It has been said that “All good things must come to an end.” Sadly, this time “The End” has come to TWoM. To those of you who have supported us with your praise and words of encouragement over the years, our entire staff wishes to express their deepest gratitude. Those positive comments have always been our only source of payment.
To those of you who will undoubtedly miss the magazine, I encourage you to regularly visit www.darkmythproductions.com for the latest news concerning the upcoming 2M magazine. Nearly everything about 2M is new and different, from the layout and format to the Editor in Chief and DMP president. 2M will feature more columns, articles and items of interest that are designed to appeal to a larger base of readers. While Dark Myth Production Studios is sad to see the end of TWoM, they are excited about 2M magazine and the growing interest it is generating.
As our way of saying “Thanks,” we offer this issue free of charge. So, without further delay, I present to you the final issue of The World of Myth.
