The publisher's first release was the
anthology ''AG'', which contained both original American comics and translated Japanese material. It later became focussed exclusively on Japanese manga.
Trade paperback collections of the stories serialized in ''AG'' were printed from late 2004 onwards.
Icarus Publishing started releasing ''AG'' on
BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network in December 2007, and ''AG Digital'' through ''DriveThruComics'' on October 24, 2008. ''AG'' was the longest running manga anthology in North America

As of May 2012 there have been no new releases since early 2010. While company website and blog are still available, the webshop has since been closed down. According to several reports the owner of Icarus Publishing, Simon Jones, has fallen severely ill, and operations are completely halted for the time being. There has been no official statement.
