Diamond Distribution Dropped by DC Comics After 25 Years

By Mary Anne Butler

This is a big shakeup in the world of comics, folks. After 25 years in business together, DC Comics has severed their business ties with Diamond Distribution.

In a statement from DC Comics to ComicBook, a representative for the funny papers giant said:

Keep Going!

Rachel Smythe’s “Lore Olympus”…

“Blue Beetle” Movie Finally Happening, Angel…

New The Witcher Series Coming from Dark Horse Comics

“After 25 years, DC and Diamond Comic Distributors are ending their long-standing relationship. Moving forward, comic book retailers can obtain their DC books from Penguin Random House, or their books and periodicals through Lunar or UCS comic book distributors. DC continues to be committed to providing the Direct Market with best in class service and the fans with the world’s greatest comic books.”

This story is developing, and we’ll let you know what else we hear.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now NerdBot as News Editor.

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.

Though she be but little, she is fierce.
