Many new comics won’t hit stores this week.

Black Mirror comic book announced.

Will Buffy and Firefly comics head to Marvel?

This is Comic Book Club News for November 25, 2024.

Looking forward to picking up new comics this Wednesday? Slow your roll, if so: due to a shipping issue from Diamond, an extensive list of new comics scheduled for November 27 now won’t hit stores until December 4.

Per Bleeding Cool, due to the closing of Diamond’s Plattsburgh, NY, Distribution Center, and “a data entry error on top of misrouted product from suppliers,” many of this week’s scheduled comics won’t be delivered in time, and will hit stores a week later.

And… It’s a lot of comics. Pretty much everything planned from Dynamite, Image Comics, and Dark Horse Comics, including new issues of Terminator and Void Rivals, and Mike Mignola’s Serpent in the Garden. Marvel is also heavily impacted, with Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man, Mystique, Venom War and more all delayed a week in stores.

However, there’s one publisher that doesn’t seem to be impacted at all: DC Comics. That’s because they’re not distributed through Diamond — they distribute single issues through Lunar. So you should be able to pick up DC Comics at the store this Wednesday, as usual.

In addition, at the current time it doesn’t look like most publishers have shifted their digital releases as well, so you may be able to snag the books online this Wednesday as usual. Or if not? Double the comics in December.

Black Mirror, the hit sci-fi anthology series, is coming to comic books in 2025… Except not with new stories.

Coming from the UK’s Twisted Comics and Banijau Entertainment, per Deadline, the comics are described as, “immersive comic books comprising iconic Black Mirror storylines.”

So, what is an “immersive comic book?” Hard to say as there are no details about which storylines from the TV series the comics will be adapting. But given the dark nature of the show, just assume the comic books will suck you into them, Tron style and then you’ll be forced to marry a robot or whatever.

Twisted Comics founder Neil Gibson will be writing the books, and will release a preview issue on 2025’s Free Comic Book Day.

BOOM! Studios, which has held the rights to publish Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly comics since 2018, have relinquished the rights to the properties. But does that mean they might come to Marvel Comics?

Per Bleeding Cool, despite announcing a new Firefly comic by Sam Humphries and Giovanni Fabiano earlier this year, that will no longer hit stores. And in fact, the publisher has let the rights lapse to both Buffy and Firefly comics, due to “business reasons.”

The rights to the properties have bounced around to various publishers, sitting at Dark Horse Comics for a while, IDW snagging spinoff Angel for a few years, and most recently BOOM! Studios. However, with Disney, Marvel’s parent company, also owning 20th Television and publishing theatrical adaptations like Planet of the Apes, Alien, and Predator, could we see TV properties make their way to the House of Ideas?

More on this as it develops.

For Comic Book Club News, I’m Alex Zalben. And okay, fine, I’ll pick up the rights to the Buffy comics.
