DC & Marvel Have Got Jokes

Wanna hear something funny?

  • All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder #1 came out in July 2005. We are still awaiting issue #5.
  • Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk #1 came out in December 2005. We are still waiting for issue #3.
  • Wonder Woman (Vol. 3) #1 came out in June 2006. We are still waiting for issue #4. It has since been moved to a bimonthly schedule. Um, what? Batman and Superman can have multiple titles running smoothly but Wonder Woman needs special attention. Now that The O.C. has been canceled Allan Heinberg will have time to crank these out.
  • The Ultimates Vol. 2 began in December 2004. Still waiting for issue #13. Did The Authority take this long?
  • We are up to issue #6 in the relaunch of Justice League of America and they still haven't fought together.
  • Joe Queseda, Tom Breevort and Mark Millar still think both arguments are being equally represented in Civil War.

Is it just me or has the books shipping extremly late problem become increasingly common in the past 5 years? I don't remember having to wait 6 months to blow my allowance on candy and the newest Batman comic when I was a kid.

Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen were probably the first books i remember suffering significant delays... that was 20 years ago.

before that, i don't really remember lateness being a big issue.

Civil War pisses me off because, in the end... that shyt could have been done in 3-4 months TOPS!
