![]() The Times reports that the merger was negotiated by Polarity president Edward Hamati. Oni’s publisher, James Lucas Jones, will be president and publisher of the newly-consolidated effort. When the merger is complete, publishing will be run out of Portland, Ore., where Oni Press is based. He noted that rather than competing with Oni Press in an ever-growing market, the companies decided they could have a “bigger, stronger, singular strategy.” “There’s a lot of alignment, and we were going down the same path,” Lion Forge co-founder David Steward II told the Times. The news follows an announcement that Polarity, Lion Forge’s parent company which David Steward II founded in 2018 to develop Lion Forge characters outside of comics, plans to launch an animation studio. According to the report, the move will allow Lion Forge and Oni to increase their library of original comics and graphic novels, in addition to bringing their characters to other media platforms, including film and animation. The New York Times reports that Lion Forge Comics and Oni Press plan to announce a merger on Wednesday, which would lead to major changes for both companies. ![]()
