Do comics not get released until tomorrow because of Veteran's Day?

It’s Wednesday once again and time for a bit o’ reading off the rack. This week sees the return of Locke & Key, a horror book that ditches character types in exchange for character progression. Another huge happening is the relaunch of Punisher Max as, what else, Punishermax, written by Jason Aaron of Scalped and drawn by Steve Dillion of… well, of Punisher. But that’s just the beginning, because it’s time once again for...
10) SWORD #1
From the pages of Astonishing X-Men.
9) Ghoul #1
Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson hook up for what promises to be an excellent tale.
8) Realm Of Kings Imperial Guard #1
Marvel cosmic… need I say more?
7) Punishermax #1
Written by Jason Aaron, this is once again the only Punisher comic worth reading (Franken Punisher FTL).
6) Unwritten #7
Another one of those quirky Vertigo titles that ended up being awesome.
5) Supergod #1
“And it’s one of the odder things I’ve written, I think.” – Warren Ellis speaking about Supergod #1.
4) Strange #1
What happens when a sorcerer cease to be supreme? Written by Mark Waid.
3) Batman And Robin #6
Oh yes!
2) Walking Dead #67
The fact that it has zombies (that aren’t formerly Marvel heroes) is reason enough to buy it, but considering it’s the second best horror comic being released right now makes it required reading.
1) Locke & Key Crown Of Shadows #1
Hands down the best horror comic. Just amazing.

Do comics not get released until tomorrow because of Veteran's Day?
Most comics are delivered via UPS, only the USPS (Postal Service) is closed on the majority of holidays.
Look people, if you're reading Blackest Night and you like cosmic stuff, you gotta pick up REBELS #10. A whole LOT of stuff happens, so if you don't know the book you should Wikipedia yourself up to speed. It's my pick of the week! (Dark X-Men was amazingly not horrible, btw)
Any of the Monday holidays make them a day late. I don't know about Veteran's day. Were they late?
I dunno about S.W.O.R.D. It seems like one of those series that's going to struggle and get cancelled as soon as it figures out what it is, like MI:13 from last year. But it does have Lockheed, so I'll read it.
Strange-It's fun to have the good doctor lose his title, but he needs to get it back again one day.
R.E.B.E.L.S.-Hey! Cosmic stuff on the DC side is getting interesting too...
X-Force-Well, Necrosha started out better than I could have imagined, so I'm going to look forward to this. Who'dathunk?
Ben, I think you are the only one who has a problem with that Luke Cage title. I can't figure out what's wrong with it!!
