-=PUBLISHERS covered at present:

collections or graphic novels, or comics-related magazines.
-=DISCLAIMERS:
This is a list of comic books that have *not* arrived in stores as of
the date above. When they *will* come out is anyone's guess.
Only new comics, hardcover and softcover graphic novels, hardcover
reprint collections, and trade paperbacks are covered. Limited
editions and new printings of previously released items are not
included. I will include an additional list of newly cancelled or
resolicited items when possible.
If you have any information regarding any item on the list, or if you
think an item on the list has come out, please contact me.
Even with only one distributor left, distribution to all areas is not
entirely consistent. Actual on-sale dates may vary from region to
region, or even store to store.
cheers,
andrew
