The great thing about the web is that it’s constantly in flux. Make a mistake on your webpage, you can fix it five minutes later. If your product changes, you can update the webpage quickly and easily.
I don’t think DC knows this. Because the front page still includes this among this week’s releases:
SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY VOL. 4
Written by Grant Morrison; Art by Doug Mahnke, Freddie Williams III, Yanick Paquette and Michael Bair; Cover by MahnkeThe brilliant mind of Grant Morrison (THE INVISIBLES, JLA, ANIMAL MAN, DOOM PATROL, New X—Men) is showcased once again as his most groundbreaking and ambitious project concludes! This fourth volume in the series features the exploits of three of the seven soldiers: Mister Miracle, Bulleteer, and Frankenstein from SEVEN SOLDIERS: FRANKENSTEIN #2—4, SEVEN SOLDIERS: MISTER MIRACLE #3 and 4, SEVEN SOLDIERS: BULLETEER #3 and 4, and SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY #1. Independently, each of these characters is featured in a story arc that redefines his or her purpose in the DCU. But their stories also interweave with the other Soldiers’ tales, forming a grander story of a devastating global threat to mankind. Together these reluctant champions must arise and somehow work together to save the world…without ever meeting one another!

For one thing, it’s not even correct: J.H. Williams should be listed among the artists, since he’s doing #1.
But of course, he hasn’t done it yet, and the issue has been pushed off to October. Which means this collection won’t even be published until the end of the year, if not 2007.
None of this was even recent; Seven Soldiers #1 was supposed to be released in April, and was officially cancelled a month or two ago. DC has even updated their site with the resolicited issue.
How long could it possibly take to change or delete the entry? It’s been on the front page for several days now; has no one noticed?
(and yes, some of this is just an anger outlet because I’m mad SS #1 was delayed so abysmally in the first place)
