When I heard Fangoria was launching their own comic line, the first thing that came to my mind was; “I wonder how long that will last?” Well the answer is… not very long. Fangoria just sent out a press release stating:

“”It became more and more apparent with the recent closings of several divisions and the lay-offs that accompanied them, other announced projects like Vampirella that failed to materialize and the fact that we received virtually no marketing or promotional support in any way, not even in the company’s own Fangoria or Starlog magazines, that there may be trouble ahead,” said former Fango Comics head Scott Licina in the release. “But I couldn’t have imagined, after already soliciting and selling subscriptions for titles that ran well into the beginning of 2008, that it would be only two months and four days after our first book hit the shelves that we would be closed down.”

The sad thing is that according to our comic reviewer Mike Fish (Read His Reviews Here) the comics were actually pretty good, so some fans may be a little upset to see them go. However since most of the comics are creator owned, this does not mean they are 100% dead, there is still a chance that some of them may find a new life. If you were a fan, keep your fingers crossed and maybe your favorite will return from the grave.
