Do book stores get collections before comic book stores or something? This week's list has Ultimate Spider-man HC 11, but Amazon already has it available.

The direct market and the retail market have different release paths. Usually the direct market release is first, but USM collections sell pretty good in the retail spaces.

I wish I had known about them before. Looking back, most of the HC collections would have been cheaper than the 2 trades they cover.

So....whatever happened to Punishermax? I was looking forward to the end of the Bullseye arc, and it's been a few months.

Similarly, did Invincible get canceled?

From Invincible's Ryan Ottley's site - "I know you all are patiently waiting, or even impatiently waiting for issue 75 to hit the shelves. It will be early November just so you know, we are ALMOST there, its at the printer NOW. Why did it take so long?! Because it was two issues large, so it took two months to draw. We should be back on track shortly."

Can anyone tell me when Witch Doctor #3 is going to be shipped? Also can anyone tell me why the last issue of Generation Hope (10) is sold out at both of the comic book stores near me? I'm pretty new to the comic scene.

Probably because Gen Hope is a Schism tie-in, so it has a bunch of people buying it that prior to this issue didn't give a poo poo.

This seems like the best place to ask. Is there anywhere other then midtowncomics.com where I can have new issues shipped direct to me? Midtown wants 10 issues minimum, I'm sticking to 5. At the very least a site that alerts me when a new issue of a series is coming out would be great since there is no apparent pattern that I can see.

Books usually are scheduled on a particular week of the month, but sometimes schedules slip. Trade is short for trade paperback, a collection of issues in a softcover book format (also known as a graphic novel).

The list in the OP has Hawkeye 16 out a month before Hawkeye 15. I looked up Hawkeye 15 but CBR shows Hawkeye 14 previews. Which issue am I waiting for now?

If that's the case, it probably doesn't matter too much. 16 is solicited as a Wu issue, which will be about Kate, while Aja's issues are Clint-focused. I hope Aja manages to catch up (if he is the delay) and doesn't get forced to drop the book.

It looks like a new Hawkeye is going to be dropping every 2 weeks until March. Cool.

Has Superior Foes of Spider-Man Vol. 2 been delayed? Amazon has it shipping on August 12th, and I know comic shops usually get TPBs a week or two earlier, but I haven't seen it on any upcoming lists.
