Marvel Comics Unveils Digital Comics Plan For Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic!

This follows earlier reveal of supports for struggling comic book retailors.

Here’s the announcement.

      To all our partners in the retailer community,

      Thank you for all your notes, discussions, and the absolute resolve we have heard and seen from you over the past weeks. This situation has been challenging for everyone, and the safety and well-being of you, your families, and your communities continue to be at the front of our minds.

      As you know, unfortunately there will not be any new print titles available at your shops this week. Marvel will also not be releasing any new comic book titles digitally on April 1. This is a fluid situation with details changing every day, so we appreciate your patience and understanding as we all navigate our way through this. As soon as more information is available, we will outline our longer-term plans and opportunities to support you and the industry.

      If you have any questions in the meantime, please continue to reach out and share your feedback. Revised release dates for our April 1 titles will be shared in the coming weeks.

      Please stay safe and well.

      Dan Buckley

      President, Marvel Entertainment
