BIZ: Keyleaf Comics closes its doors

It’s sad when you learn that a comic publisher is closing its doors due to economic reasons, but that seems to be the case for Keyleaf Comics. The odd thing is, they only appeared on our radar in the last year, and maybe that is part of the problem for small publishers – getting the needed coverage to promote their wares. Major Spoilers, and its sibling site, Minor Spoilers do try to feature the small and big publishers to give something for everyone, but if companies don’t reach out, there isn’t a hand to help them up.

Sad day for Keyleaf Comics to be sure. Complete announcement after the jump.
