#393488: Letter from Raijin: Raijin Comics, GNs, Master Edition on hiatus
03/13/04 05:43 PM
Today's mail brought a letter from Raijin, saying that Raijin Comics, Raijin Graphic Novels, and Master Edition books were going on hiatus, with issue 46 of the comic anthology the last one subscribers would receive. The letter included a check reimbursing me for the balance of my subscription (at $3.95 per issue after 46).
The reason for this?
'Based on our research with readers, retailers and distributors, we have come to a conclusion - our publications, though appreciated by hard core manga fans, are not penetrating a larger market.'
With Raijin Comics et al. on hiatus, what will Raijin be doing?
'We will be taking time out to come up with ways to broaden the appeal of our publications, retooling stories and overall editorial content.'
The letter included contact information for those with questions or problems concerning their reimbursement checks.
A quick glance at Raijin's site showed no signs of this announcement, though their release calendar lists nothing beyond issue 46 in June (the last listed GNs are City Hunter 5 and Slam Dunk 5, both in April). "
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
