LATE: Six Months Between Gotham Academy: First Year #3 And #4
There will now be six months between the DC Comics publication of Gotham Academy: First Year #3 and Gotham Academy: First Year #4
Article Summary
- Gotham Academy: First Year #4 faces a nearly six-month delay after issue #3's December release.
- Subsequent issues #5 and #6 are also delayed, pushing the series far beyond original DC Comics dates.
- Creative team includes Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl, Becky Cloonan, and Marco Ferrari.
- Minor delays hit other DC titles, but Gotham Academy: First Year experiences the biggest setback.
Gotham Academy: First Year #4 and subsequent issues are getting even later. Its original on-sale date was the 14th of January, then delayed until 4th of February, is now delayed until the 27th of May. That's a four-and-a-half-month delay and almost six months since #3, which came out on the 3rd of December. Then Gotham Academy: First Year #5 was originally for the 4th of February, then delayed until the 6th of May, and is now delayed until the 24th of June, almost five months late. Gotham Academy: First Year #6 is still scheduled for the 29th of July, when the intended solicited date was the 4th of March. But odds are that will be delayed further as well. Any longer and it will be Gotham Academy: Second Year already.
