CBR looks at how Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy has impacted the comics industry – In short, late comics shipments to affected areas, many closed stories in same for obvious reasons, and a number of companies closed because they’re based in New York City:
“We won’t have a full accounting of how this has impacted our freelancers in the area until we can regroup later in the week, but, for now, we’re just grateful that everyone appears to have weathered the storm safely,” [Valiant Entertainment's Hunter] Gorinson continued. “And that goes not only for Valiant, but our friends and colleagues at Marvel, DC, Archie, and the plethora of amazing local retailers across the five boroughs, and all of our fellow New Yorkers citywide as well.”
It’s obviously a minor concern in the grand scheme of things, but it goes without saying: Hopefully everyone connected with this ridiculous industry we call comics has come through this whole thing as unscathed and as safely as possible.

I suppose it’s not a bad week for DC books to be late since it’s only annuals. I don’t think anything is must read, though I am looking forward to Action and Swamp Thing.

and seriously did we need a post about the frivolity of getting your comics late when people’s lives were destroyed or taken away due to a storm?
you had to make a post of how life was disrupted due to late comics?
