I'm finishing paying my layaway of Ms. Marvel #17 and Thanos Quest. There was more than that but I grabbed those books a few weeks ago.

No new stuff of course but the pause is giving me a chance to catch up. This week I got up to date on Oblivion Song from the last few months. Still with it.
Also read first three issues of the new Marvels X I picked up the last time I was at LCS. This was not what I thought it would be. I bought the recent reissue, Marvels Annotated, and enjoyed it. I thought this was more of the same and bought all three issues when I saw them on the rack. This is based in an alternative marvel universe where everyone has developed powers. I was hoping for more of the same from the original - normal person view of the exceptional goings on in the MU. This is a view of a world where the normal person is the exception. Despite it not being what I thought it was I enjoyed it. Im going to stick with it. Marvel seem to be milking the MARVELS success at the moment.

I also received 1-8 of X-Men the hidden years from ebay so they're ready to read next. Also on the to-read pile this week is the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Tempest hardcover (with 3d glasses!).

A question, if you please!  I was looking over my AMAZON wishlist and noticed that all my DC and Marvel omnibuses and hardcovers still have their regular release dates. For example, JB's She-Hulk Omnibus still shows a release date of May 5, 2020.

Does anyone know if hardcovers and omnibuses are in limbo just like new comics for the next few months?  Or do they follow a completely different distribution route?

Thank you!
Marc

Marvel uses a different distributer for bookstore sales, or at lease they used to. I assume DC does as well, but I don't know for sure. So if the books can still get printed (I thought that was getting to be part of the problem as well) it's certainly possible that they'll let the bookstore distributor(s) send them to stores.
