Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market. Where retailers try to increase their orders and reorders 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! And courtesy of stats from Diamond Comic Distributors.
And the JLA/Avengers collection created from DC/Marvel for Hero Initiative to celebrate the life of Geroge Perez beat out everything, even Something Is Killing The Children #21 – now expected to be March’s best-selling comic in the direct market. Of course, how many of those JLA/Avengers orders will be filled, from a print run of only 7,000, is unknown.
