Anonymous asked: Civil War II #5 was due out in August but is now 14th September - Why? Is this event going to be another delay hell, like 'Secret Wars' was?

well, if you peak over at @davidmarquez Facebook you’ll discover that he and his amazing wife tara just had a kick ass baby boy. a very cute baby too.  and not all babies are cute at the start :)

not a delay hell, or a conspiracy, just a new baby in the middle of the hardest issue to draw.  the ending of four shows that five is a monster.

david has been handing in about a page a day for at the last couple of weeks so we’re getting back on track.

so much so that marvel greenlit an 8th issue for us.  i came up with a better ending but needed the pages.  very grateful that they let us do our thing.

so a little late and you get a little more.  here’s a sneak…

new issue this week!!  and its beautiful! and issue six is being colored up this week and seven is in active production. 

ps and remember when i said ‘better ending’ i MEANT a better way to do the intended ending. the delay actually made the series better creatively so… here we go.

i know some of you are frustrated by the delay but life happens and we NEVER meant to cause a delay.
