On his Tumblr, writer Brian Michael Bendis addressed "Civil War II" #5's delay and revealed that Marvel has greenlit an extra issue for the series, bringing the event's run up to eight issues total.

Answering a fan question, Bendis explained that the delays were due to David Marquez's new addition to the family. The artist celebrated the birth of his son as recently as a month ago, and -- as such -- has been focusing on his family as well as his artwork.

Bendis also released a new page from the comic, writing, "So a little late and you get a little more. Here's a sneak..."
