It seems that Penguin Random House appears to have lost thousands of copies of Marvel’s launch issue of Ultimate Black Panther #1.
Article Summary
Penguin Random House loses over 12,000 copies of Ultimate Black Panther #1.
Comic shops face partial allocations or none due to the distribution mishap.
Ultimate Black Panther #1 goes to second printing before first hits stores.
New issue introduces Wakanda’s fight against Moon Knight and Ra’s forces.
Marvel Comics titles are exclusively distributed to comic shops via Penguin Random House. Though Diamond Comic Distributors work as a middle-man for some, still, and still exclusively distribute Marvel to the UK with Diamond UK. Those who use Diamond usually pay more, but gain a little simplicity and maybe a few economies of scale along the way. Oh, and this week, all their copies of Ultimate Black Panther #1.
Because it seems that Penguin Random House appears to have lost thousands of copies of the main cover of the launch issue of Ultimate Black Panther #1. I have been given the number of twelve thousand, but that’s not confirmed. Many stores have been allocated to have of their orders, some have got none.
Bleeding Cool reported that the comic had gone to a second printing before the first arrived in stores, might this be a reason why? Anyway, good luck finding a copy, I hear it’s a belter of a comic book… I hope they find them soon.
