Taking all the precautions but the joys of being a store manager means I gotta work 6 day weeks to cover staff who just don't feel comfortable coming to work or live with vulnerable people. I understand it, it's fine, I'm happy to help.
Boredom has made me return to dirty comics. I hope I don't get sick from reading American comics.
My issue with the quarantine isn't really the quarantine itself. It's the slow drip of any real news. So I find myself desperate for any new headlines. I mean, besides the ones about Trump sending everyone back to work already to save his precious economy.
I don't think failed business people should be allowed to be president.

I kinda got obsessed with this "pruning based on what sells" idea so here's the thought experiment I ran: I looked at the sales data of every comic that released on 02/12 this year, per Comichron, and looked at the top 5 books for both DC and Marvel. The date is completely arbitrary, I just wanted to see what the line would look like on a random week with only the five most popular books that weren't specials, events or minis for sale; I picked 5 because that makes for a 20 bucks trip to the comics store, which is basically equivalent to a night at the movies. Anyway here goes:
DC:
-Green Lantern Season 2
-Superman
-Flash
-Wonder Woman
-Catwoman
Marvel:
-X-Men
-Amazing Spider-Man
-Immortal Hulk
-Venom
-Thor
DC:
-Green Lantern Season 2
-Superman
-Flash

-Catwoman
Marvel:
-X-Men

-Thor
Don't worry, American comics are over soon. Season finale is like next week or something.
I mean, not a bad line up for the big two. Beef them up with more stories and characters with lots of great artists, I'm down.

I think that's being a little too dramatic. It's definitely not the end of the world, but there's certainly going to be a new normal for a while.
I don't want to play D&D, I want to eat snacks and watch other people play.
D&D is for total squares you're better off playing Vampire, like cool people do
The one that started the video game? I've never played either but was interested in what I heard of the game sequel.
I love those designs, but I can't get over jacked Daken. He's so massive.
Just rub one out. None of those things AND it passes time. No regrets.

I think the latter's likely. They need that physical audience more than pleasing us digi kids.

But the big 2 need to put their shit and I dunno if they can wait. It's still a week for them to decide something but yeah, this is gonna be weird.
Comic stores order comics ahead of time. That's what solicitations are for.
The Big Two aren't going to fuck over comic stores that paid for April books back in January. And if they do, that's a big warning sign for the DM, akin to some of those first-run movies being moved to digital.
