Why are faggots so angry about this you don't even pay for comics
Aaron Reed
I'm pretty sure it's not every retailer upset about it.
Michael Anderson
Too late, I already canceled my pull list and got a subscription to BLACKED.com instead. It's cheaper, and the writing is better.
Parker Ross
Bendis seems up your alley though.
Juan Barnes
What does it mean for stores?? Will they not carry DC (when they open)
Angel Murphy
>reading batman when it's a prelude to killing off bruce to replace with a new young batman uh
Zachary Taylor
Bruce will be back in a year. It's not even the first time.
Jace Adams
Skimmed the link, it seems some are hesitant because they don't know the discount/deal the new distributors are giving, or how this will effect their deal with Diamond, or something.
Honestly all this shit was just announced. Wouldn't we just have to wait a month and see what works and what doesn't? Trial and error?
Brayden Stewart
So now that DC has made its move, it won't be long before Marvel also ditches Diamond, right?
Bentley Jenkins
I mean it's been almost 15 years since the last time, so I guess it's due to happen again.
Is this the 3rd or 4th time?
Gavin Allen
Marvel's subscriptions were already being handled by one of the distributors since it turned out one of them was Midtown Comics.
Jose King
They better, I want to read the next issue of Immortal Hulk already damnit.
Kayden Sanders
The last time was Snyder's Endgame/DCYou thing with Commissioner Gordon becoming SWAT Batman, 2015.
Jack Kelly
And DC couldn't even be bothered pretending that it would last, since the Justice League books still had Bruce Wayne as Batman.
Jordan Cruz
If it works Marvel will copy it and Diamond won't have any contracts with the big 2.
David Gutierrez
I think for a lot of retailers it's a case of better the devil you know than the devil you don't. New distributor means new pricing, new contracts, etc. And signing a new contract is a daunting prospect if you don't even know if you'll be open next month.
Cameron Bell
I'd expect Image and especially Dark Horse. Richardson has been pretty vocal in the past about how broken the Diamond model is.
Carson King
>*expect Image and especially Dark Horse to follow suit.
Gabriel Diaz
Thank god I live in a country where you can still buy comic books on the newsstands I only go to a comic shop when I miss a number and can't find it on the stands anymore What the fuck is wrong with Americans?
>Batman writer James Tynion IV subsequently announced Batman #92 will go on sale sometime in June. DAMMIT! No Punchline for a while.
Marvel should get their shit together too. People want Immortal Hulk and Amazing Spider-Man We don't even know if that's true anymore. 5G probably died with Dan
direct market has more people pick up the books they put out compared to magazine rack/newstand. they suffer less returns/refunds(assuming they agree to even offer returns for unsold books; they have more leverage in the direct market)\
they're still retarded for not embracing digital
Thomas Anderson
5G is over. Bummed about Punchline, what the fuck.
Nolan Torres
>It's cheaper, and the writing is better Is this supposed to be wrong?
Elijah Walker
5G spreads corona virus anyway.
Samuel Stewart
Out of all conspiracy theories, this one just baffles me. What kind of retard thinks that electromagnetic waves have anything to do with a fucking virus?
Luke Jenkins
IIRC doesn't DC own some sort of stake in Diamond and also has a first-look buyout contract with them?
Jayden Walker
The ones that are legitimately mentally ill.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
China is using 5G components they manufacture as infection vectors to insure a continuous spread of the coronavirus outside of China to destroy foreign economies so that China can position itself as world hegemon.
Colton Wilson
Nope. Geppi bragged about getting rid of "DC has a chance to buy us" clause when they renegotiated a few years ago. Then a few weeks ago he said he wanted to buy out DCs trade distributor instead (Penguin Random House)
Leo Ortiz
OK, I'll humor you. Let's assume that China wants to spread the virus. Why the fuck would they do it with "5G components as vectors"? All they'd have to do is send out infected people to different parts of the world.
