Wow. Delayed until May 20th huh? http://www.marvel.com/catalog/WOLVERINE.72 Sorry if DiG or Brian posted this somewhere else. But this is my first time finding this out. |

Hmm March 20? That is going to be interesting since next month is a double one and done with 73 and 74 so they can get 75 out as Dark Wolverine. Sounds like we're going to have to have like 3 or 4 weeks of Wolverine in a row. |

Yes, it looks like we will. Interestingly enough, #73 will be out first, followed by #72 and #74. http://forums.wolverinefiles.com/topic/1548516/1/#new |

yeah that is just a bad idea. People are going to be confused and think they missed something. Already it was going to be difficult since the end of Old Man Logan is going to be a special that is not coming out for at least three months. But then to switch around the release dates of the series. That's just stupid of them. |

Looks like they are trying to get the word out... http://www.newsarama.com/comics/040924-WolverineJuggle.html According to Diamond, Marvel has changed the order in which the next two issues of Wolverine will be released. According to the news, issue #73 of Wolverine will be released before #72, on May 13th, while issue #72, the penultimate chapter of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s “Old Man Logan” will be released on May 20th. Wolverine #73 is written by Jason Aaron and Daniel Way, with art by Adam Kubert and Tommy Lee Edwards, and features two, two-part stories focusing on the modern day version of the character, something Diamond notes, may be helpful in picking up new readers who saw the X-Men Origins: Wolverine and are looking for more of the character. As announced at New York Comic Con, “Old Man Logan” will conclude in the extra-sized, Giant Size Old Man Logan. Wolverine #74 is due in stores on May 27th, and will feature the conclusion of the Aaron and Way stories. Currently, the title is due to change names to Dark Wolverine with issue #75, and Wolverine’s son, Daken is slated to take the lead role. That issue is due in stores on June 17th. |

While it's good they are trying to let people know what's happening, that press release is a little hard to read even for me and I know what's going on. For someone not familiar with the title or the character that would be a kiss of death. |

Maybe. It is really confusing. They basically put too many Wolverine titles out in advance and ended up tripping over their own feet. I am forgiving of this though, It's not going to hinder my enjoyment of Old Man Logan. |

Well, plus they couldn't wait much longer by delaying #73-74 since the Daniel Way 2-part story is the launching point for Dark Wolverine. |

Well I'm still very much against the whole Dark Wolverine switch and that is the biggest reason why they had to double up the issues. But oh well at least it shouldn't break up the run too much. It's only a week difference. |
