UPDATE : That was one hell of a Rich Twitch . Original article up top , follow - up PR below .
With DC Comics leave the front section of Previews , alongside Marvel , that part for Diamond ’s Premier publishers was look a little desolate , with just Dark Horse , Image Comics and IDW .
Well , finally , after over a decade of trying and pointing out how their marketshare was sometimes higher than Dark Horse , the hearsay is that Dynamite Entertainment has made it .
Spilling out of bartalk gab at ComicsPRO in Portland this week is the word that the publisher ofJames Bond , Red Sonja , Battlestar GalacticaandGame Of Thronescomics , is now to be at the very front of the Previews catalogue .
If true , it change the publishing house ’s family relationship with Diamond Comic Distributors , gives the newspaper publisher advantage over other publishing firm , makes Diamond more of a guest of Dynamite than Dynamite being a customer of Diamond . It ’s a big deal .
After all , they have been trying for so long . Over a decade to my knowledge . They even changed their listed name in Previews from Dynamite Entertainment to D.E. so that if they went PRemier , they would be at the very front of Previews , in front of Dark Horse Comics .
Will that hold ? I guess we ’ll find out …
