PiQ Magazine Reaches Its Peak

AD Vision’s PiQ Magazine has formally announced that its current fourth issue, cover dated July 2008, will be the publication’s final issue. Continued production of the magazine has been canceled due to, “a combination of low advertising revenue, poor business management and a lack of proper marketing and promotion.” The entertainment culture magazine launched in March as a successor to the discontinued Newtype USA anime magazine.

The formal announcement begins with the statement, “It’s unfortunate that we’ll never get a chance to see how successful PiQ could have been.” But doesn’t the very fact that the statement is being made demonstrate PiQ’s relative success?
