Delayin' "Cable": Call me a pessimist, but this just doesn't strike me as a good sign: The debut of the "Cable & Deadpool" series by '90s refugee Fabian Nicieza and UDON's Mark Brooks, with covers by Rob Liefeld, has been postponed from November to March.

X-Fan reports that Brooks had to attend to a previous obligation before diving back into the new series.

"Mark wanted to work on both and we wanted Mark to work on both," Marvel PR wonk Michael Doran told X-Fan. "So instead of finding a new artist for one or the other, we simply delayed the release of 'Cable & Deadpool' to the spring."

Rob must be feeling pretty good that, for once, a delay can't be pinned on him.
