Podcasts about diamond distribution

We are back in the studio this week following Planet Comicon. Get the details of three incredible days where we raised money for Hero Initiative, held panels in packed rooms, and met some great comic creators. It's only been two weeks since we last discussed Daredevil: Born Again, but we have three episodes to catch up on. Which one was your favorite? Diamond Distribution has a new owner. There is a lot to unpack with this topic, but the main question remains, "Will they get the books to shops on time?" Speaking of comics, we have our weekly Pick 3 choices sponsored by Clint's Comics.

Today I sit with Lonzo Starr CEO of Konkret Comics to speak of his newest venture on Kickstarter as his company Konkret Comics has put up 4 Trade Volumes of their Titles such as Akolyte, Odina, Absolver, and Deja-Vu as an exclusive Comic Con package never to be released again. Lonzo brings us back to Konkret's inception in 2018 and what its meant to see his company expand. Also, we ask about Konkret Comics current relationship with Diamond Distribution and what it means to smaller indie comic publishers putting out their books in the future on the direct market.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

After a lot of success serializing his series Night Wolf on Kickstarter, Rob Multari thinks he's finally ready to distribute through Diamond Distribution to get his books into comic book shops. The problem? How to deal with the upfront funding costs associated with direct market distribution? Tyler and a roundtable of comic creators brainstorm options in this mastermind style session.

In this "from the ComixLaunch Mailbag" episode, Tyler gives some advice to a creator who is looking for recommendations for printers who can print roughly 500 copies and still have their pricing work for Diamond Distribution. Is it possible? Let's talk comic printing in 2023!

This week the guys are joined by Travis Gibb. Travis has been busy working on some awesome comics and is here to promote his first published work in Diamond Distribution through Band of Bards, and a new Kickstarter for Holiday Spirits Volume 2.

Welcome to House of Comics #13! Seeing that the podcast is officially an adolescent, we injected some teenage angst into our topic of the day. We highlighted some of our ‘favorite’ teenage superheroes and debate what defines a character’ “teenage” years in terms of comic continuity. We also fail to ignore the elephant in the room and do a deep dive into DC deciding to cut ties with Diamond Distribution after 25+ years. Although we spent a fair amount of time talking about the impact this could have on the industry, we eventually got around to what really matters at the end of the day – the books.

News We start with a update on what is going on in the comicbook industry including the temporary shut of Diamond Distributors, the reaction of the comicbook companies to said shutdown, a possible solution, and where we see the industry going. Michael had us make a choice between two stories for his weird news. We won't spoil it here, but you need to here these choices. Comics We had two books that we were able to get advance reviews of before the comicbook world did a bit of an implosion. We start out talking about Spy Island #1 from Chelsea Cain. Then we move on to Ludocrats #1 from Image Comics. We ran out of time last week so we went back and decided to check out the trade of Canto from IDW Publishing. Overall a good week for comics despite the lack of many new comics to read. Comics Agenda is hosted by Michael (Twitter@mokepf7) and Greg (Twitter@Comicsportsgeek). We discuss new comicboook releases each week, in addition to news, movies, and tv.You can reach us on Twitter @TheComicsAgenda or email us at TheComicsAgenda@gmail.comSubscribe, Rate, Review

Lost in the mists of time, home-grown British superheroes once entertained and enthralled millions of kids. Now, the likes of Adam Eterno, Blake Edmonds, Thunderbolt the Avenger, and The Leopard from Lime Street are coming back to make summer 2018 blazing hot! The Vigilant will be a special one-shot title this August which resurrects classic heroes from the Fleetway/IPC comics of the 1970s – reborn and updated for a new generation to enjoy! Written by Simon Furman (Transformers) with art by Simon Coleby (Jaegir, Judge Dredd) and other guest creators, when the evil forces of Von Hoffman and Dr Mesmer team up and pluck the immortal Adam Eterno from the winds of time, all of reality is under threat! Only The Vigilant – a mighty team composed of super-beings, warlocks, warriors and monsters – stand between civilisation and total chaos! Join The Leopard from Lime Street, Steel Commando, Dr. Sin, Pete’s Pocket Army, Blake Edmonds, Yāo and Thunderbolt the Avenger on their premiere adventure! Superheroes are something 2000 AD hasn’t really done in the past (with a couple of exceptions) – but this is the beginning of what we’re dubbing the ‘Rebellion-verse’, an interconnected world of superheroes but with a very British ethos and outlook. Available from newsagents in the UK on 15th August, The Vigilant will also be available to order from comic book stores through Diamond Distribution in the April edition of Previews.

That sound you just heard was that of a bubble bursting!  What goes up, must come down... even in the world of comics.  Much of this "coming down" just happened to occur in the year 1995.  Our time-trapped twosome deliver another heaping dollop of nostalgia when they chat about things like the O.J. Simpson murder case, Sony PlayStaton, WCW Monday Nitro... and even some comic books! Comic events discussed include X-Men: The Age of Apocalypse, The Death of Aunt May, DC vs. Marvel (or Marvel vs. DC if you prefer),  Marvel's attempt to self-distribute their books... which led to our current Diamond monopoly... and the most devastating thing to happen that year, Chris walking away from comics for awhile.  It's a sobering tale of a boy and his lunch money... Throughout this re-upload, Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) mention an episode of Cosmic Treadmill they were researching during this time.  The episode in question is #24 (January 15, 2017) where they discuss the Spider-Man Clone Saga.  It is available in the archives.  Share your own stories from 1995 with us... unless you weren't born yet, that'll just make us feel really bad about ourselves... we'll probably begin questioning our life decisions as well...

  Once again James and Eric are joined in the “studio” by guest Chris, Kowabunga’s former owner, to discuss the distributor wars and what built up to Diamond’s sole distributorship in the current comic industry.  We also foray into what we think it would take for someone to mount a challenge to compete with Diamond, as well as other distributor disruptors.

Whatever its intent, the recent news about Diamond Distribution’s attempt at digital distribution has stirred up a lot of talk about the future of Local Comics Stores (LCS). Digital delivery of comics through services like The Illustrated Section or Comixology has certainly disrupted the business of selling and distributing physical comic books, but does this […]

Our usual reliance on the Anti Structure Equation evaporates (not really) as we enter an extended examination of Robert Kirkman's recent revelations on his plan to save the comics industry.
