This is the best way to guarantee your new comic books on day of release. Please disregard the Monday due date listed on the PREVIEWSworld page - this is for US accounts only, the UK date is earlier than that.

When that strongman marks her mother for death, young Rose Obregon ventures into the perilous wasteland to seek the help of the legendary gunslinger Cat Tanner, only to discover that the so-called "Butcher" is long retired, living in solitude, far from what's left of the world, and preferring to keep it that way. When Rose arrives on Tanner's doorstep, with gunmen hot on her trail, the Butcher has a choice to make: sit on the sidelines or pick up her guns and do what she does best?

5/1/2021 0 Comments Diamond UK Shipping Update - delays to some new comics for Wednesday 6th JanuaryAs previously announced, there were no new release comics in the UK last week, as Diamond UK announced a skip week here due to the nightmare of coordinating air freight during this ongoing pandemic and the additional Bank Holidays over the recent Christmas/New Year's season. Unfortunately several of the shipments containing new comics due for release on this week were held up in the US and have not made it to Diamond UK in time to make their intended release. This was due to recent severe US weather conditions and thus an urgent need for shipments of medical and other vital products took priority. Here is a quick list of the titles that we've identified have been affected and will be delayed in the UK.
Diamond UK assure us that they have every intention of supplying these missing items as soon as possible in the following weeks' deliveries. Please bear with us until they do arrive.
We're open every day up to Christmas!
