Simpsons Comics is cancelled, because Bongo is shuttering.

I hope Titan gets the licence. They already do a reprint magazine and the trade paperbacks in the UK.

Genuinely sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed the titles I read of theirs.
It would be cool if Archie got the license in the States. Archie's always had market penetration that Bongo didn't, for the most part.
But 25 years is a hell of a run and a lot of Comics Companies have come and gone since then (and a bunch never survived the 90's, period).
Except for one thing - Disney don't control Fox yet, and Bongo wasn't owned by Fox anyway, Matt Groening owns it.
Also, Bongo also publishes Spongebob Squarepants, so presumably that's cancelled as well.

The "horror line" is all over the place as to if/when it gets published these days. It seem like the newer titles may do okay, but I don't know long they'll be "on going" or if they are more of a limited run.
Afterlife with Archie, as far as I'm aware, still hasn't published any issues since maybe late 2016?
I didn't even realize Simpsons comics were still a thing. I forget the show is still running until I hear it's been renewed again.
At least Supernatural has something to strive for I suppose.

Solicits have now confirmed that. Says that Spongebob is going on hiatus... until it gets a new #1 at a new publisher I guess. And the cover for Simpsons has both the original and modern Bongo logos on it. The old logo is only normally used on their website nowadays, so that's a clear sign that it's the publisher's last comic.

Exactly. I'll actually be surprised if either Simpsons or Spongebob starts a new volume at a new publisher and it doesn't start from scratch at #1.

Dang, always sad to see people go out of business, hope all of them find new jobs soon. The Simpsons comic was pretty funny, though I won't pretend like I was a regular reader or anything. 245 Issues is a hell of a run in modern comics.
The current issue of Titan UK's version of Simpsons Comics, issue 19, includes the story from issue 244, with 245's content due next issue. I won't be surprised if issue 20 is the last due to exhaustion of the source material.
