Justice Society of America #2 ship date slipping

[sbp1972]

Was just browsing around and found a couple of sites (League of Comic Geeks and Things From Another World) showing JSA #2 pushed two weeks to 1/10.
Disappointing, and concerning. #1 slipped a week from it's original 11/22 date. #3 still shows 1/24, but I doubt that will hold. Hope this doesn't turn into another "Doomsday Clock" or "Shazam", other Johns' recent books that had shipping delays all over the map, and kill the momentum for the JSA's return.

Oh ****. I hope it doesn’t lose momentum due to delays. These first few issues should be double-shipping actually.

Eh, at this point is there a maxi-series by DC that doesn't have delays. It is interesting considering how adamant Johns has been lately about making sure they have enough issues in the can before they're announced to prevent another Doomsday Clock situation. To his credit neither Geiger nor Junkyard Joe's had delays so far so this is indeed surprising but considering all the delays by DC, not really unexpected.

Yeah, whatever this issue is with DC and their maxi-series is odd. Dark Knights of Steel, for example, got 6 straight issues out, and now it's like 3 in 8 months.

I know there have been a lot of slips / delays in titles I still get from Dark Horse Comics, but since I buy very little from DC these days I don't know what their general situation is like with other series.
There are a lot of things that can be responsible other than just delays with the creative end for a book, but I do get a bad feeling when something like this is creeping up on a Geoff Johns title these days. Hopefully delays won't go from one or two weeks to one or two months.

I feel like people will definitely blame the delays on Johns though.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Damn. I guess I gotta wait a bit longer.

Right? This is odd considering that about 3 weeks ago Johns & Janin were already working on issue #5. I'm not sure why they would be blamed for the delay when they're obviously working ahead.

Not sure I would put any of it on Janin. He seems to be fairly consistent.
And I've seen the quotes from them on working ahead, too, which makes this more curious that they are 0 for 2 on hitting solicited ship dates. I realize solicits aren't written-in-stone gospel, but the publishers don't set the dates on a whim.
I doubt we'll ever hear the story on why, but it is curious.

Yeah. Look for example at Stargirl and the lost children, it doesn't have any delay, yet people will blame Johns for the JSA's delays.

So this whole book is on a sliding timescale now?

It's not a good sign to have delays so early though.

Too soon to know.

Don't know if anything has been said about what may be causing any delays, and delays could be completely outside of the creative team's control.

One Year From Now: Issue#2

18 years from now: Issue#3….

(Sorry, it was too tempting) :P

Might be a last-minute rewrite for whatever reason?

And, again, delays may have nothing to do with Geoff Johns and/or Mikel Janín.

I'm not a very big fan of Geoff Johns these days, but I don't know if he has any control over this.
