The final issue has been delayed to April 18. No issue in March.
I'm going to guess its the artist causing the delay although I'm in no way saying that there is some nefarious reason behind it on DC's part. There could be real life issues involved and I'll never be angry at a creative when that happens. Disappointed sure but not angry. I'm basing my guess on the fact that he was only able to do three issues to begin with and the second issue was also delayed.
It's a disappointment for sure but these things happen and I refuse to allow it to curb my interest in this book or in Duke for that matter.

What I suspect is the black and white cover for Issue #3 : https://twitter.com/sbrittian93/stat...28423059214336
Looks nice
Also, big news! Batman and the signal #1 in the top 10 comics for January! http://blog.comichron.com/2018/02/fi...ics-sales.html
I'm expecting a drop mostly because of delays, but I'm sure this has already convinced DC this was a good decision.
That's great news! I mean, I'm sure that the numbers will drop (delays inevitably produce that) but probably not so much, I mean, it's just a three issues series, so even if it get delayed a month, it doesn't risk to be too bothersome and so I don't expect peoples to drop it in too massive number.
I must also says that with White Knight #5 out Duke's profile is probably raised a little, even if his role was small. I mean, he was on a variant cover and all. I really like Murphy's take on Duke, I find it to be the perfect way to do an elseworld : the characters are recognizable, but they are also quite different (Duke has a movement in Blackport, just like he had WAR, he seeks to protect Gotham with a different perspective than Batman does, etc.). It's great for the character that White Knight is so awesome and works so well. I almost wonder if Cousin Jay isn't a "version" of Murphy's DUke, really.
I don't know if this has been said but wouldn't it be really cool if NuWally( he really needs a new name) and Duke formed a relationship like Dick and Wally? There would be some really fun and unique symbolism there. Might even form a unique bond between all four of them.

I think the White Knight version of Duke is more interesting than the main version, so far. Duke always felt more like a social activist than a costumed adventurer at heart. Duke in White Knight feels like an example of DC trying to be timely and relevant and actually pulling it off. With the success of White Knight I'm hoping for a sequel and a Duke solo.
Lets see in a month leading up to a certain film-he beats every single POC lead book.
On bleedingcool-the book is listed as 9th in actual purchases.

This is probably the FIRST time a black DC hero has been ranked that high.
It might be for one issue but at least you got the message of folks were willing to try the book.
Even if it falls to 10K-you have been told there is interest in Duke.
