Go! Comi

Go! Comi was launched in 2005 by writer David Wise and his wife Audry Taylor; the former served as the company's CEO, with the latter as creative director.{{cite book |last=Yadao |first=Jason S.|year=2009 |chapter=Go!

They published such best-selling series as the Eisner-nominated After School Nightmare, Cantarella, Her Majesty's Dog, Tenshi Ja Nai!! and Crossroad.

Although reasonably successful, the Go! Comi imprint was shut down in 2009 after the parent company (also owned by Wise and Taylor) declared bankruptcy due to the failure of its unrelated on-line app "oPlay".{{cite magazine|last=Alverson|first=Brigid |url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/comics/article/56693-manga-2013-a-smaller-more-sustainable-market.html |title=Manga 2013: A Smaller, More Sustainable Market |magazine=Publishers Weekly|date=April 5, 2013|access-date=January 21, 2021}} The official website stopped being updated in early 2010 and expired in May of that year.{{cite web|last=Hodgkins|first=Crystalyn |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-05-11/go-comi-lets-its-website-expire |title=Go!

In 2011, the site was allegedly relaunched under new owners with instructions to donate to a PayPal account to revive the publisher. Former Go! Comi creative director Audry Taylor confirmed that the new website was a scam not associated with the defunct imprint.{{cite web|last=Loo|first=Egan |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-05-12/go-comi-former-site-relaunched-under-false-pretenses |title=Go!
