Have there been any issues released on time? I think there was one, maybe 2? Heck, number #1 was delayed due to specific issues not being delivered in time!
And my delay information came from my LCS, and they are very rarely wrong.

I just got a notice from Amazon that the Digital release is DELAYED to Feb 7, so that seems to confirm Hun's news about the Print edition delays as well.
This is getting ridiculous! Month after month, the creative team has delivered their work on time, early even. There NO excuse for these delays. I don't know if it's Titan Comics or Diamond Distributing, but they NEED to get this FIXED!

I would think if Diamond had them in time they'd be distributed so I _guess_the delay is the printer , whoever they are , getting them to Diamond. Don't understand why the UK is a week later as Titan are in the UK and Diamond's Euro hub is in the UK too. Jim seems to be as frustrated with things as everyone else. Let's hope the TPB & SSOC aren't affected.

This looks to be a case of someone not ready for THIS much success this soon. As a smaller company they’ve never had to deal with a substantive number of people REALLY expecting something to be delivered on time. Either their usual orders have been of a manageable size that they could handle it, or even if it slipped a week, no one was really concerned. That’s not the case for this title. I suspect the comic delivery will improve. Since the early omnis are mostly reprints, they just need to make sure all the Marvel remnants are removed. Apparently that’s taking longer than they thought, or finding an available printer to handle the load. Reminds me of the vinyl issue with records a year or two ago.

Thanks for the info Salant.
Still can't work out why we have to wait an extra week here in the UK. Should be the other way round.

Thanks for the info Salant. Still can't work out why we have to wait an extra week here in the UK. Should be the other way round. It is odd. but I wonder where the Printer is located? It might be in the USA, since that's where the majority of their sales market is. That would explain the added delay due to dangerous weather shipping them back to the UK. Just guessing. Anyone know better, please correct me.

Looks this will also be released on Wednesday in the UK - same as in the US.

Salant will be finally at peace when CtB 7 is released Already read it in Digital. It really worked for me! I hope everyone else enjoys it as much. And that those getting it in Print have a problem-free time of it, knock on wood.

So is it in stores now? I have to go to the comic shop after work anyway - just got a call that my pack of Torre 1-4 virgin covers is in : )

Damn! Never heard of that one and would have preferred that one. I ordered the 4-pack of Zircher virgin covers and was indicated it was limited to 1500. I do not see the de la Torre on Previews. Was de la Torre pack limited as well?

Yes limited to 1500. They're just shipping now, and are still widely available online for retail ($20). They're worth picking up, it's a great first run from Titan and these covers are all future classics. #1 especially!
I picked up #7 as well, another fun issue. I'm really enjoying the new series.
In the eassay at the back Shanks says: "Howard was primarily writing horror stories set in historical milieus, but with the gritty action and exotic locales of the adventure pulps". That's an interesting take on REH S&S, and one that got me thinking about the types of fiction I tend to enjoy. I think in the end, I'm more of a horror fan than a fantasy fan, which comes as a bit of a surprise to me. I don't like slasher horror, haunted houses, classic monsters, or even Lovecraft. But stuff like Conan or Alien or Riddick or Witcher (the Geralt parts) really hit the spot for me.
