What is happening with Marvel’s Dexter comic? Originally announced way back in October 2011 and eventually solicited for October 2012, the five issue series written by Dexter creator Jeff Lindsay managed to get two issues solicited before being announced as delayed one month before it was due to appear. Then, it got resolicited for this month. And then, this weekend, it got delayed again:
DEXTER #1 (OF 5), DEXTER #2 (OF 5) and DEXTER #3 (OF 5) have been cancelled and will be re-solicited at a later date.
At least this time they got three issues solicited before it got pulled. But what’s with the second last minute cancellation? And will we ever actually get to see this series eventually?

just a guess, but i’d bet the plot conflicts with the tv series somehow.

@threadkiller, the comic is based on the novels, not the tv show, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

It wasn’t just solicited, there are full page ads for it in recent Marvel books. Oops!

I got a feeling that there is some kind of trouble between Dexter the Comics and Dexter the series. Dexter was based on the novel but we both know that the tv show somehow play a greater role in the comics. I hope that everyone will get their act together.
