MCM Expo moves into magazine publishing

By John Freeman on October 12, 2012

Movie, anime and games title MyM Magazine has been acquired by MCM Expo Group, organisers of the MCM London Comic Con as well as other events across the UK.

MyM Magazine is currently available in WH Smith and all good newsagents in the UK, Barnes & Noble in the USA and is distributed by COMAG.

Since its launch earlier this year, MyM Magazine has set out to be a breath of fresh air for anime aficionados, film fans and gamers alike, and we can reassure readers that our approach of no-nonsense reviews, in-depth features and stylish design will continue under MCM Expo Group ownership.

As MyM Magazine already covers everything from videogames to anime, movies to cosplay, the editorial team believe that partnership with the hosts of an equally wide-ranging event such as MCM London Comic Con is a natural fit – and one they say will provide an exciting opportunity to further expand and improve our coverage of popular culture in future issues.

“MCM London Comic Con has always embraced all aspects of popular culture, so when a new magazine launched with the same ethos it immediately caught our eye,” commented MCM Group co-owner Paul Miley. “We are very pleased to add the publication to our portfolio and believe that we can help MyM Magazine grow into an even more successful title.”
