As reported in Publishers Weekly, Enemi Entertainment has partnered with Haven Distributors to produce a new catalog, which will be available to retailers and direct to comic fans around the world.

The catalog will showcase independent comics, including product lines by publishers that have signed with both companies. All orders will be fulfilled by Haven and shipped out of their warehouse in Chicago, IL.

Getting listed with a cover image and solicitation blurb is free and advertising options will be available. The lineup will include new releases printed through Enemi’s printing service as well as existing stock ready for immediate reorders at Haven’s standard flat discount structure.

“This alliance is a perfect fit,” explained Lance Stahlberg, Director of Haven Distributors. “Enemi Entertainment can provide a marketing component that we’ve been missing, helping us reach out to more customers. And Haven can provide Enemi with a solid order fulfillment solution for the fantastic catalog they’ve designed.”

Enemi’s CEO, John Kotsis, added, “There are a lot of retailers and fans with an interest in purchasing independent titles, especially if they can do so easily by accessing a comprehensive resource that lists a broad spectrum of independent publishers, their comics, graphic novels, and related products. Our catalog can be that resource.”

Orders and inquiries can be submitted through www.Havendistro.com or by phone at 877-HAVEN-50, or by fax at 773-506-4749.

ABOUT Enemi Entertainment –
www.Enemi-Entertainment.com

Enemi Entertainment was founded in 2006 as an independent publisher with the intention of putting together a catalog of their own titles that would mail directly to retailers. Founder and CEO John Kotsis thought it would be a better idea to publish a catalog including other independent companies, as well, providing them with greater exposure to the retailers and fans seeking out their titles. Networking with retailers and talking to fans while laying the groundwork for what would become a joint venture with Haven Distribution, John Kotsis discovered that there was interest in the catalog, which is something he is reminded of daily as new titles and products are added by publishers that want to join the independent revolution.

As you read this, thousands of comics are being packed up and shipped from their old home in Salinas, CA to their new home in Chicago, IL.

Cold Cut Distribution, the leading distributor of independent and small to mid-size press comics in the United States, has sold their company assets to Rogue Wolf Entertainment.

Retailers can still access the online ordering system at www.Coldcut.com, but be advised that Cold Cut will not be able to fulfill new orders while the inventory is still being moved and set up in the new warehouse.

“We expect to be back up to full speed by the end of February,” said Lance Stahlberg, Vice President of Rogue Wolf. “We’ve already begun to reach out to customers and publishers, making sure inventory gaps are kept to a minimum as we rebuild.”

“I’d been looking for someone who could take the company the next level, and Lance and his team are exactly the right people for the job,” said Cold Cut's owner, Mark Thompson. “Having Cold Cut located in Chicago will cut shipping times and costs for most of our customers and suppliers, and makes more sense for the entire industry.”

The new owners will continue to offer the same flat discount rate to retailers, and will seek to extend the same terms to all new accounts with previous Cold Cut customers.

“As a team, we bring twenty-four years experience in the distribution business combined with a first-hand understanding of the needs of independent publishers to the table,” Lance added. “We have the resources to take this company to new heights.”

Keep an eye out for more information in the coming weeks!
