So, I just listened to a podcast with Lemire from February, and he said Descender was going to keep going.

FYI, should be announced shorty, but expect a pivot.

Does anybody know what is going on with Southern Cross? My issue #15 and #16 pre-orders have been cancelled.

So this Bleeding Cool article states that Southern Cross #15 & #16 are simply delayed for so long that Image has decided to re-solicit them. That means they'll see release, but the current solicitations (and thus all associated pre-orders) have been cancelled and they'll go up again in the future (likely will be solicited from August onwards, so the earliest release would beeee late October? November? Gargh, comics!)

I'm not thrilled about those issues being delayed; but it's a big relief to know that they are on the way. This series has really ramped up the story, and I'd love to see what happens next.

Yeah from the article it seems like a lot of stuff has been pushed back several months. I'm rather glad to see Sun Bakery will continue and Mirror #10 will be released though, personally I'm not too fussed about delays really, but then I'm the type of person to sometimes just let series pile up for a while.

Cool, thanks for the info! I think I heard the artist had a baby too so that might have something to do with the delay.

Me too! It's starting to get good now. Kinda reminds me of the movie Event Horizon.

How funny. While reading the last few issues, I was thinking of that film too.
