Absolute Batman #21 Delayed One Week Due to Absolute Catwoman #1 Print Run Straining DC's Capacity
By
Rich Johnston
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Absolute Batman #21 has been delayed by one week (from June 12 to June 17) because DC Comics' printing capacity is being fully utilized by the large print run for Absolute Catwoman #1. The delay highlights the massive demand and importance of the Absolute Batman series in the current comic book market, as even a minor scheduling shift is considered newsworthy. Writer Scott Snyder confirmed the move was to avoid straining the distribution system.
