LATE: DC Misses Local Comic Book Day and New Mutants #25 Gets Later

Bleeding Cool has been covering the pressures on the comic book industry right now, with paper, printing, distribution, and shipping issues all over the place – and schedules slipping down the months. Here are some of the latest latenesses from Marvel Comics to take account for… including a really late New Mutants.

  • We mentioned that Fantastic Four #40, kicking off The Reckoning War had been delayed from the 19th of January to the 16th of February, now The Reckoning War: Alpha has joined it.
  • We reported that New Mutants #24 was delayed from the 29th of December to the 9th of February and New Mutants #25 was delayed from the 12th of January to the 9th of March. Well now New Mutants #25 has been delayed even further, to (wait for it) the 6th of April. That's a three month delay right there,
  • Marvel's Voices: Heritage #1 has slipped from the 8th of December to the 12th of January.

While DC Comics has a lot of late updates – including the new that the Task Force Z #2 Local Comic Shop Day Variant Cover won't make it to stores for Local Comic Shop Day.
