Words that were unthinkable a decade ago: Diamond Comic Distributors has filed for Chapter 11 protection.
The company said it’s received financing to continue to operate as it sells off assets. Universal Distribution, which once wholesaled for Diamond in Canada, has bid for Diamond UK and Alliance Game Distributors. Diamond is seeking offers for its comics, toy, and collectible lines.

Comichron founder John Jackson Miller has tracked the comics industry for more than 25 years, including a decade editing the industry’s retail trade magazine; he is the author of several guides to comics, as well as more than a hundred comic books for various franchises.
He is the author of novels including Star Wars: Kenobi, Star Wars: A New Dawn, Star Trek: Discovery – The Enterprise War, and his upcoming release, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The High Country. Read more about them at his fiction site.
