See, this is why people who aren't regular comics readers are giving up on the series. This is some disorganized bullshit.
Did you read Fray? This is nothing compared to that.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

When I picked up my last box of pulls, which was half a year's worth at least (I have officially moved to trades), we made many jokes at the expense of certain Bendis titles that appeared to have gone back to an erratic release cycle. Though still not as bad as Planetary was.

This is some disorganized bullshit.
You're talking about an industry that thinks it's sane to organize titles by publisher. Be grateful they don't use an Aztec calendar for release dates.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Be grateful they don't use an Aztec calendar for release dates.
Actually, it would explain a lot.

I think I started reading it issue by issue but gave up and just read it when it was finally collected.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know, I think it works in a publisher-oriented industry. There are DC comics and Marvel comics and Image comics and so on.

Was? I thought the last issue was still pending, or did it finally come out?

I don't understand. It's only publisher-oriented to the publishers. Stores don't shelve books by publisher, or CDs by record company, or DVDs by studio. Because that'd obviously be insane. Why make it as difficult as possible for your potential customer to find a title? Especially when you're an industry that's got a niche market and need to be accessible to new readers if it's going to survive?
I thought the last issue was still pending, or did it finally come out?
No, it hasn't. I think the last bulletin was that Cassaday had started on it.

Was? I thought the last issue was still pending, or did it finally come out?
HA!
You're right. There is that one last one that I think I'd decided I'd imagined was still supposed to come out, due to the extreme lateness.
No, it hasn't. I think the last bulletin was that Cassaday had started on it.
So, 2010, then? I should email my shop and tell them "I still want you to pull that LAST ISSUE of freaking Planetary if it ever comes out. Just FYI."

Stores don't shelve books by publisher
The comic stores I've been in (around here; maybe other cities do it differently) have the titles separated by publisher.
