Dark Horse Omnibus Editions Cancelled

[samekh.livejournal.com]

There hasn't seem to have been any word on the Dark Horse omnibus stuff -- I knew the release dates had passed, so I started doing a little research. And the results of that were not so good.

I work for a comic retailer, so I have access to the Diamond Comics Distributor website - which tells us when books will be released and where we place our orders. When I checked last week, both the CCS and MKR omnibus editions that hadn't yet been released were still listed. However, I just checked them again today...

CCS 2 and MKR 1 had been completely removed, and this is what was listed for MKR 2



Which means it's only a matter of days before it's removed from the DCD database as well.

I'm gonna see if I can get some answers from Dark Horse on this, but I think the reasoning will likely have something to do with Kodansha USA wanting to release their own titles? It sucks, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
