The comics and pop culture site MTV Geek came to an abrupt end this afternoon with a short post titled simply "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish."

As a contributor to the site, as well as a reader (I frequently linked them in Comics A.M.), I'm not at all impartial about this: I'm sorry to see it go.

MTV Geek debuted nearly three years ago at New York Comic Con with a launch party that served as a benefit for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The original editor was Valerie Gallaher, who left about five months ago.

The site  covered a lot of topics: comics, yes, but also movies, television, games, toys, cosplay, pretty much everything in the larger world of geeky interests. It ran a mix of news, interviews and fannish content like Twitter roundups and five-best posts. In the beginning there were also original comics, although those seem to have fallen by the wayside.

The demise of the site, which arrives less than a month after iFanboy ceased its"normal day-to-day operations," doesn't leave MTV without comics coverage: The final post indicates that MTV News will be reporting on NYCC next month.
