    Default Astro City Ongoing?

    Over the last few years I have become a huge Astro City fan and nearly flipped out when Kurt Busiek announced a new ongoing was coming out late 2011. It's now April 2012- have we heard anything about a possible release date for this series? Anyone know?

    We're pretty close to being able to make an announcement, but my health has been pretty crappy of late, and we need to wait at least until I can stop winding up in the emergency room so much, and can settle down and be steadily productive again.

    Oh man, I had no idea it had anything to do with that, Kurt. Definitely hoping you get better. Good strength to you.

    I might as well tell you I've become a huge fan of yours in recent years, as I've read your entire Avengers and Conan runs, as well as all of Astro City, Shockrockets. And I was already a big fan of your Superman run. Just amazing range and consistent quality of stories. Hope that makes you feel better too!

    Take your time and get better. We can wait. Your health is more important than our need for a new Astro City story

    Yikes! Is this still fallout from the mercury poisoning or are you still fighting chronic sinus problems? Hopefully your health returns, for reasons more fulfilling than Astro City ...
