Diamond Comic Distributors announced this week that Archie Comics is introducing a new slate of discount incentives for retail partners.

The publisher is offering full returnability on new #1's beginning with titles solicited in August 2019 and beyond. There will be no minimum order numbers associated with this offer. The publisher is premiering this offer with Archie #705 (Archie and Sabrina #1) by Nick Spencer and Sandy Jarrell. Orders must be placed by Diamond’s Final Order Cutoff (FOC) date.

Archie Comics is also extending increased discount incentives for subsequent issues, to make it easer for comic shops to stock multiple issues of a series. The discounts increase with each subsequent issues, as long as retailers meet or exceed certain percentages of FOC of the #1 issue of the series.
