Marvel is laying off some staff

In a sign that they're far from doing well in sales, Marvel's let go of 15-16 staff members, in efforts to cut costs. They've also canceled at least 3 series.

It remains to be seen just how much longer it'll be before they may be shut down. I'm wishing that this'll lead to the publishing arm being bought out by a better ownership. But that's obviously a pipe dream that may never come to pass.
