At Same Hat!, confirmation that Dark Horse will not be printing any more volumes of Junji Ito anthology Museum of Terror. A dark, dark day indeed for the forces of good.
The series sold poorly, apparently. There might be a couple of reasons for that: (1) the book didn’t seem well distributed, either in the Direct Market or in bookstores; (2) the book wasn’t well marketed; and/or (3) the rough, early material in the volumes they did publish scared off readers unfamiliar with Ito’s later work.
But for some reason I feel like picking option (4)–blame Joe Quesada.
Are you happy now, Joe? You made bunny cry.

This is really, really terrible. It’s a curse for society. Almost like a downward spiral. Like society is caught up in some kind of spiral. Like everything is twisting into some demented spiral. Fuck.
