May Solicitations
DOCTOR SOLAR, MAN OF THE ATOM #8
Written by Jim Shooter, art by Roger Robinson and Agustin Alessio, colored by Alessio and Wes Dzioba, cover by Michael Komarck.
It's Doctor Solar, Master of the Unified Field, versus Mindbender, Master of Matter, for the championship of the universe. But how much of the universe will be left in their wake? And witness the spectacular double death of Tanek Nuro. Plus, in the conclusion of Solar's origin epic, a man-made sun lays waste to the world by fire. In the heart of the thermonuclear inferno, a consciousness strives to prevent the end of the planet--a consciousness reborn as The Man of the Atom.
32 pages, $3.50, in stores on May 4.
TUROK, SON OF STONE #5
Written by Jim Shooter, art by Eduardo Francisco, colored by Jose Villarrubia, cover by Raymond Swanland.
In a lost land ruled by thunder lizards, Native Americans Turok and Andar face dangers beyond time and imagination. In the service of Tech Lord Tinker, Turok leads an odd squad of castaway commandos on an invasion of the safehold of the Amazons. Their objective: a girdle made of ytterbium steel. Amazons are not easy marks--especially Phalanx, the daughter of a renowned twenty seventh-century champion.
32 pages, $3.50, in stores on May 18.
Looks like the connections are starting to show. Also looks like the lost land has some Twi'leks?

A battle for the championship of the universe, a double death, AND the conclusion of Solar's origin?!?

Did we find out that the books are indeed done?
It seems to me, Dark Horse isn't concerned with the solicitation dates being accurate. They seem to be using them more as a general road map, and less a specific target to be met. I would love for Magnus 4 to come out a week after Magnus 3, but the chances of that are pretty much nil.
I've given up on looking forward to a specific date for these books, rather I just watch for the preview pages to show up and know they will hit the stands a few weeks later.
I'm looking for Turok 2 preview pages to hit at the end of February if its going to come out in March.

I agree with part of that. The people who want these are going to buy them, but it's the marginal buyer that will say hell no to it due to the ship dates. Print numbers will decrease, interest dies and the book goes bye-bye after a while.Draco wrote:I guess the folks buying the books will pick them up regardless of the lateness etc, so they can take their time and get them right and not worry about *SQUEE* people off and losing readers.
Hell, I still have books on pre-order from 6+ months ago for the 2 books that are supposedly coming out next week. I'm trying to cancel those. You can bet there are others like me that will get the next issue or so because they've been pre-ordered online or in a shop, but don't really want them anymore.
Actually, it looks like they just removed those 3 books I had pre-ordered. Yes! I love DCBservice!
