Diamond Comic Distributors Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Dear Readers and Supporters,

We are writing to share an important update regarding our publishing schedule.

As you may be aware, Diamond Comic Distributors has recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. According to their official press release, this step was taken to stabilize their financial foundation while they work to restructure and address their financial obligations. Diamond has assured its partners that operations will continue during this period, but the uncertainties surrounding this situation are impacting the entire publishing and distribution ecosystem.

At Black Panel Press, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality graphic novels and ensuring their availability to readers worldwide. However, after careful consideration of the circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to postpone all releases of new titles by eight weeks while we evaluate the ongoing developments with Diamond.

This delay is not a decision we take lightly. It is essential to ensure that we can continue to support our creators, retailers, and readers without compromising the quality or accessibility of our titles. We remain committed to keeping you updated and to resuming our release schedule as soon as the situation allows.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and unwavering support during this challenging time. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you for being a part of the Black Panel Press community.

Sincerely,
Andrew Benteau
