Has the release date ever actually come/gone and then a postponement date has been released after the fact? I'm not even really a fan of the UK comics, I just like seeing things through to completion, but at this rate the Beastie Boys may release their next album before this comes out. I dont want to use the word "hope", but has anyone heard any rumblings that 11/28 may in fact actually be *the day* ?

*edit* well this was unexpected, I actually got a response from IDW within 15 minutes, unfortunately it's not good news:

This title has actually been cancelled and will not be released.

Sorry for the bad news,
IDW Store

So it appears the UK re-release will not be completed...bummer.

Absolutely Gutted. FFS.

Nevertheless, top foruming o.supreme

If cancelation just had to happen, ok. Things happen that don't go to plan, it's not the end of the world.

That said, it would have been nice to see them at least get through this one since it would have included Space Pirates and Time Wars.

To those in the US looking for a cheaper alternative to buying those stories than scouring ebay for TFUK back issues, IDW did reprint both "Space Pirates" and "Time Wars" (plus a few other stories from the '88 Annual) in their Best of UK series a decade ago. Despite this, back issues of that run very cheap! TPBs are around as well.

Once you get past those it's tougher to find what would have presumably been in Vol 7. Assuming Vol 8 was to be "Earthforce", that gets tougher still, but as fun as that is once you get past "Time Wars" I think you've got the most important TF UK material finished with.
