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:
Okay...
My bad here gang... kinda.
My retina decided to detach midway through the job and what with going blind in one eye and optic surgery and what-all... well, do the math.
Just wanted to get it out there because I don't want anyone thinking anyone involved in the book's not pulling for all they're worth.
I guess filing it under s**t happens might seem a bit cavalier but... s**t does indeed happen.
I've been waiting for more than twenty years for the opportunity to return to the 30th century with Paul and I think it's to DC's credit that they were willing to wait a few weeks so I could get it done up right.
Oh, and yes,the 30th century's still just as much fun as I thought it would be.

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.)

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.

I'm quite willing to be patient. I'd rather see Keith recovered and up to snuff than worry about when it comes out.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

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.

Has anyone heard how Keith Giffen is doing?
"Our devotion to each other was unexplainable"
"You were kids"
"No Batman, we were Legion"

Dig? [/b] 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.

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.
