Will new books be on sale next week?

catering to the shops makes sense. catering the distribution company doesn't at all

Where is Cable 2?

[JB]

part of it is tied to empyre/x-swords events too

ugh, this was THE perfect time to push digital, but noooooooo had to bow down to diamond and bitching shops. whole industry being kept propped up by a single string lol

That's true about the events. Many shops may still be closed and many people will understandably be hesitant to go out and about. To release big events with a chunk of readership missing is a tough gamble.

Where is Cable 2?

Hanging out in limbo with X-Men, X-Factor, Hellions, Wolverine, and CotA

[Digifiend]

Seriously. Learn lessons from DC, Marvel.

I can see not wanting flood the market, especially when all stores aren’t open, but this is just dumb.

The good news is that comics are coming back, the bad news is that releases will be staggered over months.

I'm good with this.
They're obviously giving themselves, the printers, the retailers and distributors time and opportunity to see how the US as a whole do over the next few months. Enough time to recover, rebuild and re-establish.
They're playing it safe...and rightly so. You all are still in deep shyt with this pandemic.

You ALL just basically survived two months without any comics at all...the level of selfish whine and bitchery is astounding...considering that as we sit here typing...the. US. is. still. frakked. ALL. round. not. just. the. CB industry.

[Steroid]

Glad to see some dates but damn I only got one X-book coming through July 8th(X-Force).

[Devaishwarya]

I'm fortunate I have 6 books releasing between May 27th and July 8th.

[Kitty&Piotr<3]

Oh man, no X-Force until July.
Covid-19 is lame.

Well, it's funny how every other entertainment industry adapted pretty easily.
Streaming for tv shows and music, movies being released for home release instead, theatres and gigs doing paid streaming. DO NOT tell us we are selfish when the publishers could have gone digital but chose not to because they are greedy.
We are not whining, how dare you!

I'll agree with that. Their print/digital divide isn't quite the same as the comics industry but Dungeons & Dragons has been heavily pushing the online side of their play experience with freebies and tutorials and discounts these past few weeks.

Considering how many times different dates and plans have been announced for getting new comics out over the last two months, only to be scrapped within days or even hours, I wouldn't take the most recently announced schedule as any sort of guarantee. With many states foolishly rushing into reopening against the advice of experts, we could easily be right back in lockdown mode by the end of the month if new cases and deaths surge as predicted.

[Devaishwarya]

Exactatiously.
It's a tentative roll-out...necessarily so...for now, until the pandemic situation looks more hopeful.

[Askani5]

When does the next x-men issue come out? I wish there was at least 2 xbooks per wk.
