Ssalefish GSO First Look #228 for 9.15.21
Coming to you live from Disney’s Animal Kingdom (after hopping over from the Magic Kingdom at 2 PM)!
If you’re someone that’s very plugged into the comics world, you might already be aware that this is the first week that we’ll be ordering our Marvel titles from Penguin Random House instead of Diamond Comic Distributors, where the House of Ideas has been exclusive since the late 1990s. While we hope this doesn’t effect you guys in any way, shape, or form, it does mean we’re adding a third new comic distributor in less than 12 months and this one, despite being one of the top 3 book distributors in the world, has no experience dealing with comics, so there will certainly be a learning curve involved for us and them! We’ll find out just how steep together on the first Wednesday in October.
To say that the balance of power in this industry has been completely turned on its head since the pandemic started is in no way an understatement.
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, September 15th (Tuesday, September 14th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
