Seems Diamond had some printer errors so some Marvel titles that were slated to arrive at comic shops on the 15th are now arriving this upcoming Wednesday, January 8th.
And shops are being told it’s okay to set out for sale early.
Here was the email sent out to retailers:

I think most online retailers have already updated most of this upcoming weeks lists to include these from a quick glance.
Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who was expecting these on the 15th, you’ll wanna make sure to grab them on the 8th instead.
Interesting….usually errors lead to delays…not the opposite.
