DC’s two Geoff Johns-penned titles — Shazam! and Doomsday Clock — have been hit with new delays.

Last month, DC pushed Shazam! #7 from its original June solicitation date back to August 7. Now it’s being moved again, to August 14, which in turn ripples out to affect the next three issues as well. If everything stays on schedule from here out, Shazam! #8 will be out August 28, #9 September 11, and #10 September 25.

No, that’s not a typo — DC has the Geoff Johns/Dale Eaglesham series scheduled for a bi-weekly release as of #7.

Shazam! #7 delayed

Here are the original solicitations for the next two issues:

In other news that shouldn’t be surprising to anyone at this point, the next issue of Doomsday Clock is moving back from August 14 to August 28. Issue #11 was originally scheduled for May 22; #10 arrived May 29 after several delays.

The first collected edition remains on the schedule for October.
