Civil War by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven was late, and took down the schedule of the rest of the Marvel titles.

Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven was late and saw Wolverine ship out of order as a result.

Secret Wars was late and saw books that followed it delayed or published before the conclusion.

Ditto for Civil War 2.

And now we have Secret Empire drawn by Steve McNiven. But this comic isn't going to be late. Honest.

Secret Empire will definitely get delayed.

This time Marvel have rotating artists. Joining Steve McNiven are Andrea Sorrentino and Leinil Yu.

At least Secret Empire will be over in August. And by August it probably means December/January.

Which is how they will be able to publish ten issues across five months.

Be prepared for Secret Empire to be delayed up the wazoo. Just like Civil War II and Secret Wars before it.

And are already well ahead.

Seriously, they mean it this time. Honest.

Of course, there's another take on this.

That there are multiple artists attached to Secret Empire kind of shows that even Marvel is ready to get it over with as quickly as possible

Oh Graeme, so cynical!
