Equestria Daily is sad to report that the second issue of the
Hasbro Toy Box Quarterly (Diamond Code: DEC170521) was canceled
in March of 2018.
News of comic cancellations usually fall under the radar, usually because there is always shiny new comics being released or announced at any given moment. The news eventually gets out once someone asks the question "Hey, I wonder what happened to that?"
While the cancellation is disappointing, it is not unsurprising. Repackaged reprints, meaning Trade Paperbacks, do not sell well at comic book shops. Dedicating an entire floppy to nothing but reprint materials was a risky venture. Made even more so by the price point of $5.99.
Taking IDW's library of Hasbro Licensed comics, and repacking them together in Hasbro Themed release is a good idea. This cancellation ended up being a case of a good idea executed the wrong way.
I'll explain why after the break.
