Postponed, Not Canceled at Tokyopop? Is that like how ADV still publishes manga? Date: 8/15/2008 |
|
According to a new article published today at Publisher?s Weekly Comics Week, Tokyopop Marketing Director Marco Pavia has stated that many of the books listed as ?canceled? in releases on blogs and from Diamond are not actually canceled, just postponed while awaiting a rescheduling. ?However, Pavia says the books on both lists were postponed, not permanently canceled. ?We obviously have restructured our publishing program and are going month by month with fewer titles,? he says. That requires going back to the license holders to discuss the new schedules. ?We are talking about either revising the schedule or looking at alternatives such as online [publication],? he says. While he did not rule out dropping some titles, he says, if that happens, ?We will certainly let everyone know.? ? - Publisher?s Weekly Comics Week I think it?s important to note that Tokyopop has refused to outright state that any title is canceled through any official channels, and the only public reports of complete book cancellations have come from the creators of affected work, like last week?s announcement from Shutterbox creator and Voice Of Gir Rikki Simmons that Shutterbox would not continue with Tokyopop. It?s entirely within Tokyopop?s right to be cagey about their publishing plans, they?ve got no impetus or even reason to announce that they?ve dropped a license? That?s exactly the sort of thing that gives your competitors a competitive edge. That said, a complete list of cancellations was never released, was it? I sort of assumed that the list I got would?ve eventually leaked its way to the net but I suppose not. Well then, in the interests of clarity, here is a list of every title originally scheduled by Tokyopop for release to the book trade in Fall 2008 that is no longer being released to the book trade in Fall 2008. Whether these are eventually coming, or not, not even Tokyopop can say, apparently.
