Go! Comi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Go! Comi was the publishing imprint of the American multimedia company, , LLC,[1] established to "specializ(e) in publishing Japanese comics for the American market, and in creating new manga and manga-oriented properties for both the Japanese and American markets".[2]

History[]

Go! Comi was launched in 2005[1] by writer David Wise and his colleague Audry Taylor; the former served as the company's CEO, with the latter as creative director.[3] They published such best-selling series as the Eisner-nominated After School Nightmare, Cantarella, Her Majesty's Dog, Tenshi Ja Nai!! and Crossroad.

The imprint was shut down during the manga bust that followed the recession.[4] The official website stopped being updated in early 2010 and expired in May of that year.[5]

In 2011, the site was relaunched under new owners with instructions to donate to a PayPal account to revive the publisher, but former Go! Comi creative director Audry Taylor confirmed that the new website was a scam not associated with the defunct imprint.[6]
