Morgane Group Selected to Organize New Angoulême Comics Festival Amid Legal Dispute

The Morgane group has been designated to organize a new comics festival in Angoulême, though the event's actual staging remains contingent on the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings. These proceedings were initiated by the company 9ᵉ Art+, which was removed from its organizational role following a crisis that erupted in 2025. The selection of the Morgane group represents a significant shift in the festival's management structure. The future of the festival is currently suspended, pending the resolution of this judicial process. The crisis that led to 9ᵉ Art+'s eviction created the vacancy that the Morgane group is now poised to fill. The legal case launched by the former organizer adds a layer of uncertainty to the planning timeline. The designation of a new organizer marks a pivotal moment for the festival's continuity. The entire situation stems directly from the organizational upheaval of the previous year.
