Questa sezione del forum è rimasta ferma per diverso tempo, per quel che riguarda i comics Gemstone, per un semplice motivo: non sono più usciti da ottobre 2007. WDCS, U$, ed i vari speciali previsti in questo periodo non sono stati pubblicati; in fumetteria non se ne aveva notizie, se non che gli ordini fatti non erano comunque stati annullati. Il sottoscritto ha inviato un messaggio a David Gerstein chiedendo lumi sulla questione, ma nessuna risposta è giunta. Pochi minuti fa, finalmente, è saltato fuori questo post da un forum USA:
Disney Comics: Getting Back on Track
Through a variety of circumstances, our Disney comics got off their traditionally very dependable schedule (actually, before this it was relentlessly dependable). We wanted to wait until we had a plan to correct the situation to announce it. Now we have our plans in place and plan on initiating the following accelerated schedule. A few details are still pending, though, but we thought we'd show you how we plan to get our titles caught up:

Our regular slate of monthlies and specials resumes in April 2008. As a result of this schedule change, only Christmas Parade #5 has been postponed. Retailer orders for this special will be canceled and it will be offered again in advance of the holiday season in 2008.
“We apologize to all of our loyal readers and retailers for the delays in these books. With this revised schedule, we firmly expect to be back up and running on our usual clockwork-like schedule in April,[ch65533] said John Clark, Editor-in-Chief of Gemstone’s Disney comics line. “On the other hand, all of the phone calls and emails have really reminded us that a lot of people really love our comics. We’re looking forward to rewarding their patience and support with a lot of great projects in the coming months.
Le date sono poi state leggermente modificate (giusto oggi), ma all'incirca di una settimana. Dunque, una crisi (sembra) passata; speriamo di rimetterci in paro al più presto.
