PORTLAND, Ore. — Hiveworks Comics is winding down operations over the course of 2025 to focus primarily on its web services: hosting, ads, and technical support for webcomic artists.
Its print and publishing division, which include producing, licensing, marketing, and distributing comics, will close. All comics for which Hiveworks has printing and publishing rights are being released back to their creators.
Hiveworks will complete fulfillment for several outstanding comic crowdfunding projects, after which its crowdfunding services will cease. Warehouse services for artists will also cease, and Hivemill, its managed storefront, will be limited to print-on-demand services and sale of products purchased wholesale from artists.
A clearance sale on many goods will run in Hivemill from mid-April through May 31 before arrangements are made to return remaining product to artists.
Hiveworks remains committed to helping artists share original, creator-owned webcomics with audiences across the world in the way they want and will continue operating its web services.
