2025 was an odd year for the comic industry as it found itself inside court rooms in multiple high profile cases. One of those occurred in October 2025 when Humanoids filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Delaware Bankruptcy Court. In their filing, the publisher referenced the Diamond bankruptcy, and now, in a recent filing, we get some information in Diamond’s process about Humanoids in return.

In the filing from March 17, Humanoids transfers its claim to a new entity. Humanoids is one of the publishers fighting Diamond for what’s owed.

In the filing, Humanoids, lnc. is being transferred to Humanoids Studios SA, located in Geneva, Switzerland.

This change took effect on October 10, 2025, the closing date of all of the asset sold with a transfer agreement dated October 9, 2025.

According to the Diamond filing, Humanoids Studios SA is the sole owner of the transferred assets and related rights.

The Transferred Assets consist of(i) all intellectual property of Humanoids, Inc. (including books. comic books. scripts. and screenplays, and all related agreements with their respective authors). (ii) all trademarks, domain names, and website URLs, (iii) all equipment and inventory (including book inventory) used in the Company’s business. (iv) all cash, advances on royalties made to authors. and accounts receivable ofthe Company. and (v) all other assets of the Company, including its equity interests in its subsidiaries, together with all assets of Humanoids Development, LLC that were merged into the Company on October 7. 2025.

Michel Schnegg is listed as the “Director” of Humanoids Studios SA. Schnegg is a mysterious figure with little on the web beyond some social profiles, this website, and a LinkedIn profile where he’s currently listed as the “Directeur artistique principal” of Art éditions Suisse since December 2018.

Humanoids’ situation has been an odd one with their US chapter 7 listing $17 million in debt and $0 in assets, but, it’s still doing business having reorganized under a new company with a new parent that owns all of the publishing assets without the debt. The Beat has more information on all of that.

Their claim is for $7,90976 filed on February 20, 2025.
