirius-entertainment.com, had changed hands, and by 2023 no longer worked at all.
