 * According to Rab, it's fine to make pages a few days or weeks ahead of the actual issues release dates.

Skeletons generally wind up with the solicit art, the solicited release dates, and the solicited creative staff.

Plots and appearances are generally not put in until after the comics go on sale. This is to avoid pre-release spoilers/leaks.

Personally, I lump the finalized cover with the plots and appearances. DC has in the past change covers or deliberately used solicit art that omits/hides details.
