    https://www.newsarama.com/49708-marv...hing-line.html

    A bit menacing not to have the specific list.

    reposted from other thread: They must be optimistic which hopefully means they have a reason to. I can only guess that they still need enough stuff on the shelves for people to want to go to the shops and enough for the shops to make it through this; there must be expectations of low sales and combined with returnability (is Marvel offering that or just deep discounts) they can't be paying for and publishing work they are just losing money on so maybe a concentrated market will see sales move to these remaining books.

    Or, they are preparing for digital which again expecting diminished sales on that platform they will want to reduce the risk.

    I'm gonna guess it's gonna be mostly one-shots and "smaller" selling books

    Unhappy

    Even though we knew this was coming it is still a sad day.

    To the left.

    To the left.

    All the non-X-Men/Avengers/Spider titles in the box to the left!

    I was expecting this to happen. They are probably expecting a dip in sales (specially physical ones), so reducing their publishing line is probably a sound idea.

    I think the main event will be fine. They did way too many tie-ins for it, however, so some of them might end up getting suspended.

    Agreed.

    Oh, shit. I hope Emperor Hulkling doesn't get affected. It was definitely the tie-in I was most excited for. D:

    I feel like the Outalwed initiative is now dead-on-arrival.

    If I had to guess, I'd bet that a lot of the Empyre tie-in minis will be among the cut titles.

    That's fine IDGAF just give me something to read I'm fed up! Just give me Lords of Empyre Hulking!! And main Series Empyre and I am good! Most of those tie ins seemed excessive anyway, though it sucks ass for those who put their hard ass work into them though.
