Dear Gabe,

Thank you for posting the DC solicits.

I hope you are going to send in some clips for this episode.

Aloha!

I hope this "strategy" doesn't back fire on them

I only get my comics from DCBS once a month. For customers like myself who use Previews (and the podcast) to order, it means the DC section might as well not exist this month.
For retailers, I wonder if they will get an extra two weeks to order? Will the cutoff be extended?
In the best scenario, everyone has less time to look at their offerings for the month.
