Time Bomb Comics have released their fantastic next cover by Norm Konyu but have also announced the immediate future of the title on their social media.
“Regular readers of Quantum will know that in recent months we’ve had challenges getting the comic into shops when it needed to be, due to circumstances outside our immediate control. For example, the current issue 11 was unfortunately delayed by three weeks due to a printer error that necessitated a full reprint.
Consistent direct to newsagent sales have also been challenging, with many readers telling us they just can’t get hold of a copy due to factors such as their local WHSmith closing, or nearest independent newsagents just not interested in stocking comics and magazines.
Delays and lack of availability are frustrating for readers, but they also have a knock-on effect for us, as most of the revenue generated for the sales of the comic fund the advance costs needed to publish it. Basically, if we don’t receive it when we need it, then it creates a problem.
So, rather than continue to swim against the tide, it seemed the sensible thing would be to get out of the water for a while, which would help put us in a better position to continue publishing Quantum rather than not publish Quantum at all.
In the meantime here’s the regular cover to Quantum issue 12, featuring cover art from Norm Konyu, that will be published later in the year.”
