Not everyone complied with DC's request to hold Batman Inc #3

Not everyone complied with DC's request to hold Batman Incorporated #3 until August 22. The book was originally reported as delayed a month past its July 25 publication date by DC, but it was recently discovered that the book had already shipped and DC was requesting all comic book retailers to delay the book's sales themselves.

Well, on my weekly comic shop jaunt, I discovered one of my two LCSs had not complied with the publisher's request.

The issue, written by Grant Morrison with art by Chris Burnham, was asked to be stalled by the publisher after the Aurora, Colorado, shooting last week. The issue contains some gun-related violence that could be viewed as insensitive in the wake of the mass murder. By the time of the shooting, ostensibly, the deliveries of Batman Inc #3 had already shipped to Diamond Distributors, who were unlikely to return the payload.
