COVID 19 and the comic book industry

So a few days ago…well weeks ago, Diamond Comics Distributors Inc issued a statement saying they would no longer be sending out product effective April 1st. The announcement effectively put the entire comics business on pause. No new books would be going out, period. That’s what the internet was saying, anyways. But is that the case? Are comics effectively halted? What does this mean for digital sales of comics? There’s a lot of questions that need answering so I contacted three people with different experiences, and different takes on what will happen in the coming months.
