Bob Iger Marvel Disney Coronavirus

Marvel announced its plans to resume releases for its comics starting on Wednesday, May 27.

Because comic book shops were among the many businesses forced to close their doors due to the coronavirus, Marvel release schedule for its comics was impacted by the ongoing pandemic. Now, as businesses in some areas begin the process of preparing to reopen, Marvel has revealed its plan to resume shipping comics to comic book shops starting on May 27:

Over the next few weeks, Marvel will keep a balanced release schedule for its comics and trade collections as the industry continues to restart distribution and comic shops begin to reopen and adapt to current social distancing policies. Stay tuned for more information as Marvel continues to release new comics in the most thoughtful way we can for fans, creators, and the industry during these unpredictable times.

Marvel also advised readers to check with their local comic book shops about other services they may offer, including holding or creating pull lists, curbside pick-ups, special deliveries and other options to accommodate as businesses plan to implement social distancing policies.
