Massive Publishing has announced the expansion of its Massive Indies program, now welcoming a new wave of independent publishers and studios into its growing network. This expansion marks a major milestone for the program, which continues to redefine how indie comics reach comic book shops nationwide. While no specific publishers were announced, they will be revealed over the next few weeks with the initial wave being announced in Massive’s July solicitations for on sale in September.

Designed to empower small and midsize publishers, Massive Indies provides direct market access through Massive’s partnership with Lunar Distribution, as well as marketing support—while allowing creators and studios to retain full creative control. With this new phase, Massive reaffirms its commitment to the program and opens its doors to more partners than ever before.

The expanded program comes with a streamlined onboarding process and newly reduced pricing, designed to lower barriers for publishers looking to scale and give relief to publishers impacted by the Diamond Comic Distributor bankruptcy. Applications are now open and the Massive Indies team will be contacting previous applicants who were not part of the initial wave of publishers.
