DC Comics to Shut Down CMX Manga Imprint in July

The American publisher Dan DiDio offered the following statement:

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 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 ed CMX.

The About.com website reports that details about CMX's other unfinished titles are still being worked out.

Update: Seven books — Orfina Vol. 8 — will still ship to stores next month.

DC Comics drew criticism for its editing, although CMX's other titles would largely remain unedited.

Later CMX titles Broken Blade, Polyphonica: Cardinal Crimson, and other titles.
