Fuck off Rob, your publisher is going to burn.

Proprietors could just home deliver and they'd be in far better straits than not opening at all.

Hibbs has also demanded that trades be held back even longer to protect singles sales and for digital to be held back even longer than that.

>your publisher
?

What a faggot.

Home deliver and the occasional outdoor comic thing while its sunny could work

Am also hoping for jump style collections if the most visible heroes and heroines in a self contained cleaned up comic universes.

Oh no, the gatekeeping shitholes run by antisocial freaks who have no business being in a customer service industry might not make it.

Should anyone at Warner actually give a shit? They are a media company looking to make money. They should not concern themselves with some guy somewhere that opened his own independent shop with his own money and effort. It's not anyone else's problem when some indy store falls under due to changing times and no one at AT&T or Disney owes him anything.

>DC tries to save comic book industry.
how so? They picked their biggest competitor to run their supply chain? This is like picking Amazon to supply a grocery store with food.

That would actually be smart as Amazon is also trying to get into b2b supply chains.

It seems kind of cruel but this is kind of a valid question. Especially when it comes to rants like

DC and Marvel are just media companies trying to make and sell a product. This guy is just a buyer of a product, that;s as far as their relationship goes or ever should go. He seems to want special preferential treatment so he can make more money off his own wares and not really in any interest of DC or Marvel at all. Why should they care what helps him make a tad more scratch or not? They already made their money when they sold to him. The rest is entirely up to him and him alone to make his own living off of.

And it's not like he is some special contracted DC/Marvel distribution employee. He is an independent operator of his own store that buys their products so he can sell at a markup.

At the end of the day the media companies are going to do what works best for them and the independent operators are going to have to live with that change.

Image, user.

>Should anyone at Warner actually give a shit?
Yes. Without autistic collectors who buy only in comic book stores industry will lose half of profits.

That isn't sales from customers user.
That is independently wealthy comic geeks selling the modern trash product to half sane obsessives.

Comics, well the big two comics, have been shit for a few generations now. Nothing in recent memory is any good or worth reading on any level.

They KNOW that they are producing trash product and the industry is kept afloat by sheer momentum, sunken cost fallacy, and foolish idiocy of out of touch creeps.

>#EverEverEverEver

that was hardest i ever physically cringed

At this point it's hard to tell who shares the lion share of the blame, shitty publishers or faggot LCSs

Wasted dubs, Lazybro.

He can afford it, since he lives rent free in yours.

>Why should one shop owner hold the rest of the industry down?

The country isn't going to reopen by 28 April. It's going to cost DC a lot of money to print books that nobody is going to buy from the retailers, because the retailers will still be closed.

There's no advantage to reopening early. You just die.

People are buying from retailers though. Some stores are doing online shipping or curbside pickup depending on what the stay at home orders are in each area. It varies by state, so there's no countrywide policy forbidding comic stores from doing shit.

He is butthurt that DC cut ties with him for beign a cokehead, but not with Jim Lee.

that they aren't using this to push digital is insane. thought at least there are rumors DC is trying to put something together

Well it looks like he's getting the last laff.
#pencilsdown

As mentioned by other shops are tryong to operator via curb-side pickup or selling through ebay. So DC wants to supply these guys with comics, while Hibbs is being a faggot because he doesn't want to adapt.

By and large, they're closed, you autist.

Some stores are open for mail-order or curbside pickup, at least for the time being. I know of one store that is still open to go in but they limit the number of people who can be in it, whereas in another state all comic shops are closed because of the mandatory order for non-essential businesses.

>California
why am I not surprised?

Considering that Rob was a shitty manager of his IPs, i will said he is in the frontline of people that didn't want the market crash and burns. Otherwise Marvel will not be able to sell shit like Major X.

Because it lives rent free in your head

Doesn't look like it.

Yeah, it does, unless you zoom out so far that a single tick covers an entire country.

Or maybe because California is your Emilia-Romagna?

It's the typical tumblr/twitter tall and it's really annoying and I noticed people who never talked like this started adopting it which doesn't help in me taking them seriously.

>That isn't sales from customers user.
That's the point. And the DS knows that moving to other markets will be a disaster for them. But the choice is a catastrophe or a total extinction.
