For MONTHS it's been listed as delayed until the end of January. Now I'm looking at the release lists and it's gone. It's not on the lists for any week in January, nor is it on the updated "late comics" list with a further postponement, nor is it on the "cancelled comics" list.

Roughly nine months after the last issue was out, and three or four months after it’s last solicitation, Marvel has confirmed that NYX will see its final two issues ship in June and July. The series’ earlier issues will be collected in the form of two Marvel Must Have editions. Robert Teranishi, who pencilled issue #5 will provide the art for the final two issues.

 

The series, which launched to critical acclaim and solid sales in October of 2003, written by Joe Quesada and fully illustrated by Joshua Middleton. The series (which was already a point of controversy due to a rather public tirade by artist David Choe, who, with Brian Wood, was associated with a version the concept prior to Quesada and Middleton’s version seeing life) was hampered by late shipping virtually out of the gate, with issue #2 slipping a few weeks, #3 roughly on time, and then a five month gap between that and issue #4, which finally hit in May of 2004 (which writer, and Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada took full blame for). Issue #5 hit shops last October, with #6 and #7 promised by late 2004 or early 2005. Along the way, the series, which had originally been announced as an ongoing, was cut to a miniseries, with issue #7 being the final issue.

 

We spoke with editor C.B. Cebulski about the series’ final hurrah.

 

First up – the delay in reaching issue #5, the reported back on track issue. “After Josh Middleton left, and Robert Teranishi came on board with issue #5, there were some growing pains in getting Rob adjusted to the style and match what Josh was doing,” Cebulski said. “Josh is such a fantastic artist, and was handling everything from pencils to inks to color on the book, so we had to find Rob an inker and a colorist who, together would be able to…not match, but at least appear similar to Josh’s work from the first four issues.

 

“We worked hard on that, and think it worked well – that was why there was such a delay between #4 and #5. Now, between #5 and #6 – there’s been another substantial delay, which was due to more personal things that got in the way with Joe and Rob, individually. Once everyone was back and running, and back in full health, we’ve been working on NYX #6 and #7. We’ve been doing pretty quietly to get a bunch in the can so that we can actually release it after we announce that it’s coming. We wanted to make sure we had enough ready to go, so that by the time it’s solicited, both issues will be done.”

 

According to Cebulski, issue #6 will be regular-sized, while #7 will be double-sized.

 

As for continuity of one of the series characters, while NYX #3 was the Marvel Universe debut of X-23, it’s essentially the middle chapter. “The last page of Craig Kyle’s X-23 series will lead directly into where she showed up in NYX #3 for the first time,” Cebulski explained. “In X-23, you’re going to find out how she came to be in the position she was in when we first saw her in New York City. After the NYX storyline, her next chronological story is the one that began in Uncanny X-Men #450.

 

Finally, issue #6 will round out the series’ cast, introducing two new characters, Tatiana and Felon. Both have already been seen on the covers for issues #6 and #7. And as for any potential lateness, Cebulski said to look somewhere else. “Both scripts are in and approved, right now, Rob is halfway through #6, so we’re going to hit our ship dates.”
