Now that is out of the way.

JMS hurt me bad with The Twelve, started in 2008, the final 12th issue didn't drop until 2012.

And it didn't help that it was so damn good.

THis one didn't hurt because it was a shit story but I will forever look at Kevin Smith sideways for spending 4 years on this crap

Isn't Battle Chasers coming back?

Planetary took forever to release, goddamn.

Matt Fraction and David Ajas Hawkeye.

It broke my heart.

It's there, it's just that Brevoort is an asshole.

It'll come out eventually.

Maybe.

So happy that we get the series this september.

I think it's vaporware. Was it all a dream?

Comics too.

Revealed on Polygon, the comic book plans are to return in three-issue arcs picking up from the original series while the game spinning out of that story.

PsychBat! · Apr 30, 2015

SHIELD by Hickman and Weaver. Weaver says the final issues should be out by September but there's nothing official by Marvel yet.

Machine · Apr 30, 2015

Issue #4 of Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D. came out in 2011. The last two issues are supposedly done but I don't think they've been solicited or released yet.

Edit: Too late!

damn, that Battle Chasers OP

overwhelming nostalgia, remembering pouring over a new issue of Wizards at the nerd table during lunch

E the Shaggy · Apr 30, 2015

The biggest cluster fuck that comes to mind was Civil War.

Since the main series wasn't finished, with Millar and McNiven pushing the book back again and again, they kept having to delay every other Marvel book in order to not ruin the ending of Civil War. It was crazy.

Its for the best.

Delta Assault · Apr 30, 2015

Dark Knight Strikes Again issue 3.

Cause it actually came out after the delay, when it should've been canceled.

Pilgrimzero · Apr 30, 2015

I still miss NYX. Had such potential.

Although Crossgen stuff never got finished. My favorite was the fantasy one about the lady archer, don't recall the title. That basically ended with her dead and the bad guy winning.

Edit: It was called Sojourn

torre_avenue · Apr 30, 2015

The Black Beetle. Man, that book was so perfect. I have a thing for noir/pulp superheroes and that book hit the fucking spot. Francesco Francavilla is an absolute god when it comes to interior work, but that fact it takes forever hurts so much. There was supposed to be a second miniseries for the book in October of 2013, but it's been delayed. And that hurts.

Also, the fact we'll never get the final chapter in the Lawless "trilogy" that Brubaker & Phillips set up crushes me.

Nope. And fan speculation ran too wild. If it didnt cure cancer, it would have been a letdown. Multiversity was for the best.

Yup, I was going to say The Black Beetle: Necrologue. Francavilla is too busy doing Archie and drawing variants for every book under the sun to work on his own great character.

I wish we had gotten the full version of Alan Moore's Supreme and Book 4 of Halo Jones

I wish Warren Ellis had not given up on Doktor Sleepless.

How could I forget these? It hurts all over again. Someone has a Doktor Sleepless avatar around here that occasionally makes me sad.

Ellis is right up there with JMS in the world of delayed and cancelled projects. Don't forget Ellis losing his computer files on newuniversal after it had already been placed on hiatus and JMS taking several years to finish Rising Stars.

God damn I loved that series. I would kill to get even a six issue miniseries with those characters again.

Wait....I'm behind on Hawkeye and catching up. What happened?

Gentleman Jack · Apr 30, 2015

Seems Warren Ellis is the king of delays, pocket cancellations and unfinished storylines people desperately wanted closure for. Fell is never getting a conclusion.

Mangoverboard · Apr 30, 2015

I first read an issue of Planetary when I was 10. The last issue of the series came out just before I was 17. Spent most of my teens waiting on that book. Worth it.

Hawkeye is currently killing me too but that's also worth it. Fucking love Aja's art.

Fmal · Apr 30, 2015

Dang, I dunno what Battle Chasers is but lmao that art is awful.

These Hawkeye delays are really cramping my style, but at least we'll be getting closure eventually.

HK-47 · May 1, 2015

lol I had purged Fell and Desolation Jones from my mind.
