Morrison release dates?

rizla mission

15:04 / 21.07.01

The facts:
a)I, and I daresay many others, are notoriously crap at figuring out comic book releases dates and getting round to buying new stuff whilst it's still new.

b)A great many things written by the blessed Grant Morrison are thought to be appearing at an unspecified "soon".

c)Marvel are operating some kind of jerk-off 'no reprints' policy.

Therefore, I suggest that the more comics literate amongst us use this thread to make clear the solid release dates for future Morrison-related things to stop the likes of me from getting high blood pressure wondering whether I've missed the second issue of New X-men or the first Fantastic Four or whatever..

the first issue of morrison's FANTASTIC FOUR 1234......will be out this coming week. the 25th in the states. i saw the advanced copy. nice.

And if you haven't already got a copy of the 2nd New X Men, then: Yes, you have missed it.

Go out and buy it.

Buying things is good. It gets you sex and parties with nice friends.

so is #1 of the Fantastic 4 out in the UK yet?

Jamieon

11:00 / 26.07.01

Yes.

It came out today.

as did x-force 118 and the complete ballad of halo jones

My friendly local(ish) shop doesn't get Fantastic Four until next Wednesday for some ungodly reason.

I did get the second New X-Men though.

(I wonder if this board has somehow slipped one week into the future! Imagine that.)

rizla mission

15:28 / 26.07.01

And, um, isn't New X Men 116 out, like, really soon to make up for the delay?

Jamieon

16:33 / 26.07.01

Supposedly.

The New X Men annual was supposed to come out today, but, seeing as I couldn't get to my local comic shop today ('local' meaning 30 miles away), I've got no idea if it did.

But it'll be waiting at my mate's house for me tomorrow, so everything works out in the end.

Jamieon

16:43 / 26.07.01

Right, it turns out they've changed the release date for the annual. it hits the stands on August the 8th, along with 116.

How d'you like the preview of the first page?

I mean, what's happening here? The Beast is obviously checking out the mutant detritus in the wake of the Super Sentinel attack. So what happened? Are they still on the loose? Have Wolvie and Cyclops managed to neutralize Cassandra Nova and shut down the Master Mold?

I love the pace of this comic.

Jamieon

10:11 / 27.07.01

Weirdly, 117 seems to be coming out the very next week: August 15th.

3 New X titles in a month! Monsieur Morrison, with all thees comeecs you are spoiling usss.

But probably not.

Marvel are bound to be fiddling about with the release date as we speak.

Get you hands off it, Queseda! It's dirty!

I'm sorry to say there won't be any New X-Men this coming week. I was at a shop today, and I was looking at what was to be arriving next week, and it was a very light shipment, and the only X-related book coming was Judd Winick's Exiles.

Jamieon

14:57 / 27.07.01

I meant the week after 116, which hits the stands on August 8th.

Allegedly

I don't think I ever mentioned any New X comics coming out next week.

Did I?

This is all getting a bit confusing.

It's really not that hard to pick up on the release dates; just go to www.Marvel.com and thence to the "Comics Onsale" link.

Jamieon

14:59 / 27.07.01

All this confusion's probably a result of people not reading each others posts properly.......

Which is naughty and bad and something I'm as guilty of as anyone.

rizla mission

17:11 / 27.07.01

So to clarify;

Fantastic Four #1: out now (or next Wednesday if you shop in Swansea)

New X-Men 116: Aug. 8th

New X Men Annual: Aug. 8th (how do I identify this? how big is it? what's in it?)

New X Men 117: Aug 16th

Jamieon

17:30 / 27.07.01

Sorry to be pedantic, but:

New X Men 117: August 15th

And how to recognize the annual?

[there was an image here]

Rank cover, eh?

Don't much like the interior art either.

But it's Morrison and it introduces 'The Man From Room X' so it can't be all bad.

Jamieon

19:26 / 27.07.01

Oh, for fuck's sake.

The Marvel cunts have reshuffled the dates already. Okay, the annual's still coming out on the above date, but 116 won't be available until the 22nd.

And 117 is now scheduled for September.

I love Quitely (and I don't want anyone else to draw the New X book), but I'm going to gouge out his eye with a blunt stick if he keeps this shit up.

Ellis

19:32 / 27.07.01

I like the cover.

It looks cool.

rizla mission

08:14 / 28.07.01

I like the cover too.

Far more drippy and Vertigo looking than the usual Marvel stuff.

sleazenation

21:50 / 01.08.01

Help -- i'm on deadline at the moment
(and so shouldn't really be posting here-- ahh watcha gonna do?)

what morrison related comics are coming this week -- new x men 116?
the new x men annual?

Jamieon

21:54 / 01.08.01

None.

Well not according to the Marvel website anyway.

I repeat: www.marvel.com

and then goto

"comics onsale"

sleazenation

14:14 / 02.08.01

thanks for that, runt

Jamieon

14:24 / 02.08.01

The annual comes out next week.

this question is out of pure curiosity, so I can make an idea of how much we are delayed here: I just bought Marvel Boy. How long is it now since it's original release?

Jamieon

16:13 / 02.08.01

Just over a year since the release of the first issue.

The Packard Goose

17:27 / 02.08.01

Speaking of Marvel Boy, does anyone know if the next installment is still scheduled for sometime in September?
I'm dying to see what Noh-Varr is going to do in that super-prison (the Cube, wasn't it?) and which cultural meccas are next on Oubliette's hit-list.

You mean the TPB, right? it came out about 1 or 2 months ago, I think...

I think the reference is to a second Marvel Boy series. Is this still on the cards?
