Just noticed that 52 is not on the shipping list, is this going to be the first week it doesn't ship.......? (I hope I'm wrong, it would be a hell of an achievement to get this on time all year.)

Or I am just being tooooooooo presumptuous about the accuaracy of the advanced shipping list!

On Mondays when Diamond releases its shipping list, I find that the list for the current week (A) is usually correct. When I look forward to the next week (B), I jot down things from their list and then go to DC's website and add the things that they have listed for that week (B). By the time the next Diamond list comes out the following Monday, Diamond has added those DC titles to week (B). DC's listing for the release of their comics I find are usually right on the money. Marvel's list on the other hand, is usually way off!

I looked at DC's page for the week of Oct. 4 and they have "52" listed for that week.

You know, is it just me or does marvel.com sort of suck? I find it nearly impossible to navigate and/or use to find any specific information. Why in god's name would they structure things around "families" in the first place. I mean, my specific gripe was that I was trying ot figure out when the Nextwave TPB is coming out. Is that Marvel Heroes or Heroes or what? So I used the search fuction and got to some weird Nextwave page that says zero about the TPB.

I thought nerds were supposed to be good with computers.

It's not just you, if I ever want to get an idea about when a Marvel book will be released, I go to VisionComix. You're right it's impossible to find anything on Marvel's website. I stopped using it to look for upcoming issues/TPB a long, long time ago.

Wow Stephen Wacker!!!!
I suppose that being as this thread is losely "52" based, I have just read the following at Newsarama (http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=85645.) The comments in the article read true, all the word from the writers and those involved with 52 praise Wacker to the stars etc. This guy will be a real scoop for Marvel, a massive blow for DC, and as per some of the comments from the vipers on the Newsarama board, I am concerned that this may affect 52, which was shipping regularly, great continuity and nothing but a whole hearted success. Good call JQ, but it looks like the next Marvel/DC cross-over event may involve JQ, shackles, a train track & Dan Didio driving!

After the countdown to Infinite Crisis, the crisis itself and current One Year Later/52, I have an insane amount of faith in the DC editorial team at large. I doubt that I will even sense a difference in 52, considering the creators are all there, etc.
