Delayed Comics Mixed In With Tomorrow's Comics
I've learnt from one retailer, then backed up by the experiences of others, that both tomorrow's comics and the next week's have been delivered together, mixed up, from Diamond Comic Distributors. There is indication on the invoice that certain titles are to be kept for the following week, but it's easily missed.
Basically, expect all manner of stores to be selling Amazing Spider-Man #700, Justice League #15 and Mara #1 tomorrow...
...unless of course those Secret Shoppers are out in force.
IF you actually check in your shipment, the affected titles are completely separate on the invoice and have the on sale date repeated between EVERY item. Anyone who could 'mistakenly' put those books out is a moron.
If you'd like to see my store, a faux movie trailer was shot there.

Damn, that's probably too late to get Mara in this months shipment.

Easily missed?

The comics are not even listed on the regular invoice.

Even Alicia Masters can't miss that one
More the point that if those books are on sale tomorrow, it ain't stupid, it's greed. Short sighted and ignorant greed, I might add. Earning trust from publishers to get to have things like this has taken decades, I just keep waiting for some bastard to screw it up.

Boxing day release dates...seriously? Couldn't they have just made the street date this week? Would it have made that much difference...
Are comics retailers that unintelligent or not knowledgeable that they would actually use 'I didn't know' as an excuse?
Anybody spoiled Avenging Spider-Man #15.1 yet?
