Steve Geppi of Diamond says DC Comics stop their relationship rather than suffice enquiry - they must have been some tangible stinkers .
Today , Bleeding Cool ranthe news program that DC Comics is to quit Diamond Comic Distributors , in favour of their new created distributorsUCS Comic DistributorsandLunar Distribution . In the Q&A , DC Comicsblamed the existing direct food market . There wasplenty of gossipall round .
In thelatestof aseriesofstatementsthat are completely keeping me up late tonight , Steve Geppi , Founder and CEO of Diamond Comic Distributors issued the come after affirmation regarding DC Comics announcement that they were provide Diamond Comic Distribution entirely , learning ability substance of thanks to Steve Geppi and Diamond . It seems that Diamond did n’t get those thanks in someone . The statement reads ;
Today , DC post out a retail merchant communication indicating they are terminate their long - standing relationship with Diamond . In April , we were inform that DC was going to lead off distributing products through additional partner . At that clip , they asked us to present a proposal for a revised agreement with the apprehension that Diamond would continue to be one of their distributors . Which we pronto did . They then requested an extension to June 30 which we also accommodated . Last week , DC request an additional extension through July . We responded with questions and DC indicated they would reply today , June 5 . Instead of invite a response , today we received a termination notice . While we had anticipated this as a potential result , we , like so many others in the industry , are disappointed by their conclusion to end our partnership so abruptly at this time .
Although we had hoped to reach an agreement with DC , every great change also present great chance ! Rest assure , Diamond is a stiff company and our success does not count on the action of one business partner . While we distinguish this variety impacts the industry , we are well - positioned to grab ontogeny opportunities and are institutionalise to the success of our publication partners , the Direct Market and our industry as a whole .
We continue to be frantic about the growing potential in the funny , game and toy industry as well as emergence opportunities for our other Geppi Family Enterprises companies . I truly believe that our comeback will be bigger than our setback and our best days are beforehand .
Thank you for you continued supporting and for all you do . -Steve
