4 Kids Walk Into A Bank HC (5/1)
Don Rosa’s The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Volume II Artist’s Edition HC (9/25)
Drawing and Life Lessons from Master Cartoonists HC (9/25)
James Cameron’s The Abyss Artisan Edition: Adapted by Michael William Kaluta HC (9/25)
Swamp Monsters TP (6/12)
Treasures Retold: The Lost Art of Alex Toth HC (5/29)

Three of those IDW are just terribly late. Is that Life Lessons book ever gonna come out?!? Oh, and the Swamp Monsters HC mentioned above, originally solicited as a 144-page, 8-1/2′ x 11′ hardcover ‘ will now be a 128-page, 7′ x 10’ softcover.

As has been widely reported, discussed, and lamented, DC has cancelled the following items, not to be re-solicited:

Batman: Faces In The Shadow DC Essential Edition TP
Batman: The Brave and the Bold Bronze Age Vol. 3 HC
Batman: The Long Halloween Modern Classic Edition HC
Green Lantern: Earth One TP
Justice League Of America – The Bronze Age Vol. 2 HC

DC is reportedly taking a different approach to Bronze Age reprints, and we shouldn’t expect anymore Omnibuses, even though in the case of B&B, that third volume would have completed the run. One odd note is that Green Lantern: Earth One TP is supposedly not getting re-solicited. It seems unlikely they would never put one of their popular Earth One graphic novels out in trade paperback. I guess we will see.

Also cancelled by DC but to be re-solicited:

Batman: Hush DC Essential Edition TP
Batman: Death Of The Family Saga DC Essential Edition TP
Hitman Vol. 1 Ten Thousand Bullets TP
Luthor: 10th Anniversary Edition TP

Image’s Leviathan Vol. 1 TP has been cancelled as the creative team tries to get the monthly comic back on track.

A few other shipping updates:

Batman Noir Gotham By Gaslight HC (4/10-4/24)
Bernie Wrightson Artifact Edition HC new edition (4/10-5/1)
Punisher Vol. 2 War in Bagalia TP (5/15-5/29)
Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol. 2 Stark Realities TP (5/22-6/26)

Dead Man Logan Vol. 1 TP will be re-titled Dead Man Logan Vol. 1 Sins of the Father TP. While at DC, Suicide Squad Vol. 8 Legerdemain TP has been re-titled Suicide Squad Vol. 8 The Final Mission TP. That’s too bad, as I’ve always liked the word Legerdemain.

Speaking of new titles, it looks like Marvel has a new branding, as X-Men by Roy Thomas & Neal Adams HC will now be re-titled X-Men by Roy Thomas & Neal Adams Gallery Edition HC.
