Hello from Amazon.ca.

We're sorry to report we won't be able to obtain the following item from
your order:

J. Michael Straczynski (Author), et al "Rising Stars"

Although we'd expected to be able to send this item to you, we've since
found it's not available from any of our sources at this time. We
realize this is disappointing news to receive, and we apologize for any
inconvenience we've caused you.

We must apologize also for the length of time it's taken us to reach this
conclusion. Until recently, we'd still hoped to obtain this item for you.

We've cancelled this item from your order.

Your credit card will not be charged for this item, because you only pay
for items when we ship them to you.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this delay.

Your order is now closed.

That was regarding an order I passed on March 16 for the complete collection of Rising Stars in hardcover. I was really looking forward to reading it and started looking for the individual trades when I found this thing:

holy moly!!! This will be a huge collection and should be available this Fall. I'm getting all kinds of release dates between indigo.ca (oct. 1), amazon.ca (oct. 25), and amazon.com (dec. 25), but I will hold off any Rising Stars purchase until then. Amazon.com says it will total 1280 pages. wow

Other than that, I've read New Universal up to #5 and thought it was very interesting. I'm currently Welcome to Tranquility (up to issue #5) and it's a whole different kind of thing. Pretty funny trying to think of some old people as super heroes past their prime.
