With less than a week to The Flash #6, and four issues in a row scheduled only two weeks apart, DC has stretched the schedule a bit. Here’s where we’re at now:
Flash #6 on November 17 (two months after #5).
Flash #7 on December 8 (three weeks after #6).
Flash #8 on December 29 (three weeks after #7).
Flash #9 on January 26 (one month after #8).
Flash #10 on February 23 (one month after #9).
Could a normal monthly schedule be in the Flash’s future?
oh look they changed the scheduling again
What a surprise!
…I really shouldn’t be, right?
I’m going to be optimistic and avoid any snark. If they keep to that schedule I’ll be a happy man.
They’ll all end up being delayed. 🙁
The Flash, a book about speed, should ALWAYS be on time!
You mad, mad, crazy fool, you. Don’t you remember that this is Barry Allen’s turf from now on and Barry is ALWAYS LATE? It’s his trademark. DC is only following canon.
Gracious.
Oh don’t worry, the others will all end up late too. Somehow. /cynicism
Makes no sense woith January having the Iconic covers. The Flash one delayed to February.
also the solicitation for #11 has the release date on Feb 23 as well
forget it, none of this makes sense anymore
Since the bottleneck seems to be Francis Manapul, I wouldn’t be surprised if the issues just come firing out after #6. I could be wrong, though …
I am curious… with all the schedule changes to The Flash title etc. are any other DC Books also suffering from schedule changes?
Yes, it’s pretty common these days. The Batman books have gotten reshuffled a lot lately, Time Masters: Vanishing Point #5 is a month late, and Superman had a fill-in issue in the middle of “Grounded.” That’s just off the top of my head for the last month or two.
I should add, it’s not just DC, either. Marvel has its share of delays, and smaller publishers are really at the mercy of outside circumstances. A lot of indie books aren’t even on a set monthly schedule, but a “when the next one’s finished” schedule. Couple this with long-form storytelling, and the series-of-miniseries and OGN approaches are awfully appealing.
The main Green Lantern book has also been delayed quite a bit over the last couple of years.
