I've always heard that the pub date is July 16, and thus far nobody's said
anything to the contrary. I can't see any reason why there would be a delay,
since we're now 4 scripts ahead and the first issue is through pencisl, inks
and lettering.

I noticed that it wasn't in the July previews, after it had been set for July
16th, and inquired of Marvel because we're well ahead on art and scripts (I'm
working on issue 5 at the moment).

They explained that they'd wanted to debut the comic at Wizard Con (either
Philly or Chicago, I can't now remember), but since I couldn't make it, they
pushed the debut to August 6th, which allows us to get even further ahead on
scripts. Once it hits the ground, we won't have any basis for missing any pub
dates for at least half a year, it not more.

Not a prob.
