I half agree with this. The thing is that other comments from Murphy have made it seem quite clear that Peter does not, in fact, like the Archie series. I don't get it either because he contributed both cover art and new characters to the series. Peter can feel free to prove us all wrong on this, though.
But I don't think it is Peter's apparent dislike for the series that is endangering the publication of The Forever War. Both of these interviews make mention of just how small and unorganized the publishing division of Mirage is (TWO people, neither of which are working full-time in publishing) and I can't help but think it's a simple lack of manpower that's keeping this from seeing the light of day. It sounds like Peter refuses to hire new staff and without the staff to put the books together the future is likely to continue to look murky. So in this sense it is Peter's fault, just not for the reason Spitfire states.
