History[edit | edit source]

CMX was launched by DC Comics in 2004 as a way to enter the growing manga market in North America. The imprint aimed to bring a diverse range of manga titles to English-speaking audiences, including genres such as shōnen, shōjo, and seinen.

Notable Titles[edit | edit source]

Some of the notable titles published by CMX include:

Controversies[edit | edit source]

CMX faced criticism early on for its handling of the manga Tenjho Tenge. Fans were displeased with the heavy censorship and editing of the original content, which led to a backlash against the imprint. Despite this, CMX continued to publish a variety of titles until its closure.

Closure[edit | edit source]

In May 2010, DC Comics announced that CMX would cease operations. The decision was part of a larger restructuring within DC Comics and its parent company, Warner Bros. The closure marked the end of CMX's six-year run in the manga publishing industry.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

Despite its relatively short lifespan, CMX made a significant impact on the availability of manga in North America. It introduced many readers to a variety of genres and series that might not have otherwise been accessible.
