Can anyone here , please , point me to confirmation that the " Casper And The Spectrals " TPB , collected the first trhree issues of the magizine format miniseries plus some extra material , is actually coming out ?
A few weeks back , at a comics store , the proprietor found it listed a scheduled on Diamond's list , however , just now , Amazon did not list the TPB at all , just two different ways to buy the mini's first isse , and onmly that issue (the only one I saw) .

...A belated thank you to all !
At Another Board , I had reasonably raved about the first issue , was told later on that Ardden had switched plans from the original six-issue miniseries to a " fast TPB " of the first three issues .
Those 2nd and 3d magazine issues apparently came out , but I have never seen them .
There also was , apparently , some change in the artistic plan , with the artist on #s 1 & 2 not being the one on #3 , which I heard after I had heard of the plan to do a 1-3 TPB .
Now , the 1-3 TPB apparently reaches some at least semi-conclusion , with the material planned for #4-6 apparently hoped for for later publication , after a hioped-for good result for the 1-3 TPB's release ?
...Bluntly , that , I'm afraid , suggests that #1's sales , and 2-3's orders , were not as robust as expected:-(...
So Brendan Googles for mentions of his releases , then ?
I suppose most/many people do likewise..." Egotism " or good business practice , " supersering yr. potential customer " ?
The mini was NEVER planned for 6 issues; it was always planned for three. Our original artist was unable to turn pages in at a fast enough rate, unfortunately, resulting in a huge delay for issue #2. By the time we replaced him with another fantastic artist, there was another large, unfortunate delay before #3 hit stores.
Sales were solid but all-ages books can sometimes struggle to find an audience in this current economy.
Yep, it'll be there soon, too.
