“Minx was an experimental imprint for DC Comics and we are extremely proud of the books we published and the stories we told during the past two years,” the publisher said in a statement released this morning. “We thank all of the writers and artists who lent their talents to our endeavor and especially thank readers who came along for the ride. DC Comics remains committed to publishing diverse material for diverse audiences as we continue to welcome new readers.”

Update 2: Artist Steve Rolston (Degrassi: Extra Credit, Queen & Country) says that Emiko Superstar, the graphic novel he created with Mariko Tamaki (Skim), will be released next month by Minx. However:

What I hadn’t announced yet was that we had already begun work on a spin-off graphic novel. DC has invited us to re-pitch it as a Vertigo book.
