14 titles on the list are 1-shots or part of a mini series. That seems like a lot. Is this the new way for comics? Just tell stories in mini-series. Get people to buy into a short series instead of trying to talk them into a long term commitment? Have more #1's so that more people check out your tale?
And how about the really late titles. The latest being Aspen Comic's Soulfire #8. I think 7 came out in 2006 sometime. And we can't blame Michael Turner--we lost him about 6 months ago now. And when did Marvel's Ultimate titles start running so long between issues? That brand used to be the one we could count on to be on-time (with the exception of Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk, of course). Wolverine #71 had it's previous issue arrive 1/2/09. Vincent Price Presents has issues #5 & 6 BOTH shipping this week - while the last issue we saw was back on 12/17/08. Ultimatium's issue before this one came out back on Christmas Eve, 12/24/08, and Ultimate X-Men's prior issue came out back when Wolverine came out, 1/2/09. Imaginaries Vol 2 is a great kid's comic, if only it came out more regularly - issue #1 came out 12/17/08; Greatest American Hero #2 is no better, with it's first issue coming out that same day. End League has seen sales continue to decline, and no wonder, it almost never comes out. The previous issue of End League hit comic racks 11/26/08.
