Not too many changes. DC actually already had these updated on their site last week

Foobster · 03-06-2006, 10:46 AM

As long as I get one IC a month, I'm happy. And now with the sched. change, I will.

And I'm hoping Teen Titans is delayed so that it ties in w/ IC 6.

Showcase a week early! Yea!!!!

ASB&RTBW.... no comment.

j2lepew · 03-06-2006, 11:14 AM

I wouldn't jump the gun here too much on this one. I distinctly remember last month's Infinite Crisis (#5) bounced back and forth between dates up until the last minute. The final shipping date update on Newsarama here showed IC #5 as coming out Feb 22, when in fact it came out a week later. I realize the delay was mostly due to DiDio making some last-minute changes, but it was still a major tease thinking it would come out earlier when it actually didn't.

grphxkindaguy · 03-06-2006, 11:44 AM

Was Wildsiderz (J Scott Campbell's book) always solicitated as a mini-series?!?

Could've sworn it was an ongoing...

It's not, and it doesn't. #34 is the first One Year Later issue, and is only coming out this late in the month because 33 is out this week due to chronic lateness since the Liefeld fill-in.

Teen Titans #33 was delayed because it is a direct follow up to IC #5, therefore it had to wait until IC #5 hit the shelves.

I know it's not true....but a very naive geeky fanboy in my head..

.... wants to believe that all the delays related to IC and tie-ins is just DC playing with our heads to keep spoilers from hitting us....

besides the DC books the only other title to hurt...and hurt is the word...

is Red Sonja...

Cool to see Conan moved UP a week.

What the...? Weren't they just trying to get back on schedule? This can't be a good sign...

PreCrisisDC · 03-06-2006, 02:24 PM

All I can say is the damn wait between Infinite Crisis #4 and #5 was almost like the (supposed) year jump between future issues...sheesh--no more damn delays or 20
Earth 2 lashes to Dan and whomever else is responsible. And each lash will indeed be of a different vibrational frequency variety

I don't get it. How can short miniseries like these be delayed this early into their runs? Why don't they just hold minis until they are at least 80% done before releasing them?!?!

DC will move heaven and earth to get that issue of IC to come out on March 29 - it'll help them make their numbers for Q1.

Maybe it is done, but the later issues are being held up/tweaked, so they draw out the earlier issues so there's not a whole month gap.

In the case of Sable & Fortune, I'm pretty sure I read that the run was shortened after issue one sold much more poorly than anticipated. If that's the case, then wouldn't they have to alter the story, pacing and (subsequently) the art in order to wrap it up in fewer issues? This would definitely lead to delays.

I'm enjoying S & F, but in any case, I guess I'd much rather that they at least complete it rather than just write it off and cancel it outright with no conclusion. I wonder if that's ever been done by one of the big two.

Sonic Disruptors comes to mind.

DC's next big event - "Two Weeks Late!"

Darth Wahu · 03-06-2006, 04:30 PM

WILDSIDERZ VARIANT COVER #3 (OF 5) 3/29/2006 - 4/26/2006

so... the regular issue comes "out on time"????

I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering Campbell's track record.

Then why have the preceding half a dozen issues been late as well?
