Diamond Would Like Retailers To Know They Are Still Selling Dstlry
Diamond Comic Distributors would like retailers to know that they are still selling comics from Dstlry right now.
Article Summary
- Diamond Comic Distributors confirms Dstlry comics are still available to order despite distribution changes
- Dstlry titles were briefly canceled but have been resolicited and must be reordered by retailers via Diamond
- Penguin Random House will begin a multi-year, non-exclusive Dstlry distribution deal starting June 2025
- Key Dstlry releases include Blood Brothers Mother #4, Life #5, Missionary #3, and Warm Fusion #3
Recently, Bleeding Cool reported that a partnership and investment deal from Kodansha had got the boutique comics publisher Dstlry into the direct market listings for Penguin Random House alongside Marvel, Dark Horse, IDW and Boom, after they were a) looking for non Diamond options and b) pissed on their chips over at Lunar as they announced an ill-timed exclusive deal with Diamond Comic Distributors just before Diamond announced Chapter 11 bankruptcy. So Dstlry announced a "multi-year sales and distribution agreement" with Penguin Random House, beginning June 2025, though notably not an exclusive one.
But Diamond Comic Distributors would like to remind people that you can still order Dstlry through them, even though they had recently just cancelled a swathe of Dstrly orders, they are all going back up on the slate. And that "Diamond Comic Distributors will offer DSTLRY Media product effective with titles carrying the Final Order Cut-off Date of Sunday, May 11." However, "All open orders for the previously offered DSTLRY Media titles listed below have been cancelled." How that happens, not entirely sure, but these are the resolicited titles that comic book retailers are going to have to order again if they want them.
- BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER #4
- LIFE #5
- MISSIONARY #3
- WARM FUSION #3
