Diamond UK will no longer broadcast Mad Cave Studios or TwoMorrows to UK … so what other choice is there ?
Article Summary
The fallout from theDiamond Comic Distributors bankruptcycontinued to play out . In a letter to British and Irish laughable book retailers , Diamond UKhas stated ;
Image Comicshad pulled out from any subdistribution deals viaDiamond Comic Distributorsin the USA , going exclusive withLunar Distributorsas a result of Diamond going into Chapter 11 failure . However , Diamond UKwas still very much a going business organisation andImage Comicswill now ship toDiamond UKviaLunar . Even if all the comedian are coming in a little later now . But not everyone is so accommodating , however . The e - chain armor extend ;
" Unfortunately , we have been ineffectual to agree on terms for continuing to supplyDiamond UKcustomers withMad CaveorTwoMorrowstitles and due to this , all - spectacular orders for their titles will be call off , you will get hold a record of these cancelled orders at the top of your future UK account . Thank you all once again for the continued reenforcement you ’ve shown during these retiring few workweek
This means that UK risible stores will not be stockingMad Cavetitles such asGatchaman , Flash Gordon , orDefenders Of The Earth . Or any of theTwoMorrowstitles , such asAlter EgoorThe Jack Kirby Collector . Or are they ? The trouble withLunar Distributionand the UK was down to shipping prices . Because they do n’t have a UK - ground storage warehouse for dropshipping , each bundle to each computer memory had to be sent out individually from the USA . WhenDCleftDiamondto go undivided withLunarand UCS , shipping to Britain often ascertain the monetary value of postage stamp exceed the note value of the comics , double up the toll to UK depot . A deal withDiamond UKwas talk terms , and normal Robert William Service was mostly take up . But now ?
I am differentiate that some store have go back to dispersion for all the DC Comics and Image Comics titles , as well as Oni , Ahoy , and other titles available through Lunar . And because better shipping deal have been negotiated – and the damage of funnies has gone up – they have found it more economical with the full Lunar deduction on top to govern directly from Lunar in the USA . This is an option reserved more for the large storage ; however , if British store still have some die - operose TwoMorrows or sick Cave fans , it might be worth experimenting with .
