As you probably know by now, starting April 1, 2020, Diamond Distribution will temporarily discontinue shipping products to comics book retailers. This clearly has an effect upon ComicList, as we exist to let you all know what comics, books, and other items are available each week in comic book shops.

We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you all apprised. Right now, multiple publishers have stated that some graphic novels and trade paperbacks will be available, in any comics book stores that are still open for business, through book distributors. DC Comics has also announced they are looking into ways of getting single issue comic books into stores without using Diamond Distribution.

MESSAGE FROM NEW ENGLAND COMICS

Updated News From NEC

To our valued customers, If you
haven't heard, Massachusetts Governor Baker
has extended the shutdown of all non-essential
businesses until May 4th. We want to assure you
that NEC has every intention to reopen as soon
as possible once we're permitted to!

We also want to assure you that any comics
in YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS or on hold, whether
in-store or via FFAST, will be saved and made
available for you as soon as the product arrives
at NEC. We hope to have all these comics
waiting for you when we re-open. 

Be aware that these releases are not available
to anyone until the publishers start up again.
This means we know of no other source
which could have them beforehand.

Starting March 29th and continuing thru April,
there will be NO new comics released in print or
digitally from any of the major comic publishers
including Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, etc.
This will continue until our distributor reopens.
Our expectation is that once we re-open
there will be new comics being released
every week once again.
 

Events are happening rapidly these days
and news gets updated constantly. We will
update our customers and friends as soon as
we acquire updated news on this situation.

As always, we at NEC thank ALL our loyal
customers who have supported us for the last
38 years! We look forward to many more years
of happily serving your comic needs.

Stay safe, be well and we'll see you soon!

Your friends at 

New England Comics
