The Wicked + The Divine Tops Advance Reorders Again, This Time Thanks To Kevin Wada

Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market. Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale. Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire!

So this is how it goes. The Wicked + The Divine's solicitations come out. Retailers look at them, hum and haw, and place their orders. And then, just before the Final Order Cut-Off date, Image Comics let them now that another artist is doing another cover and bazam, they get a flood more orders. It worked with Stephanie Harris and now it has worked with Kevin Wada.

I do also think that George Perez' Sirens might have received more attention. Bt we'll know on publication…
