Ok. You better get ready to hold on to your hats and socks because we just got a LOT of information, and we’re going to share it all with you, our loyal readers and friends.
Of course, one thing to note – this is all generally “spoilers.” What follows is all the various information that Diamond revealed during the retailers summit that will be coming soon in July and beyond from every company (not just the big two). I am going to go ahead and give a guess that you’ll be hearing about all these various things through solicits anyway, but if you would rather sit and wait, I respect your decision. Hence the anti-spoiler cut.
Of course, as these things are “officially” reported (i.e. no one is being sneaky since clearly MC and our source are not retailers), we will break the news on the site normally.
If you DO want to find out about all this various information broken down into nice little bulletin points for easy reading, read on…
- Dynamite has made an offer that, if retailers are willing to agree, they’d like ALL of their single issue series to be returned in trade for a trade. (Woah.)
