Oh well. I pre-ordered it, so I did all that I could do, and once again stress the following: Pre-order things, people! Many of us sit on the sidelines and wait until a book is released, but when it comes to oddball stuff like this pre-order numbers can make the difference between release and cancellation. Another strange thing is the late cancellation. Was the work already done for this book? If it is already recolored, etc., then maybe we will get the softcover. I can't imagine DC spending the money on the work and then eating the cost.
