After announcing a halt to the distribution of comic books due to the ongoing global pandemic, Diamond Comic Distributors plans to resume distribution of new weekly product. A letter sent to publishers and retailers reads, in part:

While there are many steps and conversations that need to happen between today and resuming distribution of new weekly product, we are currently targeting mid- to late-May with the hope that, as an industry, we can all work toward that timeframe. Of course, as we have all seen, target dates sometimes need to be adjusted in this ever-changing new-normal. But we cannot wait for firm dates. We have started the planning process and are having these important conversations with publishers and retailers so that once we have more clarity, we are in a position to restart and scale operations over time.

Product that was originally scheduled for release on April 1st and 8th will be distributed over a longer period, allowing publishers to work with printers to deliver new product without further interruption.

IDW has announced a ‘Pencils Down‘ for most (if not all) of its writers and artists due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr. Larry Hama has left the following Facebook post regarding the announcement by the publisher:

“ Just got ‘pencils down’ on a storyline I’ve been doing for 275 issues. This is a hiatus at present. I am wrapping up the end of ‘Snake Hunt’ so that it will be ready to go into the chute once the smoke clears.”

Comic industry is one of the industries which has been affected hard by the pandemic due to its distribution nature. With essential services taking up the front lines, comic book publishers are stepping back as a support and to minimize the loss.

Rob Liefeld Gives Fans the First Look at SNAKE EYES: DEADGAME

Snake Eyes has long been the most mysterious member of the G.I. JOE team, but within the pages of DEADGAME, he’ll finally be forced to play his hand! How long can he keep his past classified… and what deadly secrets will come back to haunt him?

“G.I. JOE was my first obsession. Those were the toys in the sandbox with me, kung fu grip, eagle eye, I had them all. G.I. JOE is a world of characters that I have always aspired to participate in,” says Liefeld. “Snake Eyes was a profound influence on my creating Deadpool. Producing this series is an all-time bucket list achievement for me.”

“I’ve seen Rob’s excitement about G.I. JOE for years,” says John Barber, IDW Editor-In-Chief. “I’m thrilled and amazed to see it all finally coming together in the biggest SNAKE EYES comic book in decades — maybe ever! There’s a real electric charge in the air every day as new pages come in — every one seemingly topping the last!”

The first issue of SNAKE EYES: DEADGAME will arrive in stores in June 2020.
