Michele, it's actually on Diamond Comics' ship list. It could still be delayed of course, but my experience has been that once it's on the ship list, it usually ships on time. I don't recall seeing a Dark Horse title on the ship list that didn't ship; they usually don't make it to the list.
Which doesn't mean it won't happen this time.
It should be noted that it is on the shipping list for the 21st, which is a projected list. There have been times (admittedly rare), when items that appear on "Next Week's Shipping List" don't make it to "This Week's Shipping List" the next time. Usually, that happens when there is a problem at the printer or with a Diamon warehouse, though.
The original solicit date for The Escapist #2 was March 3, and a collection of the first 2 issues was supposed to come out originally on March 17. Who knows when that will come out.
There's talk in Bureaublahblah about repurposing this thread to make it a general comics thread. Which it already is, pretty much, IMO, but we'd make it official somehow. Got an opinion of your own? Head thee to Bureaucracy!
I know it's not Jossverse, but it does have vampires, witches, humor and pop-culture (as well as literary) references: White Wolf is putting up a novel by Kevin Andrew Murhpy on their website in 8 parts. Parts 1 and 2 are up now
Oh. My. God.
I have a
very
battered print-out of that novel, that Kevin gave me in '97 or '98. It's very, very fun. Yes, I am biased about it, because of something Kevin admitted to me when he gave me the print-out, but it's still a fun read.
Wow.

Did he base a character on you too?
Man, we gotta start getting you royalties.

I better think of a prize to give you for guessing.

That's what Pete keeps saying.

Now
that's
an apt thread title.

That's very cool. I'm guessing WW asked him to write it and then never got around to publishing it, then?

Hmm. Sorry to say I don't know Jilli well enough to guess which of the Waydowners is based on her.
BTW, it's up to Part 5 for anyone interested.
Oops, Jilli, I asked you a question in Bitches. I followed the link to that novel, and what exactly is happening to White Wolf? Are they going out of business?
