Suddenly, DC is very, very grateful it’s a leap year. The publisher has told retailers that Justice League #6 will ship two weeks late, with the once-every-four-years February 29th date being the only thing that keeps it within its solicited month of release; this is the second month in a row that Justice League will be shipped late, with the delay doubling in length this time around.

Artist Jim Lee takes a two issue break starting with the March-solicited #7, allowing Gene Ha and Carlos D’Anda to illustrate the next two issues while Lee gets a jump on the next storyarc, “The Villain’s Journey,” scheduled to begin with #9 – an issue that hasn’t been solicited yet. Could we see Justice League take a break for a month in order to give Lee a chance to get ahead on deadlines again, perhaps…?
