Most of the articles I saw in a Google search are from 2020.

Which is really disconcerting from my perspective.

We got Milestone's return so it's not a complete loss but it's shame Catalyst prime never got off the ground. Covid probably did it in.

While I've always gotten the comparison between Catalyst Prime being a spiritual successor to Milestone, from my perspective, Lionforge and its Catalyst Prime extension had become enough of their own thing with their own shared, interconnected universe with stories worth getting invested in that getting Milestone back isn't a consolation to seemingly having lost Catalyst Prime.
All to say, I want Catalyst Prime. :(

Interesting timing.
I don't think this mentions the fate of the books, particularly the Catalyst Prime ones. I wonder what will come of them going forward?

It's a hope for the best prepare for the worse kinda situation.

Hmm. I see.
Most likely scenario is that they will publish less titles than before. It's what Valiant is doing currently. So we'll get 1 or 2 books a month.
Note: this thread is being unstickied since it has been dormant for over a year and a half, and it appears Lion Forge has been dormant/defunct under Oni Press.
If this situation changes, feel free to revive the thread, and we can always sticky it again if the franchise picks up steam again.
Was this universe given a farewell issue or did it just end abruptly?
IIRC, the owners of Oni Press basically gutted Lion Forge last year, laying off most of the staff. Lion Forge is currently to Oni Press what CrossGen currently is to Marvel--it's there, but filed away in a closet somewhere...
