The studio confirmed that the platform will receive a final update on March 15 ahead of its closure, Andriasang reports.
Users who wish to keep their digital comics purchases beyond 2012 are required to back them up via the MediaGO service. The Comic Reader app will be available to download until the end of the year.
Digital Comics debuted on PSP in late 2009, enabling users to download comics from publishers including DC, Marvel, IDW Publishing, Archie, Tokyopop and BOOM! Studios. The platform amassed a library of more than 4,000 titles.
Sony went on to say that it is planning to bring a digital comics service to its other devices in the future, with its PlayStation Vita a likely recipient.
PS Vita launches in Europe on February 22.
