The small acorns are already in place. And, if they published the characters in GN format, they already have distribution in place to deliver them. It would hurt LCSs, though, which would not be good for the hobby. Arkham, Icculus308win and onlyweaknesskryptonite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever picks it up will have to wade through a mountain of licensing and exclusivity rights internationally.. but eventually will get everything under one banner (for example, “Swamp Thing” is streaming exclusively on Foxtel / Binge in Australia and isn’t available on Amazon Prime) Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F For Fake Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Wouldn't trust the source any farther than I can throw 'em (and the writing made my eyes bleed), but on a gut level the "facts" do sound right, and indeed, many have seen this coming for some time now. The pandemic may have been the final straw. I don't buy new DC's (or much of any news books, really) so I don't have a horse in that race, but I'd be heartbroken to see the collected editions division go. Certainly someone will pick up these licenses, and I could see IDW or someone like that picking up the collections license. But more importantly, as we discussed in another thread recently, I don't know how comic shops survive the shutdown of the #2 publisher of new floppies. The weekly buyer is still the life blood that drives most of these shops. I'd imagine the fallout will be huge unless something is immediately put into place, but how quickly could that happen? It's definitely a strange/scary/interesting time to be a fan of the material. Ken Aldred and Monstro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
