Next week...
...Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi take
over Astonishing X-Men with issue #25 - and it's on
time, which is a good start. Meanwhile, Cable
#5 wraps up the book's opening arc.
Late
Due 19 April 2006: The
original shipping date for Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk
#3. Lest we forget. Issue #3 slipped initially
from 19 April to 17 May, and several weeks after missing
that date too, it was finally rescheduled for 12 July.
Then it was rescheduled again, to 9 August. And then
it was 20 September. And then it was 25 October.
And then the week after that, they changed it to 1 November.
Then, in mid-October, they moved it to 27 December.
And then, in December, they pulled it from the schedules
altogether. Allegedly, Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk
will be rescheduled for a later date - although frankly, I
don't believe it for a second - so I'm leaving it on the
list for now.
Upcoming

GeNext #3 focusses on No-Name, while New Exiles
