Penguin Random House Lost First Marvel Comics Shipment To DCBS
https://archive.vn/aoz4d

Well, that's not a great start for Penguin Random House is it? DCBS is the biggest retailer of direct market comic books in the world, which is why it was picked by DC Comics to become their exclusive distributor of direct market comic books to other retailers, Lunar Distribution. They are now also distributing Ahoy Comics and Scout Comics, and have ambitions to join Diamond in becoming a wholesale distributor of Marvel Comics to other retailers, from Marvel's own exclusive direct market distributor, Penguin Random House. This means that not only is DCBS a customer of Penguin Random House for Marvel Comics titles, but it is a rival.

Retailers Report: Marvel Comics Damages from Penguin Random House
https://archive.vn/OW6L8

Marvel Comics are aware of widespread reports of damaged comic book issues and SVP David Gabriel and his team are addressing the problems. The common story seems to be that single comics are being shipped like books, though the former is far more subject to shipping damage without additional packaging and protection.

Marvel Comics Pushes Their FOC Date Back From 23 Days To 30 Days
https://archive.vn/kJ4cN

Marvel Comics will be increasing their FOC date from 23 days to 30 days. FOC stands for Final Order Cut-Off and it is the system, negotiated by lawsuit from retailer Brian Hibbs, that enables comic book stores to change their order numbers, up or down, closer to publication date. In the direct market comic books are generally not returnable, and market circumstances can change in the three months between their initial orders and the comics turning up at the comic book store.

Increasing the date from 30 days to 23 days will make it harder for retailers to have accurate numbers reflecting the demands of the marketplace. But it will also allow Marvel another week between the fixing of the print run and when it arrives in store, and right now, that's a week that will mean a lot for Marvel Comics, especially as they switch to a new exclusive distributor, Penguin Random House.
