Am I the only person who doesn't want Hardhead to buy the farm? Looks like the action is definately gonna pick up for issue 3 onwards, I just wish each issue was longer or they were closer spaced...... must be patient.... must be patient  |

Yep it's a shame all right. We wait for bloody ages and then when the comic finally arrives its all over for another month just as you're getting into it. I recently re-read Secret Wars from 1984 and each one of those issues is a meaty read. Back in the day you got a bit more bang for your buck in terms of word count.
That said Furman's doing a great job with Devastation, but I have to echo what was said above. We need a longer instalment or less of a wait.

More regular releases would be good too. 2 in one month, and now no sign of #3? Having said that though, I kind of like the wait between the issues on IDW's run, builds the anticipation and excitement more I always remember with the Marvel runs that if you had a storyline that wasn't so great (e.g. anytime Grimlock puts on a crown) it just seemed to drag because it was spread out over so many issues. |

To be fair to Marvel, for the first few years of its run it was printing an 11 page story every week. So even if you had one of the less appealing US stories running it was done and dusted in a fortnight. It was only later when Marvel switched to the disastrous three-story format that the US material dragged, and even then a standard story would be wrapped up within a month, just like now.
I don't know what's going on with IDW at the moment. As chrisp500 says it was two issues in October followed by nothing this month. The quick release of two issues was to get the comic back on schedule. So much for that idea.
Hopefully we'll get two editions in December and then no more of this funny business. Building expectations is one thing, but there'll be people who will stop reading if the comic is never in store every time they go to the shop. Or (in my case) will think its lost in the post or that I haven't sent it.

My local comic shop thought it was out 2 weeks ago, IDW's release page said last week, now who knows.
Personally I can wait, and would be happy with an IDW intern going on the forums and just saying "Sorry folks, nothign this week".
But they are running a business and it must be very frustrating for people who rely on them (like Steve) for their own businesses.

I think Devastation #3 is supposed to be out this week (it's listed on IDW's website). But yeah, this month's been rather slow on new releases. I'm praying for BW: Ascending #3 to be out soon! I'm so keen to find out what happens next in that one. And are the BW Sourcebooks going bi-monthly now?
