    Is Magnus Robot Fighter cancelled?

    No solicit for June here. I know its been delayed thanks to Shooter rambling on his web site blog about random topics that no one reads.

  2. Edward Kaye says:

    I don’t think so. At least, I’ve not heard anything. It’s probably just delayed. I think Shooter can’t keep up with three monthly titles.
