WHOA STOP THE PRESSES
Big ZCN news! Plus, new BATMAN! New PUBLIC DOMAIN!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ZDARSKY COMICS NEWS GOES EXCLUSIVE WITH BOTH DIAMOND COMIC DISTRIBUTORS AND LUNAR DISTRIBUTION BECAUSE ACTUALLY YOU CAN BE EXCLUSIVE TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON IT’S CALLED A “THROUPLE” CINDY AND IT CAN REALLY MAKE A RELATIONSHIP STRONGER IN A LOT OF WAYS IF YOU GIVE IT A CHANCE
TORONTO, Ont. 07/08/24 — Zdarsky Comic News is pleased to announce a worldwide exclusive distribution deal with Diamond Comic Distributors and Lunar Distribution, effective immediately, for comic shop distribution.
“Zdarsky Comic News isn’t just a physical newsletter, it’s a way of life ,” said founder and CEO Chip Zdarsky. “Our readers are highly intelligent, incredibly wealthy, and have a strong desire to hand over all their money to comic shops and no one gets hurt. Zdarsky Comic News helps them do that.
“We’re proud to increase our already massive reach by teaming with both Diamond and Lunar, two names you can trust. One name is an incredibly tough mineral that looks amazing on a ring; the other is the moon, Earth’s only natural satellite, worshiped by many, and the cause, I believe, of menstrual cramps. Both are incredibly powerful.”
With this partnership, comic retailers can now order from Diamond and Lunar starting with Zdarsky Comic News Issue Three, at the low, low cost of 12¢ an issue.
Issue Three will feature an earth-shattering interview with comics’ good boy James Tynion IV, talking about his new top secret project. The full cover will be revealed in two short weeks at zdarsky.substack.com, Chip Zdarsky’s throwback digital newsletter.
Fun news, yeah? Now your comic retailers will have NO excuse to deny you what is rightfully yours: a few pages of dumb jokes and interviews! Let them know to order today!
All right, down to business! I have TWO quality comics in shops today! One is PUBLIC DOMAIN #7, a look at how time changes an industry and how our past maybe isn’t as clean as we thought it was. And BATMAN #151, where Batman punches a twisted Superman clone with a robot arm in the jungles of Okinawa! This is why I love comics.
Speaking of LOVING COMICS, today is also the release day of THE POWER FANTASY #1, the incredible new Image title from Friend Of The Stack Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard. It’s a fantastic take on the idea of superpowers. If you loved THE WICKED + THE DIVINE and also X-MEN, you need to pick this up, trust me.
And that’s it for me this week! I love you! Let’s make this a FOURPLE!
-Chip!

You’re putting someone else in the cover of YOUR magazine? Have you learned nothing from Oprah?
dear chip,
congrats!
this is funny: “We’re proud to increase our already massive reach by teaming with both Diamond and Lunar, two names you can trust. One name is an incredibly tough mineral that looks amazing on a ring; the other is the moon, Earth’s only natural satellite, worshiped by many, and the cause, I believe, of menstrual cramps. Both are incredibly powerful.”
but then you go on to say "Issue Three will feature an earth-shattering interview with comics’ good boy James Tynion IV"
and so my question is this: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE MOON ONCE THE EARTH HAS BEEN SHATTERED IN YOUR INTERVIEW?
thank you for letting me know before we are all floating through space!
love
