Dude--Kent--it's coming out NEXT WEEK (actually, only four days, now!!) already! Dig?

Has anyone heard how Keith Giffen is doing?

The week before shipping, Diamond issues a list to retailers of exactly what they will receive in the following week's shipment. Barring shipping errors like shortages, that means the retailer WILL receive them, and the issue is not subject to further delays. That's how I understand it, anyway according to my comic book guy.
Not sure if it was exactly like this back when you worked in a CBS, Kent.

in my experience, many types of errors are still possible, including but not limited to shipping errors etc. I've heard the same explanation as that of your CBS guy; I've still seen snafus even in recent years (as a customer, long after my CBS run) that said explanation does not cover.
It's still winter. Last I knew, most major comics are still printed in Montreal. Transportation snafus happen, printing snafus happen, weather snafus happen, clerical snafus happen, border/customs snafus happen. I have little faith in Diamond; I've seen them screw the pooch so many times the pooch had kittens.
I count no comic definite until it has arrived.
