Hey guys, this is Ian. Before we get started with today's episode, I just wanted to put this in the front that we recorded this previews episode of CGS last week before news came down that Diamond was going to be halting distribution of their comic books to stores, effective April 1st. So any books that were

0:24.9

slated to go on sale April 1st or later will not be shipped to retailers at this time.

0:32.6

Any retailers in the UK are already feeling this as they didn't receive this week's books. I'm

0:38.9

recording this on March 25th, and anything for an on-sale date of March 25th or later is not

0:45.8

appearing in UK shops at all, and I assume that is also the same for anywhere else in the world

0:53.5

that Diamond would have been shipping to.

0:55.9

Their Alliance Games distributions has been shut down as well. And anything that remains in the

1:01.6

warehouse, that means any back issues or reorders will still be shipped out to stores. However, they will not be shipped out immediately.

1:13.3

So if you're heading to a store expecting to find a book that came out, you know, three or four

1:18.4

weeks ago and they're out of it and they did a reorder, they're probably not going to get it

1:21.8

right away. We decided to release this episode of previews, nonetheless, even though these books that were

1:28.9

originally slated for release in May probably will not be released in May, at least physically.

1:35.0

They will more than likely still find a home on digital and will eventually make it to stores,

1:42.2

but we figured, you know, what's better than hearing us talk about comics

1:45.5

and things that we're looking forward to either way.

1:48.2

So even if this stuff is not going to be released in May,

1:50.9

we're still hyped about it,

1:52.3

and I hope you guys are too.

1:54.4

So without further ado,

1:56.2

here is this month's previews episode.

1:59.3

This is Comic Geekspeak, episode 1764.
