"It's delayed because, although all forty six pages are pencilled, the inking hasn't been finished and the colouring has to be done. After Mark's prolongled and unfortunate illness delayed the script due to Civil War's scheduling priority Paul especially needed work to do and accepted the assignment inking Trev; Laura's always in demand and I had plenty to keep me busy. the script came in, I pencilled it in two months (possibly the fastest I'd worked on the book ever) but it's in the hands of inking right now. Paul's finished his work on Wisdom and is concentrating on picking up Ultimates- he's about a dozen pages in- and should be done end of month with colouring a coule of weeks later.
I believe the December and Jan dates were originally offered based on how well I was working on the pencil side of things and an assumption based on how closely behind me Paul has always worked in pages. Given that isn't the case on this issue because I pencilled far more quickly than expected and that Paul had other recent committments to get out of the way before it could be finished AND that the book is more than double sized, cut the team this last bit of slack guys, okay?
There's no conspiracy to withhold the last issue to make a bigger splash or fill perceived gaps, or make a sales quarter swell (believe me, Marvel would MUCH rather have had this in the last quarter of 2006 than anyweher else). It's just not finished. I am, IT sn't.
Groovy?"
