The totally awesome Civil War series has been delayed/postponed. Bumped back a month because, well, McNiven hasn't drawn it yet. That's having a knock on effect to a few of the other tie-in titles (Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man, etc) which were probably going to give away key plot points for the main series. They're being delayed too... ... bummer.
I was looking forward to it too. Because I love it, and because it's by far our best selling title. Ultimates, All Star Superman, Astonishing X-Men all sell really well. Civil War sells three times any of those. I'm gonna miss it.
Yeah Marvel can really suck at times. I was really enjoting NYX and then Marvel decided to put out one issue every 2nd millenia and then they turned the title into a six parter. It could've been soooo good too.
That was written by Joe Quesada, Marvels Editor in Chief. He also wrote (and drew) Daredevil Father at around the same time. That series still hasn't finished. It's been about 5 months since the second issue of Ultimate Hulk/Wolverine came out and there's no sign of issue three yet. I totally support Marvels descision not to put a fill-in artist on Civil War to keep it on schedule as McNiv is awesome, the best artist in comics at the moment, but I wish Marvel had planned the series better and got more of it ready to go before they released issue 1.
