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.
