The new Entertainment magazine “PiQ” that replaced NewType USA, is ending next month. The July 2008 issue will be it’s last. The discontinuation of the publication is due to the lack revenue and bad management. But the possible reason is due to the lack of interest; not only the magazine left us with the good things that made NewType USA, Anime & Manga, it contained extra content for fans of American pop culture. Not just for Otaku. Current subscribers of PiQ/NewType USA will be given details soon on compensation. The magazine made an announcement on the website:

We, the editorial/creative/production staff, did the best we could to put together a quality publication, but as we’ve discovered, without a good financial backing, it’s all an exercise in futility.
