Wildstorm has reported today it will cease operations at the end of December this year.
From a personnel standpoint the good news is they will all report into Jim Lee and John Rood at DC comics Digital comics team.
All Wildstorm titles, licensing and kid comics will go under the DC banner after the end of the year. Though we are not sure if and when any of those properties will show up next year.
How quickly 20 years past since the Wildstorm Brand was launched, but in these tough economic times it is hard to go it alone. Sale just have not been there to support the go forward business model, so I am not surprised by the news.
I wish the best for the team, I have read many good things about the team, and DC will have this asset to use and drive their business. Hope DC doesn't screw up a good thing!
