Just checked Image's website and still listed as TBD. It might be due to the fact that Johnathan Hickman is doing the writing on a couple of the new Marvel Now Avengers books or that Manhattan Projects took off.

Well I feel like they'll need to start over and release a 3rd print to get things going again if they ever come around. I did enjoy the cybercrime element of the whole thing being in IT in all. I feel like the characters were a bit more gritty than the Thief of Thieves and could the plot could easily stand on it's own in the AMC universe. "They" have done the thief style shows before and I feel like have a cybercrime element in the storyline would cell better.

IIRC, there was a message by Hickman to the readers in the back of Manhattan Projects #7 re: the scheduling problems.. I don't have mine with me at the moment, if someone could look in theirs and see..
Big signatures are REALLY annoying.

Just read on another forum that the expected release date is around Christmas. Also someone there mentioned that according to Hickman the series will end sooner then originally planned. No info on how short the series would be.

Maybe they have shelved it for good.

I feel like I should kill this chat and start it up in that life outside comics...I'll do that.

Will look for more concrete source when I have more time.

Looked on Hickman's Formspring thread and I quote "I doubt it's going to happen beyond the third issue", while answering a question about getting back to Secret. Also according to Heavyink.com the new release date for the thrid issue is 6/25/13.

Based on all I have read it pretty much points to the artist not being able to keep up with deadlines. I believe because of this all new books for Image have to have 3 issues completed before they will solicit issue #1.
