Television and Movies are not the only medium affected by the events of Tuesday, but comic publishers are feeling it as well. DC Comics has announced that some changes will be occuring in upcoming releases. The pubslisher released a statement about an upcoming trade paperback which will now be altered:

"Due to concerns over its content in light of the tragedies earlier this week, publication of the GODDESS TPB has been indefinitely postponed. All orders are cancelled."

DC Comics also released a press release to various websites and companies as well. Below is an excerpt from their press release:

DC Comics also released a statement expressing their thoughts today.

With the tragic acts of violence that our city, our nation, our families and friends suffered on Tuesday morning just behind us now, much of the DC Comics staff has returned to their offices and resumed work. Like everyone who works and lives in and around New York City, we are quite shaken by Tuesday's events, but we also take great comfort in the good wishes of our friends and colleagues around the world. We extend to all of you our sincere and heartfelt thanks.

Fortunately, our offices are far enough from the World Trade Center that all staff members who were in the office on Tuesday morning remained safe. To the best of our knowledge, no DC Comics staff members or freelancers were injured or killed as a result of these horrible events.

Slowly, we resume our normal business. Our thoughts are with the people whose friends, families, and loved ones were injured, missing, or killed, and we join the entire civilized world in expressing our sincere sympathies to all who have suffered because of this tragedy.

DC Comics is expected to make their comic shipments for next week.
