    I wondered how long it would take Marvel to leave Diamond. It does seem Diamonds days are numbered.

    This caught my eye in Marvel's announcement.

    Penguin Random House is a free-freight company, allowing retailers to simplify their business models while alleviating the volatility and complexity of reducing freight costs and planning.

    And unlike Lunar, they operate in the UK, so this distribution deal can be international. DC had to stick with Diamond in the UK.

    Wow. I can't believe Marvel would do businesses with Penguin, especially with their history towards women https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0VJIYsCxb8

    I just realised, that means this year will be Marvel's last Free Comic Book Day.

    That's odd... you look at PRH's uppermanagement. It's 85% women.

    From Publication to Distribution...It's actually a very diverse and open place.

    And unlike Lunar(DCBS), Penguin isn't a competitor of every LCS.
