Prints Charming – Figment In The Flesh

Consider this an irregular feature looking at comic books that have gone to second prints or more. Now, it is worth remembering that some publishers plan second prints automatically, whether they are needed or not and will often just run extra first print copies in the initial run, set them aside and put a second print cover on them. It can be a marketing strategy, showing that there is confidence in the performance of the book, get a headline or three and use it to persuade retailers to up their orders of subsequent books. And comics news reporting sites become implicit in that market distortion every time we run them as a story.

But hey ho, away we go. In for a penny…

We already mentioned that Figment #2 was going to second printing, well, here it is.

Other books doing the second print dance include Wolverine #9, All-New Ghost Rider #3, All-New X-Men #27, All-New X-Men #28, and the previously mentioned Winterworld #1 and Star Trek: City On The Edge Of Forever.

As are C.O.W.L. #2, Nailbiter #2 and Outcast #1.
