ANN has confirmed through Dark Horse representatives that after a five-and-a-half year run that started in the spring of 2000, the manga anthology Super Manga Blast will be discontinued after issue 59 hits store shelves in December.

This marks the fourth manga anthology cancellation in as many years, the third since early last year.

Viz announced the cancellation of Animerica Extra in December 2004, and cancelled Pulp in August 2002; Raijin Comics announced it’s publication “hiatus” in March 2004.
