JMS--

     After checking for "Rising Stars" #3 at my local retail outlet and
being told it was not yet available, I paid a visit to the Top Cow website
to see if a production delay had been announced.  To the contrary, it was
still listed in conventional fashion in the "Coming Soon" section for 
11/15-11/19/99.  What is more, the same section had a conventional listing
for "Rising Stars" #4, announcing it for 12/20-12/24/99.

     On the other hand, the listing announcing "Rising Stars" #5 for 
January 2000 was decidedly different:


     The unknown issue! Tempers reach an all time high as deadline
     crunches weigh heavy on the shoulders of all! Atist, inker and
     colorist are still unknown but JMS will still deliver one heck of
     a story. Soon to be lengthened into a 900 page novel, grab
     yours today. Peace!


What's *that* all about?

I've no idea, since the script for #5 was turned in *ages* ago.  In general,
the scripts have stayed 3 issues ahead of the publishing schedule.  And even
before it was turned in, I provided TC with a synopsis of the story for use in
solicitations.
