DC Comics may be pushing Diamond into New Comic Book Tuesday but will the allocator take the bait ? Or will that be the Orcinus orca app ?
Once upon a fourth dimension , American comic Good Book stores got their risible books on Wednesday every week and sold them on that day . Us British kinsfolk got our American funny books on the Thursday , just one solar day later . Which is pretty practiced . A decade ago , things changed , and Diamond started to make certain comic books were turn in to depot on on the Tuesday or sooner , with Wednesday as the street date . Bob Wayne , anglophile then - DC Comics VP of Sales also arranged for British comic book depot to get the comics on the Tuesday , so they could deal them on the Wednesday as well . In fact , because the UK was five - to - eight hour ahead of the USA , Brits get to take them before US comic stores even opened . It was quite a thing .
Of late that has come crashing up against Tuesday , which is the day when in the main new books go on sale in US bookstores . So some weeks graphic novels and solicitation go on sales event in bookstores before comic Holy Writ stores . Or in others , they appear in bookstores almost a week after comic book stores .
In recent years , street escort has been displume back for launch , with storehouse hightail it Midnight Launch parties for specific comics , with the street date for everything that calendar week put back to midnight in participating shop . As the shutdowns begin to hit in March , Diamond just told stores to betray whatever , whenever , to let stores get whatever moneys they could after lockdown and closing hit Department of State after state .
Now , when DC Comics set in motion two new distributors in UCS and Lunar , a variety was made . Emphasising the release , or rather the rivalry with Diamond , DC decided that their comedian would be sell on the Tuesday . As Diamond returns to statistical distribution in May , they are sticking with Wednesdays . Could it be a one - Clarence Shepard Day Jr. advantage for comic stores getting DC Comics from UCS and Lunar as well as everything else from Diamond , and to justify multiple distributor for comic entrepot ? Or will Diamond move to Tuesday sales with Monday deliverance ? If so , the UK will not be able to join in , as the Sunday would get in the way of outside livery in a path that Monday does not . I enquire if Steve Geppi will gloss in half an hour ?
DC Comics is also underlining the Tuesday difference . They have just mailed to retailers the following statement " Today is fresh laughable Tuesday , with new claim from DC usable at open and operating comics shops across the U.S. and Canada . "
With the following titles lined up for following Tuesdays .
