  Comic Book Resources - CBR News: The New Frontier: Gotham Chopra talks Virgin Comics
The initial announcement of Virgin Comics' formation highlighted the fact that there will be three distinct lines of comics from Virgin, with each focusing not on a specific universe per se, but instead focusing on spotlighting specific content.
Virgin has taken this to heart and has planned their launch accordingly, with a gradual release of product, as opposed to the heavy initial launch method of some publishers.
Virgin will also be producing animated features, which allows for the creations of Chopra & Co to reach an even wider audience, but the comic book and animation projects are not scheduled for simultaneous release.

Virgin Cola USA is based in Los Angeles, California and is a division of the UK-based Virgin Trading Company, a division of the Virgin Group of Companies.
Virgin Cola has been successfully competing with the major US cola brands in the UK for many years, but taking them on in their own back yard marks a distinct shift in policy for the brand, part of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group which also includes a record label, an airline and mobile phone operations.

 TAXI A&R Interview: Kaz Utsunomiya, Virgin Records
It was kind of a boutique publishing company with some of the acts that Richard knew from Virgin.
Virgin wanted to start up a publishing company in the U.S., which was just a year after they opened the record company in America.
Actually, some of the first signings to the publishing company were Warrant, Winger, and Jane's Addiction, who were all nice surprises because we made a point of going out and finding bands without record deals, as opposed to signing artists who are already on the charts.
