Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Giffen is doing LSH Annual!!!

It would be interesting to read the original script that Paul had written. This is all assuming that our theories about him changing the annual's story due to Monel winning the election, and that's why its release date is being pushed back.
I think that original script should be saved as a collection piece or something.
At the very least it should come out as an "alternate reality" story sometime down the road.

Posted by Giffen on the DC Comics message boards:

Wow, I feel for the guy now, going through that sort of surgery.
I for one am willing to wait until Keith is his 100% before expecting and waiting for something this special and worrying that it's going to come out a few weeks late.
That, plus one's health must always come first.

Yeah. A minor delay is all right with me, regardless of circumstance. And eye surgery is nothing to take lightly.

It was nice of him to let the fans know what was up, though.

More delays. My comic book guy says the Annual will NOT be out next week. His info is that it's been pushed back another TWO WEEKS...to February 2nd. Let's hope it doesn't get any worse.....

Crapballs. Retinal detachment surgery is unpleasant at best. Recovery can range from excellent to none.

I'm concerned for him!!!

It may not be about Giffen's physical recovery this time. Maybe it's another case of the election results requiring that part of a story be reworked. (Getting back to fk's comment above.)

Gads, I'm itching for this to come out already!!

Hopefully, it's still shipping next week.

:pray:

I checked with Diamond and yes it is scheduled for next Wednesday as planned. Thank goodness!

I haven't been this excited for a Legion annual to come out since 1988 ... when my letter was published in the letter column of LSH Annual #4.

Yep, my comic book guy confirmed, as well. YAY!

I'm quite willing to be patient. I'd rather see Keith recovered and up to snuff than worry about when it comes out.

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

Yay!! So Feb. 2nd we get the Annual and the first Jimenez Legion Academy issue!!

Ooh, that is exciting. Legion Academy sounds awesome, and the Annual, focused on some Legion ladies who've gotten insufficient play in the main book, could rock.

This WEEK!

Yah!

Best slightly early birthday present I've had in YEARS!
WOOOOHOOOO!
I get Giffen AND Jimenez!

Scheduling does not always meet actuality.

Has anyone heard how Keith Giffen is doing?

Er, sorry, Rhino...but I'm 99% sure the Adventure issue ships on the 9th.

On the bright side, that means three out of four weeks in February contain original Legion content!

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.

I wonder how his retina's doing?

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.

Awright, then. <fingers crossed>

D'oh!!

Yer breakin' my heart!
