Astonishing X-Men shipping dates changed. Despite Marvel saying #10 will be out next week, it has been pushed back to May 11th. #11 and #12 have also had their shipping dates pushed back.

The cover's kind of a departure from previous issues.

It's not on Diamond's shipping list for next week yet. :-/

Thanks Simon, maybe you should delete this thread and repost your link?

It was simpler just to reword your subject line. So I did so accordingly. Marvel are pretty hopeless when it comes to updating their website. Anyhow, people know now about the changes and it gives me an opportunity to post this news/speculation from IGN.com about the final three issues of the current plot arc. Little bit spoilerish so I've put it in invisible text.

The final three issues of "Dangerous" see the X-Men facing off against far more than just the sentient form of the Danger Room. When it's all said and done, the X-Men will be forever changed. If the cover to issue #12 is any indication, Xavier's secrets are finally coming back to haunt him.

Hopefully this will more than make up for the slight disappointment about the first three issues of the Dangerous plot arc. And I wondering whether the cover for issue 11 will be spoilerish as it hasn't appeared online yet but the cover for issue 12 has.

Much better, thanks. Next week seemed a little too good to be true.
I didn't mind the first three issues of the arc, but I will say that it looks like the last three will be very interesting.

Personally I found issues 7 & 8 to be intriguing and rife with misdirection (I think most of the ‘disappointment of the fans has been caused by jumping to the wrong conclusions). I enjoyed the hints in issue 9 and now I’m really looking forward to these last three, because I think that Joss is really going to surprise us.

I’m not too frustrated about these delays, anyone who hung in for ‘Fray’ knows that ‘Astonishing X-men’ has been amazingly on schedule!
