Final Crisis #4 Delayed Again

3 Replies

Accodring to DC’s website*, Final Crisis #4 has been pushed back another two weeks to October 15.

Now, it could be worse: This was the planned “skip month,” after all, where they planned a 2-month gap between issues #3 and #4. Of course, they were supposed to have the various tie-in one-shots in between — Submit, Resist, Superman: Beyond, and Rage of the Red Lanterns — and only one of those has come out so far. (And it’s the one that ended up running two issues instead of just one.)

Interestingly enough, this schedule makes October 15 a big week for Final Crisis, as it will have:

  • Final Crisis #4 (of 7)
  • Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #2 (of 5)
  • Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns
  • Final Crisis: Rogues’ Revenge #3 (of 3)

*While there are many things that annoy me about DC’s new website design, one thing I really like is that they’ve finally gotten on top of keeping the schedule (a) accurate and (b) up to date.

Ambush Bug on Planet Flash

For those who missed it, the latest issue of Ambush Bug: Year None #2 parodies the “Planet Flash” storyline from Mark Waid’s The Wild Wests. The citizens of Savoth call for help, but instead of a Flash, they get Ambush Bug.

In the 6-page sequence, he tries to protect Savoth from Mr. Nebula (a parody of Galactus who, rather than eating planets, redesigns them — and has horribly tacky taste) and his harbinger.

It’s…very bizarre. Absurd in both the everyday and technical meanings of the word.

(Thanks to Comic Bloc poster BESTBUY for pointing this one out.)
