My article is now up on PopCultureShock, a recap of recent Speakeasy-related posts here mixed with some great feedback from a few more Speakeasy creators affected by the collapse.

Speakeasy Shuts Its Doors: A Cautionary Tale

It's been less than 90 days since we first reported on fledgling publisher Speakeasy Comics' making waves with their announcement of a stricter policy regarding minimum thresholds for comic books they distribute, and since then, those waves have claimed several victims, but none bigger than Speakeasy Comics itself.
I was up until 3am pulling this together and am running on fumes now, still trying to catch up on sleep from the Con this weekend. As a result of this story breaking last night, I'm also another day behind on pulling together our Con coverage!

Calgon...!
