DC Comics Even Later Due To Printer & Paper Problems

Published Thu, 28 Oct 2021 08:28:10 -0500

Bleeding Cool has been talking at length about major printing and distribution issues hitting the comic book industry, with DC Comics continuing to issue its own warnings and reworked schedules saying "DC faces an unprecedented strain on the global supply chain, affecting all of us in the comics industry and beyond. Up to this point, we've been able to keep delays and shortages to a minimum, but with recent notifications about covid-related port closures, international and domestic freight delays, workforce shortages, and a severely allocated paper supply, we are unable to continue to manage this situation without disruption… Please know that we are doing everything we can to keep a steady supply of product coming through the system until the supply chain strain begins to ease, but based on current industry feedback, this situation is likely to continue for several more months." Here are the current state of DC Comics delays. Note the prestige format, Omnibus, Absolute, and especially the oversized DC Poster Portfolio books depending on high-end paper quality are the most delayed. We ran another batch of DC titles at the beginning of the month, but the items below have been added or are previously delayed titles that have been delayed even more.
