Probably one of my favorite comics from the last 5 years. Really awesome piece of work. Sucks it just disappeared right when it was nearing the climax. When completed, I wouldn't mind seeing this as a TPB because it was working on deserving it. So many other comics don't.

The Twelve #9
Solicited for release on September 2008
Months Missing: 33 months
Status: Back On Track
JMS & Chris Weston’s The Twelve maxi-series was plagued with delays since its debut in January 2008, and in early 2009 then-Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada said the project was “on hold” due to commitments by both Straczynski and Weston to movie projects. In February 2010 JMS said he had resumed writing the series and Weston has shown sample panels since. Series editor Tom Brevoort has said issues #9 and #10 are complete, but that they were holding off resuming publication until #11 and #12 were all in the can. Both Marvel and Chris Weston gave no comment when asked, but JMS was very forthcoming to CBR when asked about when readers can expect a conclusion to “The Twelve”.
“I suspect (but don't know for a fact) that Marvel is going to do this as a trade paperback or GN. When that date is, I don't know,” Straczynski told CBR.” All I do know is that on my screen right now as I type this is the artwork for page 22 of issue 11, and that a bunch more pages of script were turned in the other day. Tom [Brevoort], Chris and I are all determined to get this done, and for all the nonsense, the book looks gorgeous.“
“I won't sit here and say readers will feel it was worth the wait -- no book in history since the Book of Psalms is worth this sort of wait -- but I do believe, down to my socks, that this is a terrific book, maybe one of the best things he or I have done in the form.”
