Embargo ends on skip-week comics

Today sees the release of embargoed comics that shipped last week to avoid Diamond's scheduled skip-week.

The comics distributor revealed earlier in the year that it would not be shipping new comics in the week after Christmas.

The free comic Origins of Siege - a prologue to Marvel's forthcoming crossover - is out tomorrow alongside Blackest Night #6 - the highly-anticipated latest issue in DC's miniseries.

The comics were shipped to retailers last week along with the previous week's comics.

Scanned images of Blackest Night #6 were leaked on to the internet last week ahead of its release today.
