Manga anthology folds
MangaBlog —
... Big news, but be warned the site is NSFW: The adult manga anthology Comic AG, published by Icarus Comics, is folding. Publisher Simon Jones says the magazine is breaking even, and that in a way it is a victim of its own success, having established a market that is now better served by trades.

... Simon Jones of Icarus publishing, one of the few vocal voices of publishing to the manga community, has announced (link nsfw) the end of their anthology, Comics AG. A publisher of hentai manga (and proud of it), Simon explains the reason for Comics AG’s origin, and for it’s inevitable demise. It’s really a shame that anthologies can’t make it in the US. With every one I read, I become more convinced of their merit. ...
