Brian Garside of Manage Comics got in touch to tell me,

Your post today "Too Stupid to Quit, too Dumb to Die" really rang true for me. I've been involved in comics retail in some way, shape or form for over 30 years. After days of watching my retailer friends forced to close their stores due to social distancing requests by government officials in US States and Canadian provinces, my team and I decided that we had to do something.

Today we decided to suspend all subscription payments for comic stores until further notice. This represents a large hit to us financially, but it pales in comparison to what comic stores are going through right now.

We also put together a press release that we're sending out, we're calling on our competitors to follow our lead, and we're calling on Diamond and the major publishers to slow down the shipment of product during a period when many of their retail partners can't physically sell comics.

If there is anything that we can do for any comics retailer over the days, weeks, and months to come, we encourage them to contact us, whether they're a Manage Comics shop or not, and let us know what they need. We will help out in any way we can, combining our comics retail experience with our online marketing expertise.
