Speakeasy shuts down
Speakeasy Comics has announced it's shutting down due to low sales and payment problems. The books the company has scheduled to release through May will come out, but everything set for June or later has been canceled. Speakeasy's problems have been developing, with the company struggling to make a dent in the periodical comics market, which is so heavily dominated by DC and Marvel. Speakeasy's Adam Fortier was set to appear on a panel Friday at New York Comic-Con about the future of periodical comics, but canceled due to a personal situation unrelated to the Speakeasy shutdown.
And iBooks, the company founded by Byron Preiss, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Preiss died in an automobile accident last July.
