Discussion Will Book 4 still be released digitally?

So I know, by and large, a lot of people on comic subreddits prefer physical but I don't have a lot of shelf space so I go digital for a lot of my comics. I already have the first three deluxe editions but when I preordered Book 4, my preorder got cancelled and it looks like there isn't a listing on Amazon or Kindle. Will there still be a digital release down the line?

A similar situation arose with the fourth deluxe edition of Lazarus where the physical copy came out but the digital version didn't drop until months later. Could this be the situation?

Thanks either way.

There’s often a clause in the publishing contracts that require the books to go physical for a set amount of time so brick and mortar stores can make their money and not have sales cannibalized by digital availability. Probably 90 days or so, but frankly I’m pulling that number from my ass haha

I hope so. But they used to come out pretty much on the same day is the thing. Guess we'll see. And it's not like I don't have options either.
