So what happens now with books they bought that diamond now won't deliver and they won't be open to sell? This is not a normal situation
Rewatching Clone Wars so I can watch the final season, and I'm watching the episodes in the supposed "official" order, and there's a timeskip that bugs me because Ahsoka gets her second lightsaber and it's not acknowledged. So I must be misremembering or something.
It's gonna bug me now.

Honestly, no clue whatsoever. I would assume Diamond's decision was made with at least some discussion with publishers. They'll probably deliver whenever restrictions lift and other shipments will be delayed likewise. April books move to June, May to July, etc.
I'd expect DC might use the gap to shore up the 5G stuff.
What's worrying is not just the stores. With a delay, pubs might not need issues, so non-exclusives might see gaps in pay.
Again, mostly speculation there.
My Batman Morrison omni and Sunstone books are going to be here tomorrow. Time to get the hazmat suit to handle the package and throw it in the oven to kill off anything.
....
I won't actually do that because it could cause damage not only to our oven, but to the books as well.

I finished Rat Queens! It's a charming fantasy series for adults about a bunch of badass women whose questing party gets caught up in shenanigans. They also get shitfaced all the time. The selling point of Rat Queens is and always will be the core party members, which the books spend so much time developing -- often at the overall story's expense. They're a bit tropey, but they deeply care about each other and that tends to assuage any issues arising from them often being flawed and occasionally awful. It helps that the dialogue is very funny. It's hard not to fall in love with them, too.
Some folk may not know, but the original artist for Rat Queens was arrested for domestic violence around issues 7 or 8 and was removed from the book. The result is that the Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 deluxe books feel incredibly different. It sucks to say so, but book one is far better. The story is much more cogent, the character development much more purposeful. The story in book two is all over the place, but there are still strong moments. The final issues of the book particularly seemed to come together both in tone and character development, so I'd say Rat Queens has a promising future (tbf, I haven't read any of the 2019-2020 new issues).
What I want more of is direction and world-building. Through two books there are a dozen great characters to tell a story with and no meaningful setting or goals behind them. The city of Palisade isn't enough, especially when none of the Queens really care that much about it. Now that all of the queens' backstories have been well-combed over, hopefully what comes next builds on that foundation.
I said I was going to read Wicked+Divine next, but I'm still waiting on a book to arrive from IST. So back to the backlog RNG for now! It'll be DC One Million! hype.

Beside Silver Surfer Black, I also ended up getting Thanos and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 from the Donny Cates sale. The Thanos Wins storyline is soooo damn good.
I like this because it's Bruce not being a cold hearted asshole, Damian actually having relatable teen issues, and a father son relationship that seems like something "normal." You know, like "how do I live up to your expectations dad?" Also Bruce defining how his kids succeeded his expectations is nice.
Tfw my favourite books all sell badly, and will never make any such cut

I generally find it hard to shake the whole thing where the co creator is a rapist and deadbeat dad. Plus the other creator tried to shaft Tess Fowler to bring back his rapist buddy. Not happy to accept that he is a rapist piece of shit he recently returned to image with a series clearly designed to paint himself as a victim in this whole thing.
Sad because I miss Betty.
Yeah... Although I'll never be sad about Fowler leaving because that part if the book is baaad. Also Betty is still there.

Just got this email from IST regarding the Diamond situation and how it affects them:
They largely don't. If you look at threads asking people if they're bothered by cheaters, it's like 90% people saying they don't care because it doesn't affect anyone else. Some people care, yeah, but you can find someone out there with just about any opinion.
I don't think that's a special segment of the game enthusiast crowd like "Animal Crossing fans." Some people are just like that about cheating/exploiting in games in general. I've used cheat codes since I was a kid, so I don't give a fuck. I don't personally time travel, but I totally get why someone would.
The only part about it I find annoying is that time-travelers will post screens of their progress in the middle of normal threads, and it creates some confusion. Like I thought I was doing something wrong for not having a ladder for a long time, and it turned out that the people who had ladders had just been cheating, and I wasn't supposed to have one yet.

"Willing to do what Batman can't" doesn't feel like the sort of attitude Batman would be fostering
It's nice to have a scapegoat to kill the Joker for you so you can have your cake and eat it too.
Based on my shitty YouTube recommendations New Warriors is the most well known Marvel comic they have in ages likely mostly for the wrong reasons
So congratulations ? at least it would be known for something when it ends in 12 issues
Besides the first marvel enby character i think

My twitter feed is filled with them and I don't even play Animal Crossing
Me using the "Not Interested" button after every single time I watch a comics video:
I don't hold anything against Kibblesmith other than that his blunder upset the audience he was hoping to reach out, but it is pretty bullshit that Grace and Leth weren't allowed to introduce queer characters but we let this guy make a NB character named Snowflake.
My recommendation was going well for a while then recently went to shit againMe using the "Not Interested" button after every single time I watch a comics video:
Ah cheat codes that brings back memories. I got one of those cheat devices for the DS and had used it to give myself tons of Pokémon items like having I think it was x99 Master Balls. And I had used it to get Shaymin in Diamond because that was the only way to get it because Shaymin was one of those limited event only Pokémon's.
Still not as bad as what happens if I even consider clicking a Star Wars video to be fair.

tbh, i wasn't a fan. meandering. no character really gets the attention they deserve.
Not surprising. They have an advantage there, they'll definitely keep pressing it.
Time travelers in Animal Crossing:
Also, nothing is worse than fucking Dark Souls fans.
Meh. I liked the first half fine for the most part, but it hits a certain point where the loss of quality in the story is rather dramatic.
yar. my concept of how far along i should be is totally out of whack. the only one i can trust is tom nook, which says how bad the situation has gotten.
It was a a generalization. It was actually someone back in the Nioh 2 demo thread that really got under my skin.
