Copperhead And Batgirl Battle It Out Over Advance Reorders

mashGreetings 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!

I'm told that this Monday gone, DC Comics and Diamond received a massive increase of advance orders from comic book retailers for more copies of Batgirl #35, out next month.

I wonder why.

It also beat out advance reorders for Death Of Wolverine #3, though not quite enough to topple Copperhead #2 which had been putting on orders all week, after the smash sell out of last week's launch issue of the sci-fi western from Image, also with a rather complex action-adventure female lead…

The launch of Birthright and Wytches for Image have also drawn attention, all above the new Batman arc, Endgame. And note how retailers are still trying to keep up with demand for Sex Criminals.
