Attention Comic Shop Retailers and Iron Man Readers
here's the info i read today:
(edited for ur convenience)
""Iron Man" is going to be late.
"Iron Man" issue 4, being solicited right now in January's Previews, has been delayed until July 20th.
However, unlike other similar delays recently, Marvel and Diamond employees were suddenly instructed not to publish, email or communicate with anyone, including retailers, about this delay.
Which will mean a three-month gap between the already late issue 3 and issue 4.
It's likely this is because the schedule isn't fixed. So that it gives the creative team flexibility. And may well be tightened up in the future.
But, it's also possible the news is being kept secret because retailers often believe late books lose sales.
Damn. Here's the Top Secret Code no one is allowed to know.
JAN051839 D IRON MAN #4 07/20/05 "
if marvel keeps doing things like this, they will continue to lose fanbase. they are consistently taking a two steps back after taking one forward.
retailers know what this means to that order due in in a week or so. just how big a deal it is, we'll have to wait and see.
chalk up another great job by marvels merry publishing chedule. *cough*secret war*cough*
