Jesus with the changes to YA/Runaways, I wonder what happened, I saw a bunch of ads for it over the last few weeks and now the new ongoing is going to start before the mini even finishes.

Why are they relaunching Runaways? I don't want Ramos. I liked Michael Ryan. Are they keeping the new girl from the past?

Klara features in the newest preview art for the next issue. I not the biggest fan of Ramos either but the switch also brings Tery Moore with it, so we might get issues sooner with Whedon gone. The relaunch is probably just to drum up interest after the various delays durig the past run.

Is Whedon known for delays? Are we sure it was him and not the artist? Either way, they did a great job. Ryan's art was great. I miss RKV's quality and timeliness.

I hope they keep Jo Chen on the covers. One thing I can say about Runaways is that the covers are awesome.

I haven't bought comics in a while. Is shipping date the actual date you can pickup a copy at the local shop or is it more like videogames/movies where the ship date is usually two days before it hits stores?

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Usually the same date but the time of day depends on the shop. Mine usually doesn't have stuff in and ready to buy till about 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

A good rule of thumb is that new comics will be in the store, ready to buy, sometime Wednesdays (or Thursday if there's a holiday that week...or late rht previous week...).

I pre-ordered the drat thing way before the TV show came out, and the day it was supposed to ship; I got an e-mail from Amazon saying they didn't get it in. I didn't know if it get pushed back like the Scud omnibus, or what.

Also, as enjoyable as the show can be, I fear it's not long for this world.

I hope I'm wrong, though.

No loving idea, but considering the sudden bumping off the schedule completely I'm guessing someone read it and got cold feet.

I know, I'm lazy and it took me forever to get around to it, but by very popular demand: Image and Dark Horse, rounding out the Previews premiere publishers. For readability I consolidated the DC and Marvel sections.

Do you think it's possible to leave the previous week's release in it's own code box? Just in case we wanted to see what we've missed if we haven't made it to a shop yet that week?

Also, isn't today's 9/9/09 release going to be held up by a day in the states because of labor day, and actually come out tomorrow on the 10th?

A) I figure it's outdated since it's usually got its own shipping thread by that point, but if the creative information being up's useful I'll not delete it immediately next week.

B) Well, I'm Canadian, so I don't give a poo poo. ;) Seriously, for simplicity, it's easier to just always key off the Wednesday.

Sorry, guys - I gave up on Dark Horse and Image. They never release shipping updates, ever, so all I end up doing is rewriting solicitations, and then watching as none of the dates are even remotely accurate. I can't present useful information here, so I'm just not even going to try anymore.

Huh, I hadn't noticed, but you're right. It just hasn't been solicited since; I mean, it's only skipped two solicit months (April and May) at this point, so it could just be a result of Lapham being so busy. So yeah, I guess it's a standard delay.
