Hey, remember the multiple delays encountered by the previous Marvel/Icon series of Powers? (If not, click on the title and you’ll find our long-running thread about it.)
Well, seems that the second series is beginning to hit some bigger delays.
According to the latest Diamond shipping update, Powers #6, originally scheduled to ship April 28, is now delayed until Sept. 1.
That was the last updated shipping date for Powers #7, originally scheduled to ship June 30, which is now scheduled to ship Oct. 6, bumping Powers #8, which was last scheduled to ship on that date after being originally scheduled to ship in early August, to Nov. 3.

Only a week later and Powers #6 has been delayed an additional two weeks to Sept. 15.
Marvel has also announced that Powers Vol. 13: Z trade paperback is delayed until Nov. 17.
And, another couple of weeks, another two-week delay for Powers #6, which has now been rescheduled to ship Sept. 29. With that delay, it looks doubtful if Powers #7 will ship a week later on Oct. 6.
With September drawing to a close, it’s time for another Powers shipping update. While #6 continues on schedule for a Sept. 29 release, #7 is now rescheduled from Oct. 6 to Nov. 3, bumping #8, which had been scheduled to ship that day, to Dec. 1.
Ooops, looks like we missed a schedule update at some point as Powers #7 moved to a Dec. 1 shipping date and has now moved to a Dec. 15 release.
Powers #8‘s latest release date hasn’t been announced.
It’ll be 2011 before Powers #7 ships as the latest shipping update has moved it to a Jan. 12 shipping date. Still no word on when Powers #8 can be expected.
Perhaps the Walking Dead folks that are moving over to Powers’ long-delayed live-action version could help out?
It’ll now be much further into 2011 before another issue of Powers ships. The latest shipping updates have #7, which was originally solicited to ship June 30, 2010, as now shipping Feb. 23, 2011, and #8, originally solicited to ship Oct. 6, is now scheduled to ship March 23.
