I believe this line can succeed if given enough time. I also believe it's all going to come down to how much Mike Richardson and company are willing to go through for this line to survive. I expect sales numbers to get worse before improving, and that improvement on numbers will only happen if given enough time to develop.

The scheduled release date for Solar #7 is actually May 23rd. Unless that is a mistake by DH, it appears to be an attempt to reconcile their advance schedule with actual shipping dates.

Yes. Lone Star also has the above in stock minus the Samson variant which is not mentioned.

There shouldn't be a 3 or even 2-month gap between #6 and #7 once #5 and #6 are most certainly rescheduled.

Second_Death posted some changes to the schedule, and I updated the top post. The top post now has a new look, which will make things a bit easier for me keeping this updated.

The latest new release list for 1/19 does not include Magnus, Solar, Turok.

However, Dark Horse still shows them in their upcoming releases page.

Yeah, remember Solar #3. It didnt come out on the day it was supposed to and DH never changed it on there website. Thats pretty lame that it has taken 15 weeks for one comic to come out. I understand that building a universe and all the work that goes into it takes a while but the sales #'s for Magnus might be under 5,000 for issue 3! :atomic:

Turok #1 was released back on 10/13 and now #2 is scheduled for 2/2. That's almost 4 MONTHS!
