big bang comics的零售商John Hendrick对Newsarama说:“不幸的是原来有意加入comichub平台的人现在不参加了,尽管读者和作者大力支持这个计划,但是我们也完全理解上述这种态度转变。这也许不是一个长期的解决方案,但是我们也只是想把它作为暂时周转的计划,帮大家撑过疫情即可”
原文 ComicHub's distribution solution to the comic industry's coronavirus turmoil will not be implemented. "The ComicHub advance digital reader copy initiative isn’t going to move forward right now,” retailer John Hendrick of Big Bang Comics told Newsarama. "Unfortunately publishers who were interested in joining the platform now aren’t and we can 100% understand their decision despite the positive reception by customers and creators. This might not have been a long-term solution but we didn’t need it to be one. We just needed it to tide us over until the industry returns to normal. Whenever that is but hopefully soon." The original plan to allow customers to order comics through ComicHub, a point-of-sale system used by retailers that allows readers to purchase books from their local comic book shops online, which would give them access to digital versions of the comics. The local comic shops would get the money for the order and would be responsible for giving the consumers physical copies of the comics at the conclusion of the outbreak. The hope was that, through this method, retailers, publishers and creators would still be paid. With the collapse of the ComicHub plan, retailers and readers have no way of receiving new comics following Diamond Comic Distributors shipment and payment suspension.
