I just ran the news that the Dynamite Entertainment Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic book by Kelly Thompsonand Stephen Byrne,and sister title Angel,by Kelly Thompson and Giulia Giacomino,both announced last year and meant to come out this summer, have just seen all their orders from comic book stores cancelled. I was asked if this is true, if the new Firefly comic book as well, and, yup, it seems orders for Firefly #1 and #2 byMark Russell and Lorenzo Re for September and October have also been cancelled. But also, this is not permanent; the comics themselves are being reshuffled and repackaged, and we can expect an announcement soon. Very soon, you never know, I might be able to publish this before the announcement. Quick check… no, not yet. But soon…
