Newtype USA comes to an end

ADV's wildly popular anime magazine Newtype USA, in publication for five years and 66 issues, will cease publication this February, as its last issue hits newsstands. Word is that ADV will be replacing Newtype with another magazine. No information has been provided as of yet on the currently untitled publication. Newertype anyone?

This is definitely good news for the competing American anime magazines, namely the veteran Protoculture Addicts, Anime Insider, and the startup Otaku USA. Newtype has been a significant force in the American anime industry for the past few years, and it will be a shame to watch it disappear.
