So, NXM 117 didn't come out today.

Unlike last month, Marvel didn't change their "comics onsale" column before time (and still haven't), and, weirdly, they've put up a preview of 118 (on the same day 117 failed to show) which, they tell us beneath it, we can expect to see on the 19th.

Stupid cunts.

Can someone explain this?

No?

Oh, right.... they're just unprofessional pricks.

They've got you hooked, and now they're gonna fuck with you because they can.

It's not a comic. Don't be ridiculous.

Actually, it's not just my desperate need to get my paws on the next issue that's really doing my head in, here. I mean, doesn't it strike anyone else as fucking weird that they'd put up a preview for 118 (scheduled for the 19th), on the same day that 117 failed to show? Communications must have broken down somewhere.

And doesn't this kind of utter disorganisation strike anyone as completely unprofessional? They're a large publishing house, for fuck's sake! Why can't they get it right? And as for their last excuse, which went something like, "Well, you know, X-Men titles have, traditionally, always shipped late": please!

I don't know how they expect to pull of their "Nuff Said" silent month unless they start meeting their deadlines. Unless, of course, "silent month" actually translates as "silent month and a bit".

Please, indeed. I've been reading the X-Men since I was 8 (I am 22 now), and it's always shipped more or less on time til around 99 or so. Of course, a large percentage of that time the comic was total hackwork , and now it is of the highest quality, so I don't mind so much. I know why New X_Men is late......what is Ultimate and Uncanny's excuses?

When I was collecting it, which was post Claremont (the first time) it never shipped on time, and everytime they had an unnecessary poncy cover (sorry, special event) the schedule got fucked up even more. Something like the return of magneto, which relied on you receiving the comics in the right order, forget it!

perhaps I was so disinterested and buying the comics completely out of habit that I didn't even notice, much less care.

Hmm. For a moment there, I misread it as 'latex-men' and got all excited...
