You could run all of DC's publishing for a fraction of a fraction of a piece of a Warner Bros film, and they put those on hold with no problems. People just need to be patient. Also, Diamond didn't stop shipping comics because they felt like it, the comic book industry asked them to, because if a lot of us can't even open, we don't need new stock. Diamond defaulting on paying publishers after only one week of being closed was a bit of a surprise, sure, but it was never in doubt that they would start shipping again as soon as it was reasonable. (It could be argued that May 20, which will be the first new comic day, is still a little early for most states, but I think my store will be about ready for new stuff by then, so it suits me.)Speaking of which, I ordered the first week of DCs from their new distributor because I thought at the time that I wouldn't otherwise be able to get them, but now that I know that I will get the rest from Diamond on May 20, I'm happy to wait, and I would have done if DC hadn't lied and said that "all orders from Diamond are cancelled."</blockquote>
