Tony Stark: Iron Man #7 was originally intended to be published for my birthday, on November 21st. Dan Slott is thoughtful like that.

Sadly Bleeding Cool shared the news that the comic would be a month late, coming out on December 19th after a number of delayed issues of the comic series. Still, in time for Christmas, I thought.

I thought wrong.

Tony Stark: Iron Man #7 has slipped another couple of weeks, a full 6 weeks late, and scheduled for the 2nd of January 2019. While Tony Stark: Iron Man #8 has slipped to the 30th of January.

The solicitation copy for Tony Stark: Iron Man #7 however, is as weird as ever…
