Bad news. Small shops (like my LCS) need the weekly sales. To deny them new comics during a prime shopping week seems like a bad move to me.

In a Harrison Bergeron future they'd hobble the fastest runners and force us to devote a quarter of the store to Pokemon Bobble Heads.

The week following Christmas is a big and busy week. Giving customers a reason to not shop is going to hurt a lot of people. I don’t work in a comic shop, but I do work in retail.

But in the end, all this means is that it makes New Years Eve a little more lonely without some comics to read..

Although if the next week is a double-dose of the books I'd regularly buy over the course of two weeks, I might take the opportunity to drop a couple of titles if my list starts to get too expensive. I'd have to guess this move is going to really suck for some shops, in terms of both bottom line and trying to rack two weeks worth of books on one Wednesday.
