Looks like Marvel cancelled Daredevil Black Armor #1 2nd print, Carnage #1 2nd print, Black Panther #6 2nd print, Secret Wars Battleworld #1 2nd print…
They are no longer on PRH’s website.
Seems to be happening a lot with Marvel lately.
I’ve been waiting for the second prints because they typically have been better covers.
no ih6 2nd either, must be cutting way back on ptgs
That’s cuz it ain’t selling. The subsequent printings don’t have as much spec value as it used to and buyers are wised up. Marvel killed the special events gimmick, first issue gimmicks, character crossover gimmicks and countless other gimmicks to sell books. They’re now on their way to doing that with further printings.

i was picking up 2nd and subsequent printings by Marvel if the cover was good (not the “blue” bar or B&W backgrounds of past, but new art or splash interior)
I really wish all this wasn’t so money-driven (what??? … i know) but just good selection, not recycling, catering to quality not data or gimmick, like stop with the 1:25 2nd prints.
As much as the subsequent printing on Transformers/Void Rivals might be overkill, at least the covers have been something interior or entirely new. Thats cool

That smile on Batman’s face “he’s alive!” Is enough for me to think the callers made the right choice…

Lunar under ordered so there were no copies available to reorder of #1 second print the day #2 arrived in the store with the great Superman/Godzilla battle. There was a combo reprint of issues #1 and #2 combined into one book on FOC just past so until it arrives there’s no other copies out there for new readers to enjoy/get started. The #2’s are starting to move the last several days.
