  1. Retailer exclusive used to DEFINITELY FOR A FACT COME SHIPPED FROM DIAMOND. At least some that I know about. Then it became really wide spread and i do think they ordered from the printer but I don't know about shipping. (the retailer also could have just worked out a shipping distribution deal on the side)  Also Really don't know about how it went down in the nineties and I really dont know if any books that image or any other company had at their offices first came back thru the distributor. I  Would like to know. Bottom line. some people can go direct to printer and fulfill what is needed to diamond, some others have diamond manage their orders but work together with them on total orders. What are the major publishers agreements? I don't know for a fact , I want to know

    I also want to know when they order how it works for damage and over-ship programs and 2nd prints....

    Does Diamond ever handle things like convention exclusives or complementary copies for creators or do those just go directly from the printer to the publisher?

    Diamond is just a (well, the) distributor. They certainly have a significant influence on what the publisher has printed, but they aren't the publisher.

    What is the master distribution agreement? Does diamond get 100 percent of the shipment and then distribute to the comic companies , maybe they don't care but do they know the print amounts?

    True , but do they get the printed books from printer and ship to who marvel wants? or does marvel get direct mail from printer? that's a very very important question. Does either ever happen? I would love to really find out. I have heard it both ways.

  4. I heard that marvel & diamond had a direct relationship with the printer and received  the entire print run and distributed to marvel. Could this rumor be true? If this is true would that mean that people at the distributor actually know from the invoice how many books where actually printed?  I mean its as good of a guess as the previously stated statement and it has been said in the past.  I mean does someone have the facts? Does diamond just tell marvel what it needs and marvel just ships what diamond ordered or do that do it together with diamond managing the total inventory?

    PS. In the normal course of things, Diamond neither knows nor cares what the publishers print. So long as they can fulfill orders, what the publishers print is none of their concern. The publisher decides what to print...not Diamond.

    So, the whole "I got the super secret whistleblower info from Diamond!" doesn't really matter. The information...which, incredibly conveniently, cannot be shared, because:reasons...might only refer to what Diamond need to fulfill orders.

     

    Proof? Its OK just to fling unproven statements as facts?
