Justice League #6 Slips Into Fifth Week In February
Retailers have been complaining about the DC New 52 fifth week. When a month has five Wednesdays, with all the New 52 titles slotted into the first four weeks, it leaves kids books, Vertigo titles and the lower selling non-52 comics, which don't quite have the punch to the pocket that the New 52 comics do. So retailers lose out.
Well, they have found a partial solution for this February and its five weeks. And also helping DC out of a little shipping schedule issue.
Justice League #6 will slip from February 15th to February 29th, a whole two weeks. January's Justice League #5 had performed a similar trick, slipping one week from the 18th to the 25th.
Hwever, after issue 6, Jim Lee will take a three issue break, which I would expect would see the schedule of DC's premier New 52 title recover, in time for his return. Jim Lee and his wife have recently welcomed a new child into the world, and as I recall, the schedule of pretty much anything goes to pot for the first three months.
And retailers have a DC book they can sell a whole shedload of at the end of February.
