I hope so, but man. That is not a bet I would make at this point.
Nightwing was only released in trades. 9 volumes, I believe. 3 for Robin. 3 for Birds of Prey, however his Birds of Prey goes for about 46 issues, I think? Basically, they stopped trade releasing it. So past volume 3, you'll have to start reading it in singles sadly.
Also if some Batman aficionados can step in, but I do believe he helped out quite heavily on Knightfall, since Bane is his baby.
what ever happened to that industry changing thing he was teasing
did that amount to anything

Well... DC already said their books are coming out the last week of the month. Marvel will likely fall in line once the floodgate opens imo.

I'm not going to be too hard on Higgins for allowing himself to believe that publishers actually care about LCSs, rather than just paying lip service to it. Everything is fucked right now, the stakes are very high for someone like him, and it's easy to get caught up in things emotionally at a time like that.
DC coming out with an announcement of a $250,000 donation to help LCSs was incredibly insulting.

They clearly hadn't put in the work if they announced that solution with no partners. It looks like they just wanted to install comichub in as many stores as possible.
I think it's incredibly suss that he and a few other comic store people were making statements for comichub and not comichub themselves.
I agree on the quarter mil and the Jim Lee 60 commissions thing
The guy's looking at a profitable business that he spent a decade buildling implode over something completely outside of his control. Lots of people do stupid looking stuff in that situation.
Fingers crossed.

Reread Batman Universe today and yep, it's still my favorite Batman story since Morrison's run.
The quarter mil is a contribution to a charity, not propping up the shops by it's self.
DC's archival guy died. I've definitely seen him showing off their vaults in some video or other.

DC Comics' Dale Crain Dies, Family Trying To Bring Him Home
Up until ten years ago, Dale Crain was a comic book creator, who drew issues of Thor, The Twelve and Batman, as well as a colourist. But he is best known

But it's a charity no one else is really going to donate to. LCSs dying is an issue no one is thinking about other than people in and around that tiny industry. It's really up to the publishers to save shops here. If they don't do it, it isn't happening.
I've long thought the end of comic shops was a foregone conclusion. It's really just a matter of how long they can hold out. But the end is coming sooner or later.
"BUT WE GOTTA OPEN OUR COUNTRY BACK UP" -Some orange tub of shit
And I mean, you can't really make a solid argument against it at that point.
We did Brexit and within days we had a global pandemic
just saying
You think that matters to a headlines chaser like Musk? Anyway it's all hypothetical lol
I Googled Lost Girls because no idea what it is and if you just type in the name itself what comes up is an original Netflix murder/drama movie with the same name. Anyways um yeah this is now another one of those comics that I now unfortunately know way to much about.
You know, I kinda got that feeling too, that comichub was seeing this as an 'opportunity'. But at the end of the day it is some comic store owners who are trying to figure something out at least. Instead of the big two who are sticking their heads in the sand.
It's probably for the best that you looked it up yourself, because I don't think people believe we're telling the truth when we say it's an Alan Moore comic where underage girls jerk off a horse.
Doggo-san is turning into a pervert and we should all be ashamed. This is our fault.
"FROM THE WRITER OF WATCHMEN and V FOR VENDETTA COMES THE NEXT HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER YOU NEVER SAW COMING..."
Whoa! I've never read it because people just make it sound gross, but that's more than I expected.
NO
On the Google preview images I saw one of the covers which is a naked woman in a tub or pool and a fish monster coming at her. That instantly told me all I needed to know.
But did you read about the part where she masturbates a horse?
I don't want to exaggerate this, but I also don't want to load up my issues to get my facts straight, so if I'm a little off here, sue me:
That book has a brutal fish-man rape scene that lasts for the bulk of one issue, then more rape continue in the subsequent issue. And it's only a four-issue mini, so the rape content is a big part of the whole thing.
It's really unpleasant and shitty, and it's just a garbage comic.
I flipped through the series in a bookstore one time. I don't remember seeing that bit, but there was a creepy rape scene.
Alan Moore is one fucked up dude.
It's hard for me to reconcile these things being from the same Alan Moore that gave me all those wonderful ABC comics.
