Just a quick update for those of you who are planning on buying this year's Marvel Holiday Special, featuring a Spider-Man/Wolverine team-up written by yours truly and the lovelier and more talented-er Shaenon K Garrity. The good news is that our pal Ron Lim is the new cover artist for this issue, which will be sporting a bright, colorful cover, and should generate a few more sales. Click
here to get a look at the cover and a couple of pages from the issue itself.
The bad news is that because Marvel solicited a different cover for this issue than they did originally, they had to allow retailers to change their orders for this issue, which means that the release date has been pushed back to Wednesday, December 19. Those of you who are camping out at your favorite comic shop waiting for this issue will need an extra two weeks' worth of provisions, sorry to say, but the extra two weeks' worth of anticipation should offset that nicely.
The color pages look great, by the way. Thanks to artist Lou Kang and whoever our colorist is for a great job!
