Odds and ends March 24, 2020: Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good.

Oh my Thanos... Tom Holland has self quarantined and feels a bit ill. It could be CORONAVIRUS, or something else entirely. Regardless it's good that he has gone into self-isolation until he gets better. Hopefully it's nothing serious so here's sending best wishes and fast recovery to Spider-Man... I mean, Tom Holland.

Speaking of Marvel related Stuff. Hasbro's supply chain might get all the CORONAVIRUS kinks fixed by April. Also they saw an uptick on their stocks. This mighr mean that Marvel Legends will begin to roll out smoothly in April. Hopefully I can catch the Stepford Coockoos...  and the upcoming Spider-Man retro wave.

Still on Marvel related news, well not exclusive to Marvel because this also has an effect on DC Comics image IDW etcetera... due to CORONAVIRUS, the Diamond Comics Distributors temporary shutdown announcement has created a tidal wave. If the main comic book distributor is not distributing comics, there are no more physical comics for the time being...

This is scary, because Comics may end up going digital only and that is not good. As much as I hate scalpers and Speculator Market lacking physical copy will bring a huge negative impact to the comic book industry. As much as I hated variant covers and other gimmicks that pushed sales of books will no longer be relevant. And by going digital-only you know what's going to increase right?


Piracy will increase and it may have an adverse effect to the already waning industry.
