    Interesting that JMS and Alonso are together. I guess he doesn't blame him for some of the problems he had with Marvel.

    I think a lot of that ended up being between JMS And Quesada, or Brevoort.

    Did they really wrote a story about a pandemic started from China?
    Surely they didn't do that on purpose: if I'm not wrong a book needs at least 6 months to be written, printed and shipped, while the Coronavirus epidemic started since the end of January (always if I'm not wrong), but it is a notable coincidence. Anyway I haven't read very carefully (so I could have misunderstood the story about the pandemic), but the book seems good to my, it is more a number 0 than a number 1, because it is more a prologue to the actual story than the start of the actual story, but like I have written it seems good to me.

    I've moved to 100% digital for my funny books (needed to free up space and put less into storage). Does anyone know if AWA is available digitally?

    My LCS placed issue #1 into all of it's Hold Box customers file, over 200 customers, like a week or two before things went Covid-19 Lockdown crazy. I've been reading through my backlog and this was the very last floppy in my pile.
    HOLY MOTHER of GOD coincidences?!?!?! Something like this goes through 6-9 months of lead time before it sees our shelves. Meaning this was being worked on possibly as far back as middle of last summer!

    JMS wrote a story that starts with a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, various extreme style talking heads of different viewpoints, hoarders, orders to stock up and stay inside etc etc etc!! Now the irony is his virus is about a total reversal of what Covid-19 is like with 95% of infected dying and 5% surviving.....and by issue end we realize there is a catch to those 5%(or some of them).
    I was going to totally blow this off but may have to get the other 5 issues of this six-issue limited series when possible.
