Mouse Guard: Winter 1152 Comes Out TODAY!?

Whadahuh? So after several weeks of wondering what the heck happened to the second series of Mouse Guard (it recently premiered at Comic-Con, but has been M.I.A. in stores) author David Petersen had this to say on his blog:

"Winter 1152 Issue #1 *UPDATE* Due to a mix-up at Diamond, the books didn't ship out and have been at Diamond's warehouse for weeks. (The books were set to go out for the 25th of July!!!) Now it looks like the release date will be August 15th barring an unforseen incident."


Why, that's today! Winter 1152 isn't on the Diamond shipping list nor my local comic shop's in-store list for tomorrow, but I'm still going to expect that upon showing up for my comics, I'll be greeted with a big celebratory sales display adorned with adorable yet honorable sword-wielding mice. If this is not the case, there's going to be trouble. And by trouble, I mean tears.

UPDATE!!! David Petersen just updated his site - he meant to say August 22nd. It's still not on the Diamond Shipping list. I can't take the suspense....

And by tears she means blood.

I haven't read MG in a while and I keep meaning to pick it up and then forget. I feel like I should just wait for the TP, but I don't think it's supposed to be out until February.
