UDON Entertainment has signed on with Lunar Distribution but will continue to be distributed by Diamond Comic Distributors as well, with one exception: UDON’s two Free Comic Book Day comics, Mega Man #0 and Street Fighter vs. Rival Schools #1, will be available only from Lunar. All Diamond orders for these books will be cancelled and can be re-ordered from Lunar with an FOC date of February 24, 2025.
Lunar will begin distributing UDON titles with May 2025 releases, so three upcoming UDON titles will be available only through Diamond: Street Fighter Prime #0, Final Fight #4, and Street Fighter Masters: Guile #1. The two FCBD comics will be the first UDON titles to be distributed by Lunar.
"It’s a rocky time for the entire comic industry right now,” said UDON Chief of Operations Erik Ko in a statement accompanying the announcement. "Diamond has been a very supportive partner of UDON since we started publishing over 20 years ago, and we respect that support a great deal. We are very hopeful that Diamond can come back strong from Chapter 11 restructuring, but with the uncertainty ahead it makes the most sense for us and for the retailers who carry our books to open up our distribution options and make our materials available through additional partners like Lunar Distribution."
