EXCLUSIVE: Rick Remender's Terrific Teacups to Hit Stores This October
Image Comics unveils the release date and preview of Rick Remender and Farel Dalrymple's upcoming original graphic novel, The Terrific Teacups.
Titan joins the exodus to Lunar, with Massive Publishing announcing last month that it was partnering with Lunar for direct market distribution of its titles and imprints. Massive's switch to Lunar came with the launch of the company's newest initiative: Massive Indies, a sub-distribution program aimed at helping independent publishers and self-published studios get their works into comic book shops.
Shortly after Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Image Comics went a step further than Titan and Massive. The publisher moved to Lunar, no longer allowing Diamond to distribute its titles. Starting during the pandemic with DC Comics, other publishers, including Marvel, IDW, Dark Horse, and BOOM! Studios left their exclusivity agreements with Diamond.
