CMX (comics) - Shutdown

Shutdown

On May 18, 2010, DC Comics released a statement announcing its intention to shut the CMX brand down, with no new titles being published after July 1, 2010. Their statement, in full, was:

“Over the course of the last six years, CMX has brought a diverse list of titles to America and we value the books and creators that we helped introduce to a new audience. Given the challenges that manga is facing in the American marketplace, we have decided that CMX will cease publishing new titles as of July 1, 2010. The shuttering of the CMX line does not affect the best-selling series Megatokyo which will continue publication, now as a DC Comics title with story and art by Megatokyo's award-winning creator Fred Gallagher. We'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the efforts and dedication of the CMX staff and to thank our fans who have supported CMX. –Co-Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio

At the time of its statement, DC could not state what would happen to all current unfinished volumes affected by the July 1st shutdown date.
