The new print-to-digital comic book publisher formed from the bones of Comixology, Dstlry, is to launch at San Diego Comic-Con with their Devil's Cut one-shot. And they have managed to leapfrog many a publisher by getting a main booth on the show floor and their own signage on the map. Can we say Venture Capital funding?
The Devil's Cut one-shot will also then be sold by DSTLRY to comic book stores in August, has revealed a new tiered incentive cover and a new open-to-order cover for The Devil's Cut One-shot, which will debut eleven comics before they all become their own ongoing series, 88 over-sized pages for a $9.99 cover price.
The Mominu X Junko Mizuno Vinyl Figure is a 1:100 tiered cover, the Jamie McKelvie cover is open order

Additionally, all covers of the Devil's Cut One-shot are fully returnable with no qualifiers and re available for order at a retailer's maximum Diamond discount. Talking to Forbes, co-founder and DSTLRY co-founder Chip Mosher stated that first that the oversized format means that the comics carry a higher price than typical comics which gives retailers an incentive to stock and promote them. "A higher price means higher margins for the stores," he explained.
