With settlements over the fight for consigned goods approved, Diamond Comic Distributors and its trustee Morgan W. Fisher has dismissed some of the adversary proceedings against comic and tabletop game publishers that have been going on for over a year.

In September 2025, Diamond filed individual court cases against publishers regarding the status of consigned goods when a stay was put on a general decision concerning the inventory. Publishers had provided comic distributor Diamond with goods to sell on consignment and after the initial chapter 11 filing, there were questions as to who “owns” the inventory. Publishers obviously wanted their product back but Diamond wanted to sell it to pay back its creditors. There’s a whole lot more to it as far as the arguments, Sparkle Pop (who purchased some of Diamond in the bankruptcy) sold some of the inventory when it had no right, and more, but that’s the basics.

After over a year of fighting, Diamond finally settled with publishers. There were two settlements. One involved 13 publishers and the other involved 15 publishers.

Now, with settlements, well, settled, the adversary proceedings are being dismissed “with prejudice.” “With prejudice” means Diamond could refile it at some point (the settlement collapses as an example).

Publishers dismissed include:

There are a few that seem to be missing, so we’ll update this as more notifications/filings are released.
