Apparently this is now being called a restructuring, though all the NY employees were laid off.

Sharad Devarajan, CEO, said, “We remain excited about the business and partnerships we have built through Virgin Comics and are working towards a restructuring that properly takes the business forward. The decision to scale down the New York operations and concentrate on core activities is due to the current macro-economic downturn and is in no way a reflection on the dedicated and valuable employees we have had the privilege to work with.”

At SDCC I did hear some stuff I was intrigued by and I’m very sad the Grant Morrison project isn’t going to happen.
