Dynamite Entertainment is the latest publisher to halt digital releases of its titles during the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The publisher released a statement explaining its decision, stating it wanted to "level the playing field" when it comes to new releases.

"We've chosen to keep all our retail partners and fans on the same page, literally. If all retailers receive the periodicals and collections at the same time, including and especially our bestsellers, that is the best chance for the industry to come out of this strong," Dynamite CEO Nick Barrucci said. "Every sale of a new periodical or collection taken out of the retailer's hands is one more blow to them, and we want all retailers to survive this pandemic to continue to be there for all fans. We feel this is the best fair course until we get further answers and solutions."

Dynamite had already taken measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic's impact, cutting back on the number of titles it planned to publish in July and offering several of its first issues for free on comiXology, with more to come in the following weeks.
