Miss Fury: Joy Division from Dynamite due October 2018

Well, maybe third time will be the charm?

First, Dynamite gave us an 11-issue Miss Fury series written by Rob Williams and with pencils by Jack Herbert that came out in 2013-2014.


Then, in 2016, they tried again, this time with a 5-issue run written by Corinna Bechko and art by Jonathan Lau.


Now, word is that Billy Tucci and Emma Kubert will be giving us Miss Fury: Joy Division, with the first issue expected to available in October of 2018.

I'm looking forward to this!

I'd rather read a comic about a crime-fighting ***** cat called Ms Furry

Edit: wow, apparently pu$$y is a rude word!

I bought the first series, but had no idea the second even existed.

"Ms." wasn't really used back before the 1970s . . .

Well, the first issue of this series was suppose to be available this past Wednesday (10/3/2018), but it appears to have been delayed?

As to when it will actually be released? Who knows?!? (I'm seeing a date of "Dec 26, 2018" on some sites, and I know sometimes the date of the very last Wednesday in the year is more of a place-holder than a firm date if a title doesn't normally ship in the last week of the month.)

So, another book we'll likely never see...

Not necessarily.
It always seemed to me Dynamite was notorious for not keeping their books on the schedule they were originally solicited at. Just have to wait and see what finally happens with this one.

Well, they had a date of "Dec 26, 2018" for issue #1, then it was listed as "In Shops: Jan 02, 2019" sometime in November, but before the end of that same month, Previewsworld had it as moving to "In Shops: Apr 24, 2019".

Of course, they haven't gotten around to updating the dates of Issue #2 ("In Shops: Jan 23, 2019") or issue #3 ("In Shops: Feb 20, 2019") again yet.

Latest listing on Previewsworld have:
* issue #1 = In Shops: Apr 24, 2019 (same as earlier this month)
* issue #2 = In Shops: May 22, 2019
* issue #3 = (still) In Shops: Feb 20, 2019
but I'm guessing issue #3's date will be changed in the near future to possibly June 26th, 2019?

Or possibly June 2091, at this rate...

Tell me about it!

I don't know if I'm likely to give any Dynamite titles a chance in the future after this mess. (Not that I had plans at the moment to look into any, but I wasn't a very satisfied customer with the last Green Hornet run, and the recent Project Superpowers series written by Rob Williams felt so generic and lackluster.)

I'm still enjoying Red Sonja and Thunderbolt.

Well, the September 25th date was still listed on Previewsworld earlier this month, but when I went to double-check today, I saw the date had been changed AGAIN to "In Shops: Jan 29, 2020"?!?

At this point, does anyone even care?

Unfortunately, it's one coming(?) book I do still care about.

At the moment, issue #1 is still listed on Previewsworld as "In Shops: Jan 29, 2020" with issue #2 "In Shops: Feb 26, 2020". (But I'm still not seeing a listing for issue #3 with an updated date.)

Will have to see if those dates change (AGAIN!) either this month or next.

You appear to be in a bit of a fury over the missed dates?

tony ingram wrote:You appear to be in a bit of a fury over the missed dates?

Terrible pun.

I just get annoyed when the one series I'm most interested in from a company is delayed at least a-year-and-a-quarter from when it was originally solicited (with the hope there won't be any further delays).

It doesn't help when the Dynamite website (https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C72513027347501011) still has it listed with "ON SALE DATE: 10/3/2018" as well as "Shipping: Available Soon!"

At least we also have the cover of issue nr. 2 to be published (hopefully....) on 26 (or maybe will be 29) February 2020!

Unfortunately, to me the cover art doesn't really mean anything unless there are competed pages of story to go with it.

I still remember back in 2015 when Joss Whedon announced at San Diego Comic Con a big project he would be doing for Dark Horse called "Twist", which was described as a "Victorian female Batman".



Nothing ever came after that big announcement (at least, so far . . . )

I'm not sure that's such a bad thing, to be honest...

Well, I have always loved info about comic book unpublished projects, like the aborted Shazam! relaunch by Alex Ross & friends of which there is a feature on one of the latest issues of Twomorrows' Back Issue magazine. Btw, do you have more info about Joss' Twist?  
I also remember there was a nice regular feature about unpublished projects on Overstreet Fan magazine (the monthly one, Hero Illustrated alike) several years ago, anybody remembers that one (the magazine)?

When I checked this morning, those dates are still the ones showing up on Previewsworld, but still no listing for issue #3 with a new date.

I guess we'll have to see if there's any change to any of this after the holidays or not.

I'm still waiting for the second issue of Daredevil: Bullseye...

Still saying ""In Shops: Jan 29, 2020" with "Final Orders Due: Jan 06, 2020" which is a week from tomorrow.

Hoping they FINALLY put it out next month, but . . . only time will tell.

Also hoping that if/when it is finally released that it will have been worth the wait!

While issue #1 is still listed as "In Shops: Jan 29, 2020" with "Final Orders Due: Jan 06, 2020" as of this afternoon; and issue #2 is also still listed as "In Shops: Feb 26, 2020" with "Final Orders Due: Feb 03, 2020", I get this nagging feeling something's not quite right since it doesn't appear that issue #3 (which would be out in late March if this is a monthly title) hasn't been re-solicited yet?

MajorHoy wrote: [...] I get this nagging feeling something's not quite right since it doesn't appear that issue #3 (which would be out in late March if this is a monthly title) hasn't been re-solicited yet?

In fact I checked Dynamite section in January Previews and there is no sign of Miss Fury: Joy Division # 3

Just checked again.

Now Previewsworld lists issue #1 as "In Shops: Feb 05, 2020" with "Final Orders Due: Jan 13, 2020"? (One week later for everything?)

No change to the dates for issue #2 (YET).

If the first issue has been pushed back, the second will be, too.

Not necessarily if it's only a delay of one week, but we'll (I'll) just have to wait and see if there are additional delays (AGAIN) for issue #1's release date.

One other thing that concerns me with the one-week delay on the release date is that something similar happened back in November of 2018 with this issue!

All in all, it's just plain bizarre / annoying!

And now Previewsworld doesn't even have issue #1 showing up on their site?!?

They still have entries for Issue #2 at https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP181158 and https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP181159, but at the moment Issue #1 comes up as

ITEM NOT FOUND

Guess I'll have to check again in a few days to see what's up, but I'm really about ready to just give up on this and wash my hands of Dynamite entirely!

In fact all published and unpublished Miss Fury are shown there at the link below and there is only a preview of issue 2 (with 2 covers) as of now....

Yeah, I found that when I was searching to see if maybe issue #1 was being given a new listing on the site.
I'm assuming the entries for issue #2 (which was supposedly due out next month) will also disappear in the next several weeks (unless a listing for issue #1 shows up again soon with another new date).

I'll have to see if anything changes regarding issue #1 next month and whether or not those issue #2 entries will just disappear or not. (I'm assuming they will eventually.)

I'll check February Previews, when should be online in a couple of days, to see if Miss Fury will be there, eventually....!

If they had already solicited it before, Dynamite may not bother submitting a new solicitation for it.

And now there aren't ANY listings for the Miss Fury series that was originally due out in late 2018!
The entries that had been listed on Previewsworld for issue #2 now show up as  

ITEM NOT FOUND

just like what happened with issue #1 last month.

So much for Dynamite as far as I'm concerned.

A little more about Dynamite's Miss Fury Vol. 3 series:
* The ComicList "Extended Forecast" section for Dynamite's solicited titles (http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/lists/dynamite-entertainment-extended-forecast-for-02-05-2020) has "Cancelled" listed for all the entries regarding issues #1-3.

* The Dynamite website (https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/) has no information regarding the "Miss Fury: Joy Division" beyond the initial entries for issues #1-3 (with original planned release dates of late 2018) that I could find.

* Under the Dynamite website's section for "Characters" (https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/infoDB.html?index=characters), there was no listing for "Miss Fury" that I could find. (And yet they still have entries for characters like The Phantom, The Shadow, and The Spider, but off the top of my head I can't recall the last time any of them appeared in a Dynamite comic book.)

Checking the Comiclist link you submitted, we see that this month Dynamite should publish comics with 13   covers for Red Sonja # 13, 15 covers (!!) for the new Vengeance of Vampirella series, 19 (!!!) covers for Death to the Army of Darkness, 22 covers (!!!!) for Dejah Thoris # 3 and so on.....

I guess they pick up extra $'s when certain people buy more than one copy for variant covers, or else stores order those to try and get away with charging a lot more for certain variant covers.

Believe it or not, the Miss Fury: Joy Division project might still be happening, but in a slightly different version.

Last month, it seems that it was announced it would be done as a graphic novel instead of as individual issues. Also, it appears that Dynamite is working through IndieGogo (a crowdfunding site that's an alternative to Kickstarter?).

It's always a lot of fun to read these statements, after years of delay...:  
“This is a story Billy has wanted to tell for years,” said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite Publisher. “Some fans may remember it was originally going to be periodicals, but there were scheduling issues. Then Billy wanted to change the format and take it directly to fans, as he’s done so successfully with Shi. Billy wanted to bring in Maria, but she was busy working on our fun crossover with Archie Comics, so we pushed this back until she was available. With Ceci and Mindy joining too, everyone has finally been able to get back to this project, and it’s become all the more personal and better for it. I can’t wait for fans to read this incredible story!”

Sure we can't wait for this story too, after all this time...

But I still don't know if there any dates yet (especially since it now involves crowdfunding) for when it will finally be available or if I will eventually be able to buy it in a store (as opposed to going through the crowdfunding stuff).
