This was a good idea, but I've let it slip due to time constraints.BruceReville wrote:Be Bold!yardstick wrote:You might consider using italics for those issues which have not been released yet, and use regular font for those which have; notwithstanding the year they are released
What do you think?
You nailed it. Dr Solar 5, 6, and Turok 2 are nothing short of brilliant. It is bittersweet right now, but if they get their scheduling act together, this still could become a great line.dave wrote:I'm just sad about them. The fact that we have stories, and the greatness of the stories is currently being overshadowed by the shipping schedule, and that's a shame.
I'm still on board, but, like I said, I'm sad.

We complain like crazy that Dark Horse.com keeps up old, arbitrary release dates they're not going to be able to make and then when they take them down, leaving only the dates the books will really ship on, some of you guys assume they're not shipping? Shouldn't that have been what they did in the first place and the normal thing to do in this situation, instead of litering the net with false shipping dates? I'm sure they'll put the dates for the next issues when they're sure they come out. If they cancel the series they'd be listed as canceled. I assume after the May issues ship we'll see some in August (or late July on some titles if we're lucky).

BTW, there's no cancelation for the books listed with Diamond and then there's the fact that creators are still working on the books...

Gonna finish up SOLAR 7 for DH this morning, then I'll get the Blambot May update online if there are no surprises.

Posted by the Jim Shooter May 4th responding to question about the lateness of the Dark Horse Book:
Some of it is my fault, I guess. But, generally, I've stayed ahead of the artists -- that is, they usually weren't waiting for script. It hasn't been hard to stay ahead of them. One artist took four months to draw an issue of an every-six-weeks book. At this moment, however, I have THREE artists waiting for script, so excuse me, I have to get back to work. : )

Don't sound canceled to me.

Word of the cancellation came on Saturday May 7th after both of those posts by Shooter & Blambot - Seeing as how the Diamond offices are closed on the weekend then there wouldn't be any announcement from them yet. I wouldn't expect to see anything from Diamond until just before the next Previews is released. Before then we should hear the news from other Comic Media outlets about the situation.Todd Luck wrote:BTW, there's no cancelation for the books listed with Diamond and then there's the fact that creators are still working on the books...

I would say that's a pretty reliable source.orbitalshift wrote:In case it hasn't been posted here, Jayjay just confirmed over at the Dark-Key site that the Dark Horse Gold Key line has been cancelled.
