Over at the Comic Foundry Magazine site, Editor-in-Chief Tim Leong announced today the cancellation of the magazine, after next issue.
Comic Foundry means the world to me, which is why it saddens me to an unexplainable extent to say that our next issue will be our last. I’m sorry to admit that I’ve reached the unfortunate point where my career no longer allows enough time to do the magazine.
He goes on to thank the fans and his “right hand woman” Laura Hudson, who recently relocated to the Portland area, largely considered to be the “other” center of the comics world (with New York City of course being the first).
The magazine was a fun and different way of reading about comics, and was definitely doing something different (and far more enjoyable) than Wizard Magazine. It’s interesting, and a shame, that Leong feels he should cancel the magazine altogether rather than have anyone take over or take a backseat and provide the minimal assistance he feels he’d be able to for now. The early February issue is still on track, and Leong assures fans this was a personal, not a financial, decision.
