Marvel Comics is now very interested in Diamond Comic Distributors ' bankruptcy … is it more than just the money owe to Disney ?
Article Summary
Wilmer Cutler Pickeringof the legal firm of Hale and Dorr , of 7 World Trade Center in New York , has charge powers as counsel to Disney Consumer Products , Inc. and Marvel Brands as part ofDiamond Comic Distributors failure , a story Bleeding Cool has been traverse in depth . Notably , Marvel only subdistributed to Diamond Comic Distributors and Diamond UK , leaving Penguin Random House with the nine million clam government note . Disney Consumer Products , however , is owned $ 1,712,447 . They obviously have enough of an interest to be legally represented in proceedings and to call for all the sound filings and details of the state of Diamond Comic Distributors . Even though Marvel Brands is not in the top thirty creditors owe money by Diamond . Might it be that , due to contracts , Marvel is actually on the hook shot for some of those Penguin millions ? Or could we even be getting a raw Heroes World ?
It ’s all speculation of course . In 2021,Marvel Comics announcedthat they would no longer be circularise amusing books to comic stores in North America via Diamond Comic Distributors and that or else they would be exclusively distributed by Penguin Random House Publisher Services ( PRHPS ) , a division of Penguin Random House . They were also joined by Dark Horse , IDW and Boom Studios . This was triggered by DC Comics leaving Diamond for Lunar , as well as Image Comics join them .
Famously , back when there were several great distributer divvy up the likes of Marvel , DC , Image , Dark Horse and Valiant , Marvel resolve to purchase distributor Heroes World and alone distribute through them . The distribution was pretty bad , but without Marvel , the other distributors find it intemperate to make a profits , and finally , they were all – including Heroes World – swallowed by Diamond Comic Distributors after DC Comics made an single deal with Diamond , followed by Image Comics and the rest . Is this the first sign of something similar being stag ? Surely not , but stranger matter have happen .
Also , Diamond Comic Distributors has make do to get an file name extension on filing their agenda of plus and financial obligation by another twenty day past the current schedule , up to the 17th of February . I look forward to some post - Valentine ’s Daylight amorous interpretation about just what Diamond Comic Distributors actually has . And perchance how much it would cost Marvel Comics if they wanted to have it . Well , they might be capable to get almost two million off the price …
