So what does it mean for APE that their CEO now works for IDW?

I can see IDW making a bigger push in the market for all ages/young readers.

Is APE going under? I am a huge fan of their Poison Elves reboot.

Not sure. I have been trying to dig up some info on the situation. I know their editor was laid off, Brent opened up a LCS in Texas, and David went to IDW as was mentioned above. They still have solicitations each month (although there is only one this month, and it is a re-issue), but a lot of the licensed stuff that they had been doing in the past are not on the radar any more.

That being said, they also just signed a deal with ComiXology. So maybe they are going digital only? Or just offering their backlist?

I'll keep digging.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Richie Rich, Dragon Rider's of Berk, Sesame Street and now Poison Elves. I forsee another one biting the dust.
