Yesterday, retailers received the following e-mail from Diamond, DC Comics’ exclusive distributors to comic shops:

TRICK ‘R TREAT MINISERIES TO BE RESOLICITED AT A LATER DATE

TRICK ‘R TREAT, the four-issue weekly shipping mini-series from WildStorm, has been postponed and will be resolicited at a later date.  All orders placed under the item codes AUG070318, AUG070319, AUG070320 and AUG070321 are cancelled.

This begs the question: are they going to change all the evil pumpkins into happy Santas? I can see it now:

DARK RUDOLPH!

WON’T YOU PULL SOME SLAY TONIGHT??

It also makes me wonder what I’m going to give the little kiddies this Halloween. Their parents won’t accept apples…
