Oni has knowledgeable retailers that Dwellings #1 ordered by way of Lunar can be on sale as we speak, however Diamond copies can be delayed by per week or two.
Just a few weeks in the past throughout Diamond’s Retailer Summit at San Diego Comic Con, Oni Press Publisher & President Hunter Gorinson knowledgeable attending comedian store house owners that because of a dramatic 127% improve in FOC orders that overwhelmed print capability, copies of two covers of the primary subject for Jay Stephens’ Harvey Comics-inspired, mature readers horror collection Dwellings could be going through 10% allocations.
In response, Oni could be dashing out each a second printing to cowl any allotted orders, in addition to a 3rd printing that may arrive in September, effectively earlier than the collection’ second, bi-monthly subject hit stands in October. Well, now there may be one other twist. As of yesterday afternoon, Oni has knowledgeable retailers that, because of “receiving issue” at Diamond, all copies of Dwellings #1 ordered by way of Lunar Distribution can be hitting shops as deliberate this Wednesday, however that Diamond copies of the primary printing can be delayed by per week till Wednesday, August sixteenth. Moreover, Diamond copies of the Second Printing — which was alleged to have the identical August ninth launch date — can be delayed one other week till Wednesday, August twenty third. Says Oni Senior Sales Manager (and former Third Eye Comics supervisor) Michael Torma:
“Torma at Oni Press here with an urgent update on DWELLINGS #1 that will specifically affect any orders placed through Diamond. (Lunar orders will be unaffected by this update!) We just received word that, due to a receiving issue at Plattsburgh, Diamond orders of the DWELLINGS #1 FIRST PRINTING (all covers) will be delayed by a week and will arrive next week for a Wednesday, August 16th (8/16) on sale on-sale date. Additionally, Diamond orders of the DWELLINGS #1 SECOND PRINTING have been delayed by two weeks and will arrive for an August 23rd (8/23) on-sale date. Again, Lunar orders are unaffected by this delay and have all arrived as intended for this week’s street date. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me or email me directly at torma@onipress.com.”
Until the upcoming acquisition of Image Comics as an unique distribution shopper, frequent knowledge has held that Lunar has tended to have a smaller attain for publishers like Oni… which implies that Lunar shops carrying the Oni’s new launch come Wednesday are going to seek out themselves with first entry to a small pool of the already-allocated Dwellings #1 points earlier than the bigger Diamond market will get ahold of them per week later.
You know what which means: Time to start out watching these Dwellings #1 listings on eBay…the place Jay Stephens‘ 1:10 “bloody” variant is already promoting for near $40. Will the opposite shelf covers by Stephens, Joe Palmer, Jenna Cha, and Brian Level comply with go well with? We’ll discover out Wednesday, a method or one other… Dwellings #1 is on sale at comedian ebook shops through Lunar on Wednesday, August ninth (and on August sixteenth for everybody else).
