MERGE: The Twelve?

[The Confessor]

Weston says on his blog he finished that job and started illustrating the JMS script for the next issue.

Oh really? That's an interesting development. Maybe, just maybe, the delay with this series won't be too bad after all.

Just read in an interview with JMS on Newsarama. He and Weston are back on track to finish it.
Good news.

Excellent news!

The Twelve?

Is that how many months pass between issues?

Yeah, that's brilliant news! Can't wait to get my hands on another issue.

That's largely my understanding of things too. After the OMD debacle JMS decided not to remain Marvel exclusive. Were it not for that I'm pretty sure he would have been happy to stay that way. Now he's doing work for other companies some of his Marvel work has gone on hold as a result. The Twelve was no longer her his highest priority. Marvel should take some element of blame for that.

From what I understood he had planned on that before the so called falling out happened.

Actually, based on that Newsarama interview, it looks like it's Marvel's approach to events that's driving JMS away. Apparently there's a big crossover featuring Asgard coming up, and he may not want to be there for it.

29/04/09- When you are halfway through a major series for an american publisher, but the flow of scripts seem to have inexplicacbly dried up...

I got so fed up waiting for a script I decided to write my own.

17/03/09- I'm once again in the position of waiting for scripts,

It sounds past tense but is relevant

For a 12-issue miniseries, it was a pretty good 6-issue miniseries.

Kind of a shame they never finished the story, really. But then, that goes for a lot of the CrossGen titles, too.

Really hope this mini gets back on track as it seems like JMS has one story and Weston another.

I've found the Twelve to be an interesting character study but not much of a story. It's a solid read but I'm waiting to see something happen.

...Personally, I've enjoyed the ride so far, and actually wish it was a regular, continuing series under a writer who's a) able to adhere to a schedule, and b) has enough of an understanding about life during WWII to be able to write nearly a dozen characters all now suddenly uprooted and deposited almost 3/4 of a century in the future. This was an aspect of Captain America that except for some of John Byrne's stories never really did focus all that much on, with the logical reasoning being that since he's Captain Fracking America, he's adapted with little to no problems at all. The Twelve - or, as we already know, the Eleven - are by no means Captain America. You've got nearly a dozen individuals who've coped and not-coped with the Rip Van Winkle Syndrome, and it would be another hell of a ride to watch how they continue to develop in our current world.

This would be the perfect book to get Roy Thomas back into writing superheroes again, dammit.
