Halo Uprising

For those of you anxiously awaiting Marvel's "Halo: Uprising" miniseries, it is delayed. It is now expected to arrive 8/22/07 - about a month late. And it could be delayed again, since this has been delayed a couple of times already. As you can see from Marvel's web site, they did change the date from July, but it is still not the new release date they just gave retailers & Diamond this week.

We've had a lot of people ask about it, and they often look at us like we're lying or cheating when we tell them it's not out yet and it's running a week late. This is one of those comics that brings in non-comic book people, people that don't yet understand that the release date publishers originally give are often not the date that the comics actually arrive. Way to make an impression on new comic buyers Marvel.

note - this was received from Wizkids in an email - I did not write it, but I thought it was cleverly done, so I'm sharing it. The photo was added for interest, by me, and was not sent and is not part of the Halo Clix game.
