All Comics Published This Week From Marvel, DC, Image and More
Diamond Comic Distributors closed its doors to new product two weeks ago. This led to the biggest print comics publishers restricting their digital output as well. This was an attempt to support physical comic book stores, unable to receive print comics from Diamond. The suggestion is that continued digital publication right would cannibalise future print sales and make it harder for comic stores to recover when the current situation changes. Last week saw the major publishers list classic titles, collections already being distributed to book stores and titles that were already scheduled as digital-first. This is a look at the planned comics published this week.
Marvel and DC Comics published this week
There is a full line-up of Marvel Comics titles on ComiXology for tomorrow. However, Bleeding Cool has confirmed that, again, Marvel Comics will not have any new comics published this week, digitally or in print. They may still have items available to bookstores, as well as classic comic books new to digital, but the standard publishing plan remains on hold. Planned collections include Dawn Of X Vol. 5, X-Men by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 1, Iron Man Epic Collection: War Machine, Marvel-Verse: Black Widow and Marvel's Black Widow Prelude and classic titles Iron Man Annual #12 and #13.
DC Comics is publishing the original graphic novel Gotham High, available today, digitally and in bookstores. They also have a number of comics published this week with collections of previously available material digitally as well. Batman: Last Knight on Earth, Freedom Fighters: Rise of a Nation, Transmetropolitan Book Three and Wonder Woman Vol. 2: Love is a Battlefield. DC also has the archival Justice League of America: A Celebration of 60 Years.
