Imagine getting months of issues all at once and navigating the spoiler threads, all at once.

Yeah me too! I'm ready to type and type and type in spoilers threads.

It kinda baffles me how they're not going full digital for the time being.

Interesting reading about how digital might possibly be delayed. Or at least is being talked about that being a thing. As a reader who has gone fully digital on new issues of the last four years, five if you don't count Bendis' UXM, the delay won't entice me to start collecting physical copies again. I don't have the space for it quite honestly, and for many reasons I am mostly homebound now so getting to a CBS is inconvenient. But that's just me, that certainly won't apply to everyone. For just me I'll be fine waiting for digital, though what would make the wait more palatable would be if they were to take the price of the digital down a little.

I still buy physical books (but limit myself to just a few a month). I would consider going digital if they would release them. If they decide eventually not to release digital on same day I will probably never go digital. I don't have patience (it is why I never trade waited) however like many here I am running out of room for physical copies.

I think maybe they should go ahead and release the comics in trade form both physically and digitally for now. Have the LCS do the call ahead curbside thing and go from there. With companies using Zoom and Skype and other platforms work can still continue for writers, artist, colorist and editors. Printers as well. Dont know why people try to make things so hard and Diamond needs to be burned downin favor other options as far distribution

[GodfatherIV]

The LCS needs to evolve or die imo and its not up to the comic companies or us the fans and consumers to save them. I think the best LCS would have not only comics and new release books, signings, and even old school book club type gatherings and all that in addition to weekly forums or podcast via Youtube, Twitch, Twitter and others. They should be real deal gaming centers like the old style arcades used to be as well as places with classes on drawing writing etc. Have film rooms for throwback movies and new releases. They need to make it a place to go as a destination. Hell maybe even do tattoos and piercing as well as haircuts and styling and clothing. A whole counter culture and hub.

I'm so ready for all of it! My favorite Wednesdays are when there are 4-5 books released and I can't decide which to read first and which thread to dive into first.

I'm gonna cry.

[Astroman]

Wait... am I to understand that they are going to flood the stores with all the held books roughly at the same time? They aren't going to create a controlled release schedule?

I don't think your average person, especially with layoffs, cutbacks, etc. is going to be able to afford *buying* all those books at once which means the stores have to decide what to keep on the shelves, continue to store, all while waiting for Point of Sale cash to reimburse them for the large amount of stock they have ordered at once.

And if there are habit buyers that decide not to renew their habits (as some have already stated), then there is even less of a customer base.

Unless I'm missing something, it would make more sense for them to keep the same release schedule but just with new dates based upon when things open up again. I mean, this is Project Management 101 stuff.

Of course they will space the releases, tha tis why we they probably won't solicit anything this month

Seems like diamond has the first week of releases already on print, retailers are saying tha tmaybe they can started delivering on the second half of May.

it is crazy that they won't even release the low selling books on digital
