That makes it a prime candidate for digital exclusivity. The eight titles sent to digital so far, didn't they all have only two issues left?

they seem to only be giving digital treatment to series that were both low selling, and planned to end in at most 3 issues, either due to naturally reaching their planned end, or they are cancelled. So, stuff like Black Panther, which I presume they intended to keep going despite low sales, (*edit- oh, i didn't realize that one was ending. ok, so yeah that one may actually go digital. But point stands for other books that are ongoing like Ms. Marvel) will probably be back in print, but greatly delayed, apparently. Minis like Nebula, yeah, they may go digital. Black Widow stuff, especially since they are #1s, (kinda lucky there in a weird way) are likely delayed until a later month so they can tie in to the movie's release. Hell, I'd expect a lot of planned #1s to be delayed, a lot less harm in doing so than pushing them out there too early. Aero and Sword Master are a weird case. they apparently make most of their sales in Asia, where they do quite well, it's just in North America that they sell so poorly. But printing the North American versions can't be economical at those numbers, so maybe the American versions will shift to digital? It seems like they may have more titles than Diamond/shops can handle at this stage, they probably have to be more careful with money and not printing/shipping low sellers at a loss, and the shops also have less money to spend on new stock after months of little to no business, so.... yah... maybe things will be better next month, but I'd expect some more cancellations and moving to digital to save costs and lighten the load for shops and Diamond.

no, we just know that there will be a few prelude issues, they haven't been announced yet. only the event itself was announced to take place in September starting with one of the prelude issue (Creation #1), but we don’t know the exact date.
no words about FCBD yet

Be kind, it's FREE
As a collector, having (say) 4 physical copies of a series and then the last issue or two solely as a file on my Hard Drive is… irritating.
August solicits are out. Unfortunately I won't be moving much out of the no date list...

Marvel seems quite chaotic right now with what is being released physical, digital, tpb or just titles that have apparently vanished into the Bermuda Triangle.(what have you done with Captain America, Marvel?!?) There used to be a time when they held the championship title for communicating with fans, but now it seems as if they've gone radio silent.
