Jim Lee's Shi On The Cover Of Diamond Previews Digital Catalog

Jim Lee's Shi on the cover of Diamond Previews digital catalogue



Article Summary

  • Jim Lee's Shi art features on Diamond Previews' digital cover as the catalog shifts away from print.
  • Crusade Comics celebrates Shi's 30th anniversary with limited signed omnibus and hardcover editions.
  • Diamond Comics faces disruption as publishers leave due to bankruptcy and delayed payments to creators.
  • Featured Previews items include new releases from Ablaze, VIZ Media, Yen Press, Funko, and more.

The Crusade's Shi: Senryaku Omnibus 30th-Anniversary Signed Edition HC is on the front cover of the Diamond Previews Catalogue, no longer being printed, now available for free on Joomag, as the number of publishers willing to be distributed by Diamond Comics shrinks in the absence of payments, as the Debtors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy stymie the new Diamond, owned by Ad Populum/Sparkle Pop from paying anyone.

And that's how Billy Tucci's Shi Omnibus published by Crusade Comics makes it onto the cover of Previews, as one of a number of signed editions of volumes previously made available, and originally a trading card with the Omnibus. But also why they are using a piece of Jim Lee Shi artwork from decades ago, long before on the Diamond Previews cover. With The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake HC from Z2 Comics on the cover of the order form. As for the Deluxe Publishers and Featured Items this month? One from the only Deluxe Publishers remaining, the second issue of Ablaze Publishing's The Book of Nosferatu. And other featured items:

  •  Abrams Comicarts's Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis ( AUG250050)
  • AWA's Ultimate Oz Universe Volume 1: The Lost Lands ()
  • Panick Entertainment's Savager #1 ( AUG250890)
  • VIZ Media's Moan: Junji Ito Story Collection HC ( AUG251028)
  • Yen Press's Fruits Basket: The Complete Box Set ( AUG251080)
