Wonder Woman 1984 Delay Sees DC Comics Reschedule Graphic Novels
DC Comics may have been in shutdown for its comics after losing both a printer and a distributor, but it has still been shipping out graphic novels and collections to bookstores, internationally, on time. Naturally, the current situation may lead to delays of certain products, as new printers and shipping routes are arranged. However, the delay of the Wonder Woman 1984 movie until August 14th has seen DC Comics delay a brace of Wonder Woman graphic novels, for release in the weeks leading up to that August date.
- Wonder Woman: Her Greatest Victories TP delayed from 04/22/20 until 07/08/20
- Wonder Woman: Through the Years HC delayed from 05/06/20 until 07/15/20
- Wonder Woman: War of the Gods Omnibus HC delayed from 05/13/20 until 07/22/20
- Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor TP delayed from 05/20/20 until 07/29/20
- Wonder Woman: The Last True Hero TP Book 1 delayed from 05/20/20 until 07/29/20
- Wonder Woman #750 The Deluxe Edition HC delayed from 05/27/20 until 08/05/20
- Wonder Woman: The Many Lives of Maxwell Lord TP delayed from 05/27/20 until 08/05/20
- Batman/Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia Dlx. Ed. HC delayed from 06/03/20 until 08/12/20
If the Wonder Woman 1984 movie is delayed further, might we see continued delays for these titles? Many delays in media right now are predicated on a lot of things going back to normal right now, in a way that relies on too many unknown factors, let alone whether people will want to take part in such activities.
Other delays include the now-traditional Brian Bendis delays, with Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium HC Vol. 1 delayed from 07/01/20 until 09/02/20 and Powers: The Best Ever HC already resolicited once from DC is now delayed from 06/24/20 until 07/22/20.
There have also been a couple of Omnibus delays, with Green Arrow by Mike Grell Omnibus HC Vol. 1 delayed from 06/24/20 until 07/15/20, House of Mystery: The Bronze Age Omnibus HC Vol. 2 delayed from 06/17/20 until 07/15/20 and the Sandman: The Deluxe Ed. HC Book 1 (MR) delayed from 06/17/20 until 07/15/20.
