-Is there anything you’d like to say to the comic and game community about helping out your local comic or game shop right now?Marvel to Resume New Comics Releases May 27
https://www.newsarama.com/50048-marve...
Marvel Comics has outlined its plans to resuming shipping weekly comic books following an extended break due to the ongoing pandemic. Marvel will begin releasing new titles starting May 27, with what it calls a “balanced release schedule” aimed at publishing comic books “in the most thoughtful way we can for fans, creators, and the industry during these unpredictable times,” in the words of their release.
Most publishers, including Marvel's main competitor DC, paused distribution of new comic books due to main industry distributor Diamond Comic Distributors shutting down as a result of coronavirus work stoppages. On Friday, Diamond outlined its plans for publishing a new Previews catalog for resumed distribution.
To everyone: Where do you think this is going? Do you think we’ll return to a new normal soon?

Sylvester Stallone has confirmed that Demolition Man 2 is finally happening at Warner Bros. after being (cryogenically) frozen for years.
In a recent Q&A on Instagram, Stallone revealed that a sequel to 1993's Demolition Man is on its way, as he responded to a fan who asked whether there would be a follow-up to the Marco Brambilla-helmed sci-fi actioner.
"I think it is coming," Stallone said. "We're working on it right now with Warner Brothers and it's looking fantastic, so that should come out. That's going to happen."
