History

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

Although successful, the Go! Comi imprint was shut down in 2009 due to a dramatic decline in manga sales during the U.S. recession.The official website stopped being updated in early 2010 and expired in May of that year. [4]

In 2011, the site was allegedly relaunched under new owners with instructions to donate to a PayPal account to revive the publisher. Former Go! Comi creative director Audry Taylor confirmed that the new website was a scam not associated with the defunct imprint. [5]
