Manga and OGNs will probably continue to release as planned for now, but single issues seem kinda unlikely. Marvel/DC don't wanna push all their readers to CMX.
Marvel Unlimited works just like CMX. Marvel made it to cut out CMX, before Amazon was even involved. So it's their own thing, and is often buggy for streaming comics but great for downloaded comics.
Yeah, not forcing people to pay for inventory they won't be able to sell is a good and necessary first step. The next part is on governments enforcing some manner of rent amnesty for the duration; that and some manner of paid sick leave keeping operating costs as close to zero as possible is how comic stores can survive the crisis. It's gonna suck for a bit, especially if the US can't get its shit together, but this is not gonna be the death of floppy comics.

Manga will probably stop in the west too outside of the Jump stuff that releases on Sundays.
I know what Unlimited is, I just mean the buying aspect of it. Because Unlimited is a subscription service, and I'd never looked at what actually happens if you buy something through it. My assumption was that buying something in Unlimited was an alternate storefront for purchasing things for use on the other Marvel app, which is the one focused on purchases/ownership, and the one that is made by CMX.
He has a lot of work to do to turn an entire island into one big soapland.
maybe it's because I use the browser and not the app but I haven't run into a single issue (heh, puns) since subscribing in 2018 and the quality is great
yall are the ones talking about quality issues and bugginess lmao
I'm basking!
so what are we even talking about
don't make me go read comics to consume something less confusing!
What? You don't want home-grown comics?
Time for sillymonkey to publish his masterpiece, "You Should Eat That Omnibus: The Comic-based Diet"
Maybe it's because my job deals directly with people who are losing jobs over this that I find it weird.
Diamond: If you try to work with others we will shut you down.
*years later disaster hits*
LCS: I am struggling and if I close, I'm done.
Diamond: Be creative.
What device are you reading on?apparently a superior experience to the app!
I read comics on a tablet in the CMX app. When you tell me you're using a browser, I'm picturing you using a laptop or desktop, which sounds cumbersome no matter what the pages look like. If you aren't using a laptop or desktop, how did you end up using a browser instead of an app?
To be fair, Diamond mentions struggles down the production chain and their home state telling employees to work from home.
Yeah, it's a really tricky situation. Depending on how long the blockade lasts stores will probably have months of old issues to get through
Yea I guess I hadnt thought of that. Which just brings me back to why have the entire industry rely on one distributor.
Pretty scary situation all around. I mean the big 3 will be fine. They have plenty of revenue streams besides comics. Its the smaller publishers that im worried about depending on how long this lasts, not to mention every single retailers.
surface pro 2017
I followed van winkle's lead with getting a digital device to read comics on, screen size had to be roughly the same as a single comic page (though it's a little smaller for splash pages which is fine). surface is 12.3" diagonal and a comic is 12.15" and the resolution had to be higher than 1080p and ideally 1440p or higher and the surface is 2736 x 1824
I love my omnis, OHCs, and floppies but it is nice to be able to just whip this out and read whatever
Ah, well that's fair.
I don't know what I would do in this situation were I a publisher. There's risks in every approach. Speaking as a digital reader, I would be very disappointed if single print issues went away. The LCSes even moreso. I have thought about doing a phone order with a couple for a few items during the week. It's not much, we're all stuck atm, but it would be something. I have wanted to get the 5th Edition D&D Eberron book for awhile, I might order that.
