Besides, it's DC. They're the lesser of the Big Two Evils.

>fans can celebrate that new superhero stories will be arriving at operating retail stores. We can't. Not with Bendis and King still writing comics

Good to see things starting rolling again. Disapointing to see one weeks worth of comics spread out with some titles still missing. But at least it's some progress.

Hello, based departament? I have something that you would like.
>DC will be using two new distributors, Lunar Distribution and DCS Comic Distribution to distribute comics. Retailers can sign up with either on a regional basis.
>Lunar is handling accounts in the Western section of North America, and UCS the eastern portion.
I imagine Marvel follows suit. Dont wanna be left behind.
What's the division here? Western portion counts up to where, Texas? Illinois? Ohio?
Adrian Miller
there's little to no info about these distributors

Diamond is bitching already
>"We value our partnership with DC and will continue to support them as a distributor. Our focus is squarely on getting our industries’ entertainment products in the hands of fans as quickly and as safely as possible. As we shared this morning with our vendors and retailers, we are currently building our restart plans and targeting mid- to late-May to being shipping new weekly product. If we see signs that it is safe to resume shipping earlier, we certainly will. However, with the limited number of retailers open and most customers on stay-at-home orders, our focus is on supporting our industry and the health and safety of our stakeholders."
