Seriously? Why the change in release date for The World.. would think they would have had it all set and done months ago, especially if it's just a world building book.

That's a little disappointing. Wonder what the deal is.

With Image who knows. Issue 15 was supposed to be out in August but got delayed to September 15. September was going to be a skip month while we waited for The World to come out in October. But with 15 getting delayed until September, that off set The World I'm sure. August and October became the skip the months, but now we'll have EoW in November and December.

I'm getting enough titles now from Image that I'm really seeing the delays in the books that are supposed to be coming out monthly (not counting the planned skip/hiatus months). Try being a fan of the first issue of Wytches which came out October 8 and for whatever reason Image decided to delay issue 2 until November 19 (six weeks after the first issue! Not that great of a decision for a brand new book). Image claims issue 3 will be out 3 weeks later on December 3 and then 5 weeks later for issue 4 to come out on January 14. So who knows why Image does what they do. If you've been waiting for the final issue of The Great Pacific (issue 18) to come out like I have, then all those boners are purely on the creative side. 2 month gaps between issues to pump out the last arc. Kind of crappy for a book that was keeping a monthly schedule pretty well. I spoke to Joe Harris last month at the Rose City Comic Con here in Portland and I asked why the delays/is it cancelled? He said it wasn't cancelled and that this last arc was planned, but that it was really emotional to do this last one. Him and the artist really wanted to do a great job on it etc. He claims that they will tie up what they have done and set up but it will end in a way that it will let them continue Great Pacific at a later date, but that they're focus will be a new creator owned book coming out sometime next year, which if you ask me, has been the reason why this final arc has taken nearly a year to get out. But enough venting about other books. Back on topic with East of West!

Yeah Its Image u get used to delays, skips, etc

Have managed to get behind on a lot of books, this is one that I'm very much looking forward to getting up to speed on again!

Usually delays at Image aren't anything Image did, but the creators falling behind. They're only human. They're also in full control of their books, and sometime I bet they decide to take a little longer to do it better than rush out an inferior product. I think a lot of Image books make more money on trades over time than single issues, so the final product might be a more important consideration than the monthly schedule.

I could be wrong, but that's my thinking, knowing what I know about Image, and the industry. Being late never hurt The Walking Dead.

I'd guess Hickman had to focus on his Avengers/NA stuff. For those that don't know, the latest arc jumped ahead 8 months from the rest of the Marvel universe. I can't even imagine the amount of coordination he had to do with other writers to keep it in continuity as much as possible.

December 10th so far away!! Hope it doesn't get pushed back any further.

New week, new delay announcement. The World has been delayed from November 26 to December 3. Issue 16 is still supposedly scheduled for December 10. Ugh. Just waiting for this to effect the regular monthly. Man I want this book back. I really miss it.

The Image Website for Upcoming Releases still says 26 November, where did you get the 3 December from?
