Article Summary
YesterdayBleeding Cool posted the hot rumor , hear in previous weeks , thatTodd McFarlaneis an concerned buyer of Diamond Comic Distributors , currently going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding . With today as the final day for parties to register their interest group and tender on certain aspects of Diamond ’s operations . I stake the reputation on Bleeding Cool yesterday and also went on theBeyond Wednesdays podcastto talk over the story with the the like ofJesse JamesandDennis Barger .
And I have been hearing it more and more . Ben Dunnat Antarctic Presswent world that he had heard this as well . But what ’s behind this ?
Well , Todd McFarlane andSteve Geppihave have along excellently for 10 . Todd feel that he owes Steve , for the successful launch of Image Comics , and Image ’s move away from Diamond Comic Distributors three eld after DC Comics didwas only done after a tenacious and arduous process , asNick Barrucciexplained . If Todd can somehow save Diamond for Steve , might that be look at payback ?
The main motivation to own what is leave of Diamond Comic Distribution would be a very effective and efficient means of servicing a worldwide dispersion web to pop acculturation stores , whether that be mirthful Quran storage , gaming stores , bookstores , library , comic conventions and on-line portals for his toys . But might as well do the comic book while he is at it . DC Comics ' determination to signalize a multi - year declaration with Mattelled some to inquire how much DC plaything stage business would leave Todd McFarlane . However , given that DC is locked into Lunar , it might make it sluttish for Todd to pull Image Comics from Lunar back to Diamond Comic Distribution and verify that the alteration that figure need are executed this prison term .
But then it would also bring some much - needed stability back to the market . Dynamite gets give . Antarctic too . Business may return to a closer semblance of normality . And every comical shop can pick Todd McFarlane for when their strip are tardy . At least they expect that with him .
I have to say , I was anticipate pushback from older flesh to have reach me if this hearsay was n’t straight , but I have received none . I am becoming more and more sure-footed that when the auction takes station next calendar week , alongside Universal Distribution in Canada and who have a go at it who else , Amazon , UCS , PRH , or more , there will be another gangling Canadian in his mid - LX with a baseball crown and a baseball mitt dissipate the snap .
And if Todd McFarlane is indeed in the elbow room where it happens , who wants to get in a demented command war with a human being who spent three million dollars on a baseball ?
The auction of Diamond Comic Distributors , in the luminosity of its resolve of Chapter 11 bankruptcy , will be held at the office of Raymond James & Associates , Inc. , 320 Park Avenue , 12th Floor , New York next hebdomad .
