Prints Charming – Black Science, Imperium And Ninjak…

Consider this an increasingly regular 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.

Given that….

Black Science #13 from Image Comics is getting a second printing – and any retailer who orders this printing, will get an increased discount on reorders of the first print of Black Science #12. The second printing will be in stores for May 27th.

And Valiant Entertainment are going through a batch of second prints, with Imperium #2 and #3 hitting stores on 3rd June, along with Ninjak #1 and #2.

And the Batman #40 second printing we reported on yesterday? Already sold out from Diamond Comic Distributors.

Expect a third printing to follow…
