Right, but the decisions behind creating these comics were made well before the quarantine. The current situation doesn't make the concept of a title planned a year ago a bad decision.
If you mean that putting out any comics right now is a bad decision, then I completely agree with you. I'm just unsure as why you focused on the "How To Read..." book.
But as Marvel have halted printing, and Diamond have halted distribution the comic won't be going out till this is over, anyway.
The comic hasn't even come out yet; you don't know they're an insult.
To someone who needs safespaces, a safespace isn't an insult.
My comment on middle age was on the perceived majority of the comic collector market.
This site alone no longer has any female members, or male members under, I'm estimating, 35.
But the female teenage market is huge; they buy manga, or trades, or digital copies, or self-published books, that most middle-aged males have no idea about.
So hang on, now you're saying you want variant covers and a speculator boom and bust?
I wouldn't even want 17 variant covers for an Alpha Flight relaunch.
That's all true on AF, but Mantlo did a lot worse to them (IMO).
They may not be decisions I agree with or like, but they are creative literary decisions in a world ruled by finance.
Straight out writing off three books that haven't even been published yet as bad decisions just seems bizarre to me.
They could turn out to be the greatest literary pieces ever written by mankind (unlikely I know, but exaggerating to prove a point; they may just be enjoyable. To someone if not me).
They could change a child's life.
They could just make Disney lots of dollars.
