Anonymous asked: "It’s a big, complicated storyline and it took far longer and became far more ambitious than we’d anticipated–to the point where we had to add another issue to it in order to fit everything in." If that's so, why was the page count for #7 and #8 reduced from the original solicit to what Diamond now is telling retailers?
Because originally they were one issue. This is why issue #9 was added. Jonathan’s first draft script of issue #7 was 45 pages long, so we wound up reformatting it and breaking it into two issues, #7 and #8, and the original #8 is now #9.
