Thanks, Dark Horse. I think…

Originally, vol. 12 of “The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service” was supposed to come out back on June 8, according to Amazon.  Then I got a notice stating that it was going to be delayed until July 14.  Delays like that aren’t uncommon, so I took it in stride.  Earlier this week, I got another notice stating that would now be coming out on January 12, 2012. This was a bit harder to take, but what’re you going to do?  Besides ask the Dark Horse staff about it while trying to hold back your seething rage at the Comic-Con panel, I mean.

However, one of their titles will be shipping sooner than I had expected.  I received word earlier today that vol. 4 of “Neon Genesis Evangelion:  Campus Apocalypse” has shipped and will be arriving at my door a full week ahead of schedule.  Normally this would be a good thing, but if you’ve been following what I’ve said about the other volumes then this isn’t likely going to end well.  At least they’ve got new titles from Kohta Hirano and Yasuhiro Nightow in the coming months, along with a new volume of “Blade of the Immortal” in October.  Hopefully we won’t see any delays there.
