It is set to come out with issue 11. The devs (Back Alley Brawler in particular) have confirmed that the set will be insanely quick.

Combination Attacks

The highlight of the dual blades power set is its implementation of a "combo system." Most attacks lack a secondary effect (like Katana's -Def or Dark's -Acc) but the set makes up for this by adding the ability to chain attacks together to create an additional effect at the end.
