This is ridiculous. The thing I hate most about being a comic book fan is that publishers and creators hardly ever give you any specific information about when a book may return and leave you hanging for what actually turns out to be years. It's unfair and a poor way to treat your readers. I hope FF enjoys his poor sales due to lack of interest after almost 2 years of waiting for the new series, he deserves it at this point.

I think that sales are precisely why we don't have a sequel for Black Beetle. His work-for hire work is selling way better than Black Beetle did.

Francavilla himself said back in early 2014 that the interest in Black Beetle : Necrologue was huge so I don't think sales are a factor.

It's frustrating but any information at this point will just lead to more broken promises, I guarantee this though, if and when this finally does come out IT WILL SELL!!!

But, unfortunately, do I really want to pay for an issue of [B][I]DHP[/I][/B] to get just one story in it? :(

I think its reasonable to expect that it will get collected eventually, but thats another 6-9 months of waiting..?
