A lot has happened since the blockbuster January 2025 announcement that Diamond Comics Distributors declared bankruptcy. In April and May 2025, a Baltimore bankruptcy court approved the fragmentation and sale of Diamond Distributors to two corporations, Universal Entertainment and Ad Populum/Sparkle Pop. Diamond Distributors would later change its name to DCD II to differentiate itself from its bankrupt predecessor. DCD II would then file motions to stop Ad Populum/Sparkle Pop from selling and profiting from the sale of consignment inventory still viable in the previous Diamond Distribution system.
