 Welcome to Comic-Jutsu:The Art of Reading, Collecting, and Creating Comics!

Comic-Jutsu is dedicated to the lost art of comic book fight scenes. On this show, we talk about everything from the hard hitting right cross of Jack Kirby's Captain America to the slick slice and dice skills of Larry Hama's Snake-Eyes. Along the way, we'll call out the best and the worst of sequential art combat.

  • Diamond Distributors Lay Claim to Small Publishers Unsold Stock

    Diamond Distributors Lay Claim to Small Publishers Unsold Stock
    Jul 23 2025
    In a very special episode of Comic-Jutsu, we try to consolidate some of the information and updates about the recent Diamond Distributors bankruptcy filing and its subsequent sale. It’s still affecting publishers and threatens the future of many publishers in the industry.
    Here. We. Go!
    Check out the articles on Bleedingcool for more info: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/avatar-press-joins-anti-diamond-liquidation-publisher-coalition/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawLifeNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHk_r27KySq5sILyM13g-DEH9A_9RsdwMJ4GxbrHLegVA1-PZFw6GK4kO9w4b_aem_-jSwGWI_D4WKyoBR_ISdrg
    On January 14, 2025, Diamond filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to facilitate the restructuring of its operations. The company received a $39 million stalking horse bid to sell off Alliance Game Distributors to Canadian-based hobby distributor Universal Distribution. Alliance Entertainment ultimately won the bid to acquire Diamond's assets in March, but later backed out after filing multiple lawsuits against the company.
    A joint bid between Universal Distribution and Ad Populum was then approved and finalized in May 2025. Universal acquired the assets of Alliance Game Distributors, while Ad Populum acquired Diamond Comic Distributors, Diamond Book Distributors, Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles, Collectible Grading Authority, and other assets. Diamond UK was not included in this sale.
    Major layoffs at Diamond were reported soon after, including the shutdown of Diamond Select Toys. Penguin Random House ended its sub-distributor agreement with Diamond, ending its distribution of comics from Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, and others. By the end of May, Udon Entertainment had ceased shipments to Diamond. Dynamite Entertainment ceased shipments to Diamond and shifted to Lunar Distribution in mid-June. By July, Diamond's ComicSuite POS and PullBox pre-ordering system were shut down.
    Diamond's existing inventory was not included in the sale, so the old company began selling it without paying publishers. There are nearly 130 companies affected, including Fanatagraphics and Dynamite, which is owed over $1 million and in danger of not meeting payroll.
    The Collectible Grading Authority, one of Diamond's smaller assets and a rival to Certified Guaranty Company, was purchased by a consortium of investors in July 2025.
