Actually, I was thinking "one customer with an opinion . . ."

Which would be even worse, if true, because a fan does not necessarily equate to a customer. A customer brings money to the table and actively supports the publisher; a fan not so much.

IMO, a simple "We can't talk about it." would go a long way, which is all jedi was asking all along.

For me to be a customer, I need something to buy.

Potential customer???

Okay, maybe fan is a better term.

(Just took these pics to answer a post asking if this was legitimate or if someone had bound old issues together)

I just posted this to show you guys that they're getting out there so hopefully they will be on the shelves soon.

Also saw some were on sale by users at amazon.com:

The book looks as good as the other hardcovers. This will actually be my first time reading these issues. Archer and Armstrong were two characters I had only previously seen in crossovers, like Unity.

I'll post about the new story when I get to read it.

I HAVE CONFIRMATION:

IT IS SHIPPING NEXT WEEK!

As long as your shop's Diamond order packer puts it in the correct box (trust me, it's no guarentee

), it will be in stores next week (11/19/08)!

So now all we really want to know is what was the delay and did it involve more legal bollox ?

Yeah, it would be nice to know what was really going on. My guess would be that they were able to iron some things out concerning their reprinting rights.

Yeah. I somehow doubt that the story will ever be told, but I'd love to hear it.

Either way, I'm thrilled to hear that it's coming out next week (maybe)!
