LATE: Batman: The Signal, Sam Kieth Gallery and Wild Storm #12

Published Thu, 08 Feb 2018 08:30:49 -0600

Not every comic book comes out of time. At least retailers keep retailers up to date on when comic books are delayed. As opposed to Marvel who kept Brian Bendis' titles ticking along on the schedule for years. Of course, that's DC Comics' problem now…

So what's late today?

Batman: Secrets – The Sam Kieth Gallery Edition was to have been published in August but it is late. Very late. But it is now scheduled for next Wednesday… so it's probably actually coming out now.

Batman And The Signal being late is knocking off future issues – so Batman And The Signal #2 which should have been out this week is now scheduled for the 21st February. And Batman And The Signal #3 has slipped from the 7th of March all the way to the 18th of April – a full two months after the previous issue.

It makes the Wild Storm #12's slip from the 21st February to the 7th of March minor in comparison…
