I've been traveling recently and fallen behind on sharing announcements and previews with you. Here's some important news about UDON Entertainment's upcoming releases. We wish UDON all the best and hope this transition goes smoothly!
Here's all the info from UDON:
UDON Entertainment and Manga Classics halt all shipments to Diamond Comic Distributors until further notice.
Retailers advised that all Diamond orders should be considered “Cancelled”
UDON Entertainment and its sister-company
Manga Classics Inc. announce today that they have halted all shipments
of product to Diamond Comic Distributors, until further notice. Any retailers with outstanding orders for new, upcoming, or even existing products should consider those orders cancelled. UDON
and Manga Classics ask Retailers and Vendors to seek alternate sources
(listed below) to obtain their wide variety of comic books, graphic
novels, manga, art books, and other materials.
“With the current state of uncertainty and lack of communication from
the new owners to both retailers as well as many publishers, we have to
do what is best to serve our customers,” said UDON Chief of Operations
Erik Ko. “We realize this is a deep inconvenience for many retailers,
but we’re trying to do our best to serve our partners and fans, while
minimizing risk and moving forward in an uncertain time.”
UDON Entertainment is well known for their line of Capcom licensed original comics based on Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Mega Man,
and for manga and artbooks based on top game and anime properties
including Elden Ring, Persona, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and more. Manga
Classics is the premier publisher of manga adaptations of classic
novels, featuring authors from Jane Austen to Charles Dickens to William
Shakespeare. Their newest title features Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
Sherlock Holmes.
A message to UDON’s Fans:
We’re sorry for all of the uncertainty and stress that the ongoing
Diamond bankruptcy situation is causing you! We hope to continue to make
our comics and books available to you with little-to-no interruption.
The best thing you can do is remind your local comic shop that you want
our comics, and that they are available through Lunar Distribution and
Simon & Schuster!
UDON Chief Erik Ko and the entire team would like to thank all of their fans and retail partners for their continued support.
