Diamond Comic Distributors just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy — the direct-market giant that once controlled most comic and RPG distribution. Now, indie publishers and retailers are left drowning
💸 In this video, we break it all down:
📦 What happened: Diamond filed Chapter 11 on January 14, 2025, and abruptly closed its flagship fulfillment center in Plattsburgh, NY. The company is liquidating assets and selling off its Alliance Game Distribution arm to Universal and Ad Populum
📚 Comics chaos: Publishers like Dynamite, Mad Cave, Vault—and about 128 others—are severing ties. Many have shifted to alternatives like Lunar Distribution, while smaller publishers scramble to survive PublishersWeekly.com
🎲 TTRPG fallout: Game makers like Paizo, Roll for Combat, Green Ronin, and Goodman Games had consigned stock stuck in Diamond warehouses. Now Diamond is moving that inventory—with no compensation to publishers, and legal control to sell it off to pay debts
