During this incredibly difficult time for the comic book industry, Dark Horse Comics has taken the decision to suspend sales of all digital comics whilst the physical distribution of books has been suspended.
The publisher has released a statement, available on their Twitter page which details their stance on releasing digital content in the current climate.
