    Toy Galvatronus has been going around and stealing IDW employees to use as limbs as revenge for not being in the comic. Slows things down!

    Because comics. Delays happen in the comic world all the time, and this is why you can never be sure exactly what is coming out until Diamond releases its confirmed shipping list for the following week on Monday.

    well Stone was originally solicited for Windblade #3 and now it turns out shes not doing it, so maybe something happened on her end that caused the delay

    anyway Windblade #3 is now solicited for a 6/10/15 release

    Now that makes sense. Change of artist so they had to find a new one. And as a result they couldn't start on time.

    At least we know when.

    I was always told that comics are done 3 months in advance.

    Dont think thats the reason for the delay but could be wrong.

    Well, according to the comixology email, the finale is to come out on the 10th. Let's hope so.

    MTMTE is currently listed for the 17th on Previewsworld alongside Transformers #42. It would be too good to be true. But I think it'll likely change.

    Why would they have to keep changing at this point?

    The gap has to be four weeks between issues. And the 17th would be three weeks since #41.

    And since this thread has stuck around, I took the liberty of giving it a proper title.

    Why does it have to be 4 weeks if there were delays? That does not make sense.

    Roberts said on Twitter that there's at least 4 weeks between each issue.

    Why does their have to be? MTMTE is the hottest title of the bunch if anything. the release dates should be the closest?

    How about "How can the dumbasses take away pages and still not get the shit out on time?"

    Seems like the most logical question.....

    How long would one page take to make anyway?

    Comixology only lists Transfomers #42(likely going to be a weak issue) for next week. So looks like the 24th will be two issues. :D

    well I just got done reading Windblade #3 (I get to read the books a day early) the art looks rushed and IMO SHIT. a lot of cool stuff to come, by the looks of the last few pages of the issue.
