We’re in transit back to civilization today. Full posting resumes tomorrow.
We’ll have more coverage of the Virgin Comics realignment soonish. Three former Virgin freelancers confirmed the company’s publishing shut down in our own comments thread, but elsewhere on the Web, the response seems to be a resounding “So?”…it looks like Virgin never really got a hold of any kind of audience. Another pamphlet publisher down the tubes.

Shame about Virgin. I flipped through an issue here and there at the LCS and nothing about them seemed to grab me.
It seems a hard thing to do, start a comic company, successfully find a market and sell comics.
Some talk of the economy as being a factor, but historically, people have turned to entertainment as a distraction when the times were tough.
I wonder if they still plan on releasing Garth Ennis’s Dan Dare miniseries in a collected format. Anybody have any news on that?
