Valiant's X-O Manowar November 2022 Solicits For Seven Months Time

Earlier this month, after breaking news stories about Valiant Entertainment letting much of their staff go, Bleeding Cool broke the story about Valiant cancelling Archer & Armstrong midway through the series, of delaying future issues of Book Of Shadows until 2023 and wondered what would happen to X-O Manowar, still scheduled for November 2022. Later Valiant Entertainment came out strong with a PR entitled "The Epic Future of Valiant Entertainment Publishing" which included X-O Manowar Unconquered drawn by Liam Sharp, scheduled for November 2022, but listed for March 2o23.  And so it is in Valiant Entertainment's solicitation for November 2022 comic include X-O Manowar #1 but scheduled for the 22nd of March, seven months away. I have never seen a mainstream American publisher of a monthly comic book ever solicit something that far in advance. It appears they already has the slot in Previews and probably the advertising as well, and decided they might as well use it. It is quite bizarre. Here is Valiant Entertainment's full November 2022 solicits and solicitations – even if the big launch is for March. Bloodshot Unleashed #3 is still solicited for November. And the Book Of Shadows collection is rescheduled for… May? May? That's nine months away. What is going on? I should try and get hold of a print copy of Previews this week and see if it matches these dates.
