Quote:The comics publishing culling of 2011 claimed its most prominent victimOne question that seems to be unanswered so far is what will happen with the rights for new works that were published through Tokyopop. Or at least any of the creators I've spotted online wondering that haven't reported getting an answer yet. Comes down to contracts, and probably in part whether they expect to ever want to reprint something (if the contract says they don't have to revert rights yet, and they do without a fight, either they really like you or they really don't care about the work :/).
as it was announced today that Tokyopop is shutting down its US
operations, as of May 31. The German office will stay open to handle
publishing rights and the film division will continue.
