No Marvel Or IDW Comics For Britain Next Week
|
No Marvel in the UK next week? Blame Boris Johnson for this. He’s the easy go to right now. Them’s the breaks. But I am currently writing Bleeding Cool from a guest table at the London Film & Comic Con. Come by and say hi! Organiser Tim Pilcher has also got me hosting panels, just did a lovely Marvel Comics panel with Derek Landy, Torunn Grønbekk, Steve White and Russell Payne. We learned many things, which I am sure I will share later. But what I have also learned, as part of a delivery truck delay from Penguin Random House to Diamond, no comic book stores in the UK will get Marvel or IDW books now, both publishers are now exclusively distributed by Penguin Random House, with Diamond – and Diamond UK – as a sub-distributor. Diamond UK did get all the Diamond and Lunar Distribution distributed comic books as usual.
So these are the Marvel comics you may not be able to find in British, Irish and other dependent territories for comic book distribution next week. They should arrive the week after though. So if you don’t get your Fortnite download code with your Marvel comic book this week, don’t fret, it should turn out safe and sound the week after. For the Hellfire Gala, the party will just have to be postponed for a week. And as for the adaptation of The Mandalorian... well, you can watch the TV version on Disney+. You’ll survive.
