By now, a lot of you have heard the story that there is a new initiative in the Comics industry being spearheaded by #ComicHub, the Comics Retail System a lot of stores use these days.
And there are a lot of questions going around too!
Let’s see if we can clear up a few bits...

What this will be, effectively, is a pre-ordering service where you buy a physical copy of a new comic (to be filled later when shipping goes back to normal) BUT you get to go to the Comichub website and read a digital version of that straight away,
There are NO EXTRA COSTS for customers!
What this does is that it allows retailers, publishers and creators to still get paid in these very uncertain times.
It’s NOT a digital first initiative! Customers will still be buying their comics from their normal comic book store!

We really believe that this can help EVERYONE right now.
It means that YOU can still read the comics you love and support your shop.
It means that creators will still get regular income.
It means that shops will get sales at a time where it's sorely needed.

There is more information coming out soon, with further details.
We wish it was ready to announce right now, but this is being done in very different time zones, so things are taking a little longer to put together.
But we're getting there!

This was set-up by people that LOVE the comics industry.
And are looking at ways to minimize the stress of this unheard of situation.
These are crazy times, let's see if we can make things a bit better!

This initiative will be worldwide, with every comic book store in the world being able to join! https://twitter.com/philamsel/status/1245399618688634880
As with everything in the world, yes, probably!
Right now we're in a situation where comics can't be shipped out to stores physically, so this would allow you to pay and read your comics in a regular, weekly way, AND then when they start shipping they're in your store for you! https://twitter.com/JMartinCoelho/status/1245401355008663553

The plan is to keep on selling physical copies, the digital versions are an extra. But someone else just made a very good suggestion... https://twitter.com/LetsTalkMock/status/1245403271201796098
The rest of the thread continues here due to a Twitter threading mishap: https://twitter.com/TheBigBang_/status/1245404203830448133
They log in to the customer ComicHub portal and read it from there.
You can pick what comics you want to buy right there, you don't have to advance buy ALL the comics in your pull list if you don't want to! https://twitter.com/Sector001Comics/status/1245412682108481541

Not right now as far as we are aware. https://twitter.com/ShaneMBailey/status/1245414088416641024
No.
The goal isn't to pivot customers into digital, this is an extra being offered on top of your physical copy. https://twitter.com/jimmygcolour/status/1245416397443923970

No, comic shops don't have to get the full ComicHub POS, they can just join this initiative we're talking about and it will be just the $100 per month! https://twitter.com/TopFivePodcast/status/1245432241531936768
It will indeed!
Vai estar disponível para qualquer loja no mundo inteiro! https://twitter.com/andrebelem_/status/1245434611401986051
