Marvel only announced the title last week, in a very late press release:I had no references for a release of Luke Cage this week, Shakeel. So I'm feeling confident that you were misdirected somehow. In fact, I can't find information on a release date ANYWHERE.
This release seems like a very last minute decision on Marvel's part, so I'm not at all surprised that retailers don't yet have any information about it.Marvel Press Release said:
