I just got a note from my comic seller that ARAH 293 And 294 were canceled, with the reason as "will resolicit." Kind of weird, but just a heads up. I wonder if IDW is just going to cancel before 300.

#292 was also supposed to be out today and didn't come out, either, though the Cobra reprint one-shot did. I highly doubt this is a full cancellation, more likely another major publishing delay. IDW seems to have a lot of problems with getting comics out on their advertised release dates.

I wonder if the last several issues will just finish out at Skybound or whomever gets the license. Stranger things have happened.

My Comixology account shows a May 11 release date for #292 and June 8 for #293.

That's weird. Let's just wait and see what happens.

I was hesitant to believe that release schedule which suggested 2 issues a month for awhile in order to get #300 out during the IDW license.
Although there was a period of time about five years ago that the team was able to pull something similar off. We aren't in the economic wonderland of five years ago anymore though.

If 292 comes out in May, 300 is on track for December.

My order of #292 is still live and in process (as is #295, interestingly). The orders from Diamond are usually solicited no later than three months in advance in order to gauge the size of a print run. This means that the earliest #293 would likely come out would be July, if IDW resolicits it immediately. This means that either the series is going to skip two issues and resolicit later (unlikely, but possible), or that the series will have to catch up with extra issues between now and December. This is all speculation at this point, but it does not bode well.

I just remembered one other big factor that may be responsible: IDW is switching to using Penguin Random House as its exclusive distributor on June 1. #293 and #294 were supposed to come out before then, but if they're being delayed until after June 1, IDW would have had to cancel the original Diamond orders so they could be replaced with Random House orders. (That would explain why #295 hasn't been affected, since it was already planned to come out after the distributor switch.)

That actually seems plausible, under the circumstances. Thank you for bringing that up. I think I memory-holed their move away from Diamond.
