It doesn't get much bigger than the 1000th issue of something. It only happens once in a comic book's lifespan (no matter what kind of math you use), and Marvel Comics' flagship title Amazing Spider-Man will be reaching that pinnacle on September 16 with Amazing Spider-Man #1000.
Just one small problem... the printer they are using is having some problems, and it'll take two weeks to sort it out.
Marvel has just sent a notice to comic book store retailers alerting them that the vaunted Amazing Spider-Man #1000 will not be going on sale August 16, but has been delayed at least two weeks, with the new presumed release date being September 30. This would be all 32 versions of the issue, meaning the two main covers and the 30 variants (well, 30 at last count). Marvel primarily uses three printing houses for its comic books, but has not disclosed which printer is having the issue.
This also affects the digital edition of Amazing Spider-Man #1000, despite not having any printer issues to keep that going... but that's to be expected, as Marvel has long kept its comic book release dates the same for both digital and printed books.
I hope not too many people or stores made plans for special events surrounding Amazing Spider-Man #1000's September 16 release date. If so, well... on the good side, you have two more weeks of planning?
