Red Eagle to discontinue publication of NEW SPRING

Red Eagle Entertainment, the publishing company behind the New Spring graphic novel, has issued this press release:

 

Dear Fans of the New Spring Comic:

 

We hope that you have enjoyed our past issues of Robert Jordan's New Spring

comic series. However, we have some important news to share with you

concerning the future availability of this publication. As you may know, Red

Eagle Entertainment is the publisher of New Spring, and is responsible for the

printing and distribution of each issue.

 

The actual production of the New Spring comic series has been overseen by

Dabel Brothers Production (DB Pro), who is responsible for the preparation of

each issue, along with a team of independent artists, writers and colorists that

they hire, supervise and manage.

 

From the beginning, New Spring has been beset by a series of production

setbacks. Despite repeated efforts by DB Pro to manage these problems, the

production delays have continued unabated and Red Eagle did not receive Issue

No. 6 when due. Moreover, all availability targets for the remaining issues in the

New Spring series have been missed. In addition, there have been major

changes in the creative team over the past months, causing increased effort to

maintain a consistent and quality look for the series.

 

As the publisher of New Spring, we sincerely apologize for all of these past

delays. Red Eagle has been acutely sensitive to all of the concerns voiced by

our direct subscribers, as well as by our retail customers, local comic shops and

Diamond Comics, our U.S. distributor for New Spring.

 

We agree that these accumulated delays have become unacceptable. However,

our contract for the publication of New Spring does not give Red Eagle the right

to complete the New Spring series on its own or in tandem with another

production partner. Moreover, our repeated efforts to reach a meaningful

solution with DB Pro have been unsuccessful, as have our discussions with a

representative of Robert Jordan.

 

With no reasonable alternative available, and after considerable reflection, Red

Eagle is reluctantly announcing it will cease the publication of New Spring. While

the cancellation of this comic series is a major disappointment for Red Eagle, our

real concern is for the many fans around the world that will be deprived of the

experience of reading the final installments of the New Spring story.

 

We truly regret that we are unable to finish the New Spring comic series.

Although future events are outside of our control, we remain open to any change

in circumstances that may one day permit Red Eagle to complete the New Spring

comic at the standards of quality and punctuality that fans of the series deserve.

 

We thank you for your understanding.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Red Eagle Entertainment

 

Red Eagle is the brand management company for The Wheel of Time, and also the company which is planning to produce a big-budget film based on The Eye of the World.
