Not available yet(?)

Fifth week in December.
Any time you've got a fifth week there's a delay in most comics in general depending on thier printing schedule (same thing happened with Archie Sonic actually) whcih usually comes out on a four week schedule but didn't this week.
So no.

That's Rough. Is Gemstone having problems with their printer again?

This is still the upcoming issue, right? Anyone know when it's coming out?
Roger North
I think it's supposed to come out next month.

Any word on printing date for 384 yet?

I finally have the November issues at the very end of January. So Gemstone is still behind the issue printed date by 2-2.5 months, and the actual release date to stores should be 2 months ahead of the printed date. So, Gemstone is still 4 months behind. They have NOT been releasing a new issue every 2 weeks to catch up. If they continue to put one out every 3 to 3.5 weeks, it will take them 8 months to catch up to where they should be.

I actually thought it was this week myself, but I guess not. I suppose the only thing now is to say it'll come out when it comes out?
As a sidenote I think Gemstone should just buck the trend and not even try to catch up anymore. I mean, there's a point where you get so far behind that trying to catch up just becomes silly, so why not just start where you are and go from there. It is what it is.

I think the same way! Its silly to see "December" on a Summer issue.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't see how Gemstone can alter the order of issues. #384 is the December issue. Are you suggesting making #385 the March issue? That makes no sense. What happens to the Jan. and Feb. issues in the historical scheme of Uncle Scrooge comics? I say keep the order and just be late?just admit to your readership that you're gonna be perpetually as slow as molasses in Dec.
Still, a big part of the fun of a new issue is the anticipation of the release date. And if you don't know when that is, there goes half the fun!

..and if they have one year delay January is January again ;)

Hopefully they will fix their problem and the comic books will be back soon.
