So Good News:
AP gave us a floating deadline with Issue 7 so that basically lifts a great weight off of our shoulders and we can finally take off our crunch-mode hats. This'll give Luigi the time he needs to put in the details we were going to cut / skip over then redo for later.
Which, also this could lead to use paying Raven for full color work instead of a partial. This whole story hinges on this final issue and we want to make sure we stick the landing, otherwise everything was for nothing.
Just one hint of what all this means: Don't let the green grass fool you.
