"The current issue of PiQ (Issue 4, July 2008) will be our last. It’s unfortunate that we’ll never get a chance to see how successful PiQ could have been, but a combination of low advertising revenue, poor business management and a lack of proper marketing and promotion all hamstrung the magazine from the start. 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. For those readers that were just starting to get behind the magazine, the staff of PiQ gives a hearty “thank you” to all of you for your support. To those of you who subscribed (or were formerly subscribed to NTUSA), more details will be coming soon."

Maybe too much links? Anyway, it said that the magazine has't been cancelled, it seems. But, really looking at the contents for the july issue, I don't get why an ANIME FAN would like to keep buying it. It seems to be about american stuff now. Ugh, my comment doesn’t appear.
