AHOY Comics announced that Lunar is now an option for distribution in the direct market for comics. The move impacts single issues only and Lunar will not be distributing AHOY's trade paperbacks.
The first comic that'll be distributed through Lunar is SNELSON #1 which has a final order cut-off of July 11 and a release date of August 4.
AHOY is the latest publisher expanding the options for stores through whom they want to order. It's another blow to Diamond whose near monopoly for distribution has been slipping in recent years.
While options are good, we'll see if such options will actually improve distribution and lead to the arms race of innovation the industry needs.
