A.D. Vision to replace Newtype USA with PiQ in March

A.D. Vision's Newtype USA magazine has been sending the following email message to subscribers who inquire about the status of their subscriptions, in the aftermath of the magazine's reported ending:

Thank you for your email to Newtype USA!

We will be launching a new magazine that will be on sale in mid-March. Titled PiQ, the magazine will cover anime, manga, video games and other aspects of pop culture of keen interests to you. All existing subscribers will have their remaining issues fulfilled at a two-to-one ratio, meaning you will get double the number of magazines delivered straight to your doorstep! We hope you stick with us and give the new magazine a shot. We're sure you'll love it!

If you're not interested in receiving double the value for your remaining subscription, you can opt out at anytime.

Newtype USA Editor-in-Chief Gary Steinman has confirmed the contents of the email message, but has declined to comment further.
